AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
. Progression or intolerance after treatment with at least imatinib (400 mg and 600/800 mg/d) then sunitinib at either 50mg/d on a 4w/6w schedule or 37.5mg/d continuous dosing. Intolerance is defined as documented grade 3 or higher toxicity requiring treatment interruption as documented in patient record.
. Measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1.
. Performance status ≤ 2 (WHO).
. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) in accordance with local standards.
. Adequate organ system functions as defined below:
. a) Females of non-childbearing potential (i.e., physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant).
Exclusion criteria
. Prior malignant disease (other than GIST) within 3 years prior to entry, with the exception of in situ breast cell carcinoma or in situ carcinoma of the cervix or basocellular carcinoma or spinocellular carcinoma or bladder neoplasm, treated at least 6 months before and with no evidence of relapse.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Progression-free survival
Timeframe: Within 16 months after the first inclusion, from the date of randomisation until the date of the first documented progression or death from any cause
. History or clinical evidence of central nervous system (CNS) metastases or leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, except for patients with previously-treated CNS metastases, who are asymptomatic and have had no requirement for steroids or anti-seizure medication for 6 months prior to first dose of study drug. CNS screening with computed tomography \[CT\] or magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\] is required only if clinically indicated or if the subject has a history of CNS metastases.
. Treatment with any of the following anti-cancer therapies:
. Any ongoing toxicity from prior anti-cancer therapy that is \> Grade 1 followed and/or progressing in severity, except alopecia.
