Efficiency of Imatinib Treatment After 10 Years of Treatment in Patients With Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours (GIST) (Gist-Ten)
France50 participantsStarted 2022-01-03
Plain-language summary
This is a 2 arms study concerning patients under imatinib treatment for at least 10 years of treatment with locally advanced/metastatic GIST.
In the first arm, patients will discontinue Imatinib treatment. This arm will allow to determine if the re-introduction of Imatinib at relapse is still an efficient treatment for the control of disease.
In the second arm, patients will continue Imatinib treatment, allowing to determine if the continuation of this treatment is efficient for disease control, by the rate of non-progression disease.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients ≥18 years of age;
* Histologically documented diagnosis of malignant advanced/metastatic GIST with immunohistochemical documentation of c-kit (CD117) expression either by the primary tumor or metastases;
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) - Performance status (PS) 0 to 2 evaluated within 7 days prior to the date of inclusion.
* Patient must be under imatinib treatment (at 300 or 400mg/day) maintained for 10 years or over with no more than 12 months in total or 3 consecutive months of interruption during the treatment period;
* Patient with controlled disease (without any progression under imatinib);
* Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans , laboratory tests, and other study procedures;
* Covered by a medical/health insurance;
* Signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the patient has been informed of all aspects of the trial prior to enrolment.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patient concurrently using other approved or investigational antineoplastic agents;
* Patient with GIST harboring the mutation D842V in PDGFRA;
* Major concurrent disease affecting cardiovascular system, liver, kidneys, haematopoietic system or else considered as clinically important by the investigator and that could be incompatible with patient's participation in this trial or would likely interfere with study procedures or results;
* Prior history of other malignancies other than study disease (except for basal cell …
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?

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.
