A Study of IDRX-42 (GSK6042981) Versus (vs) Sunitinib in Participants With Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors After Imatinib Therapy
United States, Australia, Belgium450 participantsStarted 2025-12-03
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to find out if a new drug, called IDRX-42 (also known as GSK6042981), is effective in treating adults with a type of cancer called Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) when compared to another drug named sunitinib. The study will see if IDRX-42 works well and is safe for participants whose GIST has spread or cannot be surgically removed, and who have already taken the drug imatinib. Participants whose disease worsens after receiving sunitinib in this study may cross over to receive GSK6042981, at investigator's discretion and if additional eligibility criteria are met.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed GIST that is metastatic and/or surgically unresectable.
* Documented disease progression on or intolerance to imatinib administered for first-line treatment of unresectable/metastatic disease.
* Documented mutation status of KIT and/or PDGFRA using a tissue based next-generation sequencing or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay.
* Tumor tissue must be available for retrospective biomarker analysis. Sample may be archival or new biopsy.
Exclusion Criteria:
* GIST that is both KIT and PDGFRA wild-type or known to harbor an activating PDGFRA exon 18 mutation.
* Known untreated or active central nervous system metastases.
* Participants with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any component of IDRX-42 (GSK6042981) or sunitinib. Participants with a history of Stevens-Johnson syndrome on a prior Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) are excluded.
* Has a malignancy (except disease under study) that has progressed or required active treatment within the past 24 months except for basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas of the skin or in-situ carcinomas (e.g., breast, cervix, bladder) that have been resected with no evidence of metastatic disease.
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?
