Recruiting PHASE2 Unresectable Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST)

Compares treatment options for Unresectable Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST)

Official title A Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter, Comparative Study of the Efficacy of Imatinib Resumption Combined With Atezolizumab Versus Imatinib Resumption Alone in Patients With Unresectable Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) After Failure of Standard Treatments

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05152472

What this study is testing

What is Atezolizumab 1200 mg?

Atezolizumab 1200 mg is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for unresectable gastrointestinal stromal tumor (gist).

Also referred to as Tecentriq®.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This trial is a prospective, randomized (1:1 ratio), multicenter, comparative and phase II study, conducted in patients with unresectable advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) after failure of imatinib (disease progression),sunitinib and regorafenib (either disease progression or intolerance) In the first arm, patients will be treated with imatinib + atezolizumab (experimental arm), whereas in the second arm, patients will be treated with imatinib alone (control arm). The comparison between this two arms will allow to compare whether or not atezolizumab and imatinib is efficient for disease control, in terms of Progression-Free Survival improvement.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
