New treatment option for Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
Official title ctDNA-Guided Sunitinib And Regorafenib Therapy for GIST
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05366816
What this study is testing
What is Sunitinib?
Sunitinib is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
Also referred to as Sutent, SU11248.
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
- The purpose of this research is to test if mutations (changes in DNA) in exons (segment of DNA or RNA containing information that has the instructions for making proteins) in the KIT gene can be used to predict the body's response to standard of care treatment.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
