Imatinib Dose Escalation to 800 mg/Day in Korean Patients With Metastatic or Unresectable GIST Harboring KIT Exon 9 Mutation: KENEDI

December 27, 2023 updated by: Min-Hee Ryu, Asan Medical Center

A Phase II Study of Imatinib Dose Escalation to 800 mg/Day in Korean Patients With Metastatic or Unresectable GIST Harboring KIT Exon 9 Mutation: Imatinib Dose Escalation

KIT exon 9 mutants had poorer survival compared with KIT exon 11 mutants when they were treated with the same dose of imatinib, 400 mg per day, and that patients with KIT exon 9 mutation had better progression-free survival with imatinib treatment at an escalated dose, 800 mg per day, than with imatinib treatment at a dose of 400 mg per day.10,11 Based on the results, imatinib 800 mg per day is now considered the standard dose for the treatment of patients with metastatic or unresectable GIST showing KIT exon 9 mutation in Western countries.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

According to our previous prospective phase II study of imatinib 400 mg per day in metastatic or unresectable GIST, hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities were more frequent in Korean patients compared to the Western studies.7 It may be caused by relatively higher exposure to imatinib per body surface area in Korean patients than in Western population because the weight and height of Korean patients are relatively smaller than Western people. So, we plan to start imatinib at 400 mg per day and then sequentially escalate the doses of imatinib in this study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
