All other significant diseases (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease), which, in the opinion of the investigator, might impair the subject’s tolerance of trial treatment; 13. Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial 14. Patients not receiving anticoagulant medication who have an International Normalized Ratio (INR) >1.5 or an activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) >1.5 x ULN within 7 days prior to first study treatment. Note: Patients receiving full dose oral or parenteral anticoagulants may be included in the study as long as anticoagulant dosing has been stable for at least 2 weeks prior to study entry and the appropriate coagulation monitoring tests are within local therapeutic limits; 15. Effective contraception for both male and female subjects if the risk of conception exists. (Note: The effects of the study drugs on the developing human fetus are unknown. Thus, women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use effective contraception, defined as 2 barrier methods e.g. implants, injectables, combined or

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess anti-tumor activity of avelumab in combination with axitinib in patients with unresectable/metastatic GIST after progression despite previous treatment with at least imatinib and sunitinib;Secondary Objective: Secondary goals include the assessment of progression-free survival, overall survival, the response rate according to RECIST 1.1 criteria (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors), duration of response, disease control percentage, and CTCAE v.4.0 adverse event score (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events), and the assessment of potential biomarkers of prognostic and predictive importance for the prognosis of patients;Primary end point(s): Rate of Participants Achieving 3-Month Progression-Free Survival (PFSR) defined as a percentage of patients with a documented total, partial or stabilization response after 3 months of treatment according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria. SAFETY Toxicity levels according to common terminological criteria for adverse events developed by the National Cancer Institute of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, NCI-CTCAE, version 4.0;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary end-point of the study is progression free survival 3 months after start of therapy, measured as a binary variable. Patients will be considered as “success” if one radiological evaluation performed after 3 months therapy indicates a “stable disease” or a “response” as defined by the RECIST method; all other cases will be considered as failures.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Overall survival (OS) • Progression free survival (PFS) • Disease control rate (DCR) [ • the percentage of responses to treatment and the duration of the response. Exploring endpoints: Collection of biological material for translational research projects to detect potential biomarkers of prognostic and predictive importance for the prognosis of patients;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: PFS: [time from treatment initiation to date of first documentation of progression of disease assessed by the Investigator (by RECIST version 1.1) or death due to any cause] OS:[time from the date of treatment initiation until the date of death from any cause]. The observation of patients still alive will be censored at the time of the last visit / contact The assessment of adverse events according to the CTCAE v.4.0 classification (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) will take place at every medical visit (every 2 weeks) Collection of biological material for translational research will take place: - tumor tissue biopsy before treatment - peripheral blood sampling before treatment, after 8 weeks of treatment, after confirmation of disease progression
