Keywords

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour, GIST, non-resectable, metastatic, second line treatment, resistance to imatinib, tyrosine kinase inhibitor

Brief summary

The objective is to compare the efficacy and safety of masitinib at 12 mg/kg/day to sunitinib at 50 mg/day in the treatment of patients with gastro-intestinal stromal tumor (GIST) after progression with imatinib.

Detailed description

Masitinib is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor with potent activity against wild-type c-Kit, the juxta membrane domain of c-Kit, and PDGFR. Masitinib is also thought to promote survival via modulation of immunostimulation-mediated anticancer effects and modulation of the tumor microenvironment. The objective is to compare the efficacy and safety of masitinib at 12 mg/kg/day with respect to sunitinib at 50 mg/day in the treatment of imatinib-resistant gastro-intestinal stromal tumor (GIST).

Inclusion criteria

Main inclusion criteria include: * Patient with histological proven metastatic GIST or non-operable locally advanced GIST * Patient with c-Kit (CD117) positive tumor detected immuno-histochemically * Patient after at least one progression with imatinib at a dose up to 800mg. Progression is defined as a RECIST 1.1 and/or CHOI disease progression while receiving imatinib treatment. Main

Exclusion criteria

include: * Patient treated for a cancer other than GIST within 5 years before enrolment, with the exception of basal cell carcinoma or cervical cancer in situ * Patient with active central nervous system (CNS) metastasis or with history of CNS metastasis * Pregnant, or nursing female patient

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Survival (OS)From day of randomization to death, assessed for a maximum of 60 monthsOverall survival is defined as time in months from the randomization date to the date of death due to any cause. If a patient is not known to have died, then OS will be censored at the date of last known date patient alive.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Survival rateEvery 12 weeks until study completion, assessed for a maximum of 60 monthsSurvival rate is defined as the number of patients alive divided by the number of patients in the population of analysis. Assessed at week-8, -16, -24, and every 12 weeks thereafter.
Progression Free Survival (PFS)From day of randomization to disease progression or death, assessed for a maximum of 60 monthsProgression Free Survival is defined as the time from the randomization date until the date of earliest evidence of disease progression or death, for participants who progressed or died before subsequent cancer therapy. Disease progression will be assessed by the investigator on CT scan according to RECIST 1.1 criteria and/or CHOI criteria.
