Detailed Description
INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are thought to develop from the interstitial cells of Cajal or their stem cell precursors. They are the most common mesenchymal tumors occurring in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The annual incidence of GIST is about 1/100,000 ~ 2/100,000 globally. Previous data showed that the incidence of GIST was 0.43 per 100,000 in Shanxi Province and 2.11per 100,000 in Shanghai in China.
Surgery is the primary therapy for patients with localized resectable disease. GIST that is metastatic or locally advanced but unresectable is treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that target KIT or PDGFRA.
Imatinib is recommended as the first-line standard treatment for metastatic or unresectable advanced GIST. Most patients with initial clinical benefits from Imatinib eventually progress. However, approximately 10% -14% of GIST is primarily resistant to imatinib and 90% of patients will develop secondary drug resistance within 4 years with imatinib treatment.
For patients who failed imatinib first-line treatment, Sunitinib is the standard second-line therapy but not the optimal treatment regimen in clinical practice. Other TKIs targeting KIT is also used in the second-line setting. A phase 3 study to evaluate sunitinib's efficacy in advanced GIST compared with placebo, showed that the mPFS was 5.6 months [2], while a phase I study of ripretinib demonstrated that the mPFS was10.7months as a second-line treatment in advanced GIST[4]. Another single-arm second-line treatment study of dasatinib also suggested that dasatinib had a tumor suppression effect in the treatment of advanced GIST with imatinib treatment failure, with mPFS of 2.9 months, and mOS of 19 months, especially for patients with SRC overexpression and PDGFRA D842V mutation [5]. There is a lack of real-world data on advanced GIST patients who have progressed on first-line treatment with different treatment patterns, and the benefits are also unknown.
The investigators initiate this prospective, observational, real-world study that aims to explore the second-line treatment patterns and the clinical outcomes in GIST patients who progressed on or were intolerant to first-line treatment in real-world clinical practice.
STUDY PROCEDURE Approximately 100 patients will be enrolled. According to the inclusion criteria, patients will receive second-line treatment that was recommended by the current guidelines, including sunitinib, imatinib dose-escalation, repritinib, dasatinib, and other drugs based on the physician's judgment. Data will be collected based on a real-world setting.
SCREENING PERIOD During the screening period, the informed consent form will be signed before enrolling. Radiologic imaging and dermatologic examination should be performed within 30 days before the first day of enrollment. Baseline information, including medical history, previous treatment pattern, ECOG PS score, EORTC-QLQ-C30 scale, molecular detection, and any laboratory test should be recorded.
OBSERVATION PERIOD Patients will be enrolled in the study after confirmation of all eligibility criteria. The treatment patterns will be decided by the physician. Study visits during the Treatment Period will occur every 2 months. Regular physical examination, vital signs, imaging examination, tumor assessment(PFS and ORR), EORTC-QLQ-C30, 2. ECOG PS score, the dose of drug and dose Administration, and drug-related adverse events will be recorded during each visit.
FELLOW-UP PERIOD Patients will be contacted by phone call for the Safety Follow-up Visit 30 days after the last visit of study. Any AEs, medications, including anticancer treatments, and survival status will be followed during this period.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Progression-free survival rate [1 year]
The primary objective is to demonstrate the proportion of patients with progression-free survival (PFS) determined by radiological assessment per modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST), version 1.1 in patients with advanced GIST following the second-line treatment.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Progression-free survival [2 years]
To evaluate PFS determined by radiology assessment per mRECIST, version 1.1 in patients with advanced GIST treated with second-line treatment.
- overall survival (OS) [2 years]
To evaluate overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced GIST treated with second-line treatment.
- objective response rate (ORR) [2 years]
To evaluate objective response rate (ORR) determined by radiology assessment per mRECIST, version 1.1 in patients with advanced GIST treated with second-line treatment.
- Time to objective response [1 year]
Time to objective response is defined as the interval between the date of randomization and the earliest documented evidence of the best objective reponse based on the independent radiologic review the best objective response rate (ORR) determined by radiology assessment per mRECIST, version 1.1 in patients with advanced GIST treated with second-line treatment.
- R0/R1 resection rate [2 years]
To evaluate the proportion of patients who performed R0/R1 resection surgery with advanced GIST treated with second-line treatment.
- EORTC QLQ-C30 [Difference between baseline and every 3 month during the follow-up period]
QOL as measured by using EORTC QLQ-C30, Change in Individual Scores in Patients With Advanced GIST Treated under second-line treatment
- Safety-TEAEs [2 years]
Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), adverse events of special interest (AESIs), serious adverse events (SAEs), dose reduction or discontinuation of study drug due to toxicity; changes from baseline in ECOG PS; Incidence of surgical complications.
Other Outcome Measures
- To explore the association of cilinical outcomes with treatment pattern [2 years]
To evaluate the association of cilinical outcomes with baseline genotype mutation status,treatment parrern, R0/R1 resection status
