Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST)
These quite rare tumors represent about 20% of the benign and malignant tumors of the small bowel. It's sometimes difficult to distinguish between benign connective tissue tumors and low-grade cancers of the muscle wall of the small gut. Malignant tumors of this type can produce intestinal obstruction or perforation, and spread within the abdominal cavity is common.

Metastatic Unresectable Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) Study - G2301
A randomized, open-label, multi-center phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a Novartis investigational drug versus an approved therapy in adult patients with unresectable or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). An "investigational drug" is a drug that is being clinically tested and is not approved for sale or use in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for the indication in which it is being studied.
Trial phase: Phase 3 Participation Duration: Participants enrolling in this study will be required to visit the study center 4 times within the first month. Follow up visits will be required every 3 months until the trial is complete (up to 10 years). Protocol Number: CAMN107G2301 Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) Study - US282
A non-randomized, open-label, multi-center phase II investigational study of an existing therapy in patients at significant risk for recurrence following complete resection of primary gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).
Trial phase: Phase 2 Participation Duration: Participants will be required to visit the study center 3 times within the first month, and then once every 4 months until the study is completed. At the conclusion of your treatment, the study center will contact you twice a year for five years. Protocol Number: CSTI571BUS282 |
