A Study of HQP1351 in Patients With GIST or Other Solid Tumors

This study is a Multi-center, Open-label Phase 1 Study to Determine the Recommend Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) and Evaluate PK/PD and preliminary Efficacy of HQP1351 in Patients With GIST or Other Solid Tumors.

Surgery in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) for Treatment, Tumor Modeling, and Genomic Analysis

Objective: To follow people with GISTs and collect tumor tissue so that it can be studied in the lab. Eligibility: People age 6 and older who have a GIST. Design: Participants will be screened with a review of their medical records and samples. Participants will enroll in 1 other NIH study, and may be asked to enroll in 2 other optional NIH studies. Participants will have a medical history and physical exam. Data about how they function in their daily activities will be obtained. Participants may speak with a genetic counselor. They may have genetic testing. Participants will give blood samples. They may have a cheek swab. For this, small brush will be rubbed against the inside of the cheek. Participants may have a computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Or they may have a CT scan of the chest and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen and pelvis. Participants will be monitored every 6-12 months at the NIH Clinical Center, for up to 10 years before having surgery. If they need surgery, it will be performed at the NIH. Then, they will be monitored every 6-12 months, for up to 5 years after surgery. If a participant has surgery, tumor tissue samples and research specimen will be taken. If a participant does not need surgery, their participation will end after 10 years. If they have surgery, the 5-year monitoring period will restart after each surgery.

A Master Protocol to Evaluate DCC-3009 in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST)

The purpose of this Phase 1/2 master protocol study is to evaluate if DCC-3009 is safe, tolerable and works effectively in the treatment of GIST. The study will use a modular approach with each module being defined according to therapy: DCC-3009 alone or DCC-3009 in combination with other anticancer therapies. Each module will be conducted in 2 parts: Part 1 (Dose Escalation) and Part 2 (Dose Expansion). Participants will be treated in 28-day treatment cycles with an estimated duration of up to 2 years.

A Study of Ziftomenib in Combination With Imatinib in Patients With Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST)

In this clinical trial, the safety, tolerability, and preliminary antitumor activity of ziftomenib in combination with imatinib will be evaluated in adults with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) who have been treated previously with imatinib.

Oncogenetic Panel and Integrated Clinical Data Registry Study for Wild Type Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Patients

The genetic background for cancer treatment may also be different among different areas and races. There is lack of Taiwanese data of genetic alterations in cancer patients. To understand the landscape of genetic aberrations of cancer in Taiwan, large scale survey of the cancer patients is indicated. In this pilot study, the investigators want to evaluate the landscape of genetic aberrations in cancer patients via oncopaenl test and collect the clinical data of the patients. The result of the oncopanel test will be returned to patient and their attending physician for reference of their further treatment. In addition, the investigators want to correlate the clinical outcome with the genetic aberrations of the cancer patients in Taiwan. Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a rare cancer compared with the other solid tumors. C-KIT or PDGFRA mutation is found in approximately 85-90% of GISTs. Imatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting c-KIT, has been used to treat advanced GIST successfully since 2000. However, resistance to imatinib may develop either via secondary mutation of c-KIT or primary resistance to those with wild type c-KIT and PDGFRA. Although sunitinib and regorafenib have been approved as second and third line of treatment for advanced GIST, the progression free survival were only 6.8 and 4.8 months, respectively. The genetic landscape of GIST with wild type c-KIT and PDGFRA was less studied. In the current study, the investigators want to focus on the GISTs with wild type c-KIT and PDGFRA to perform the NGS oncopanel for these patients. Then the investigators can understand the genetic aberrations of these patients (wild type GIST) and help for searching the potential treatment targets to them.

Clinical & Pathological Studies of Upper Gastrointestinal Carcinoma

Our research of the biology of upper gastrointestinal cancers involves the study of tissue samples and cells from biopsies of persons with gastric or esophageal cancer or blood samples from upper gastrointestinal cancer patients and persons at high inherited risk for these cancers. We hope to learn the role genes and proteins play in the development of gastric and esophageal cancer.

MEK162 in Combination With Imatinib Mesylate in Patients With Untreated Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects, good and/or bad, of MEK162 and imatinib on the patient and on Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST). Funding Source - FDA OOPD, Array/Pfizer

First-in-human Study of IDRX-42 in Participants With Metastatic and/or Unresectable Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors

This is the first clinical trial of IDRX-42. The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary antitumor activity of IDRX-42 in adult participants with advanced (metastatic and/or surgically unresectable) GIST.

Resistance Profiling Using Functional Imaging and Next Generation Sequencing in Refractory Gastrointestinal Stomal Tumors (GIST)

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common malignant sarcomas of the gastrointestinal tract. Inhibitors of the mutated driver proteins KIT and PDGFRA can temporarily control disseminated GIST disease but cannot cure it. Recently, the investigators were able to elucidate the two main resistance mechanisms-the coexistence of ATP-binding pocket (AP) and activation loop (AL) mutations, as well as AP/AL combination mutations. Determining these resistance factors requires methods that are not yet established in routine clinical practice. The investigators hypothesize that identifying these factors and creating resistance profiles in the context of the anatomical location of metastatic lesions can open up new, clinically relevant therapeutic options, including local therapies. The aim of this project is to evaluate the practicability of these methods in everyday clinical use. An AI-supported image analysis and specialized molecular methods will be combined into a comprehensive resistance profile and will be provided to the treating physicians to potentially guide treatment decisions.

CEH-EUS for Differentiating GISTs and Leiomyomas: A Multicenter Prospective Self-Controlled Study

The investigators conduct a prospective, multicenter diagnostic trial primarily aimed at evaluating the value of contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasound (CEH-EUS) in differentiating gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) from leiomyomas, as well as its predictive utility in the risk stratification of GISTs.
