Active clinical trials for "Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors"

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has been found to be efficacious in the treatment of cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI). Memory and Attention Adaptation Training (MAAT) has been evaluated in previous clinical trials with samples of breast cancer survivors and found effective at reducing cancer-related cognitive impairment. MAAT has been demonstrated to be efficacious when it is delivered via videoconference.The use of telehealth delivery enhances access to cancer survivorship care and reduces time and travel burden among cancer survivors, especially those who live in rural and/or underserved areas where cancer survivor services are less available. People with a diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors also experience self-reported cancer-related cognitive impairment. In order to determine if MAAT can sufficiently treat CRCI among people with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), we propose a trial of MAAT to determine its initial level of effectiveness in improving both self-reported cognitive impairments and objective neuropsychological test performance in GIST patients.

This clinical trial studies if enhanced outpatient symptom management with telemedicine and remote monitoring can help reduce acute care visit due to chemotherapy-related adverse events. Receiving telemedicine and remote monitoring may help patients have better outcomes (such as fewer avoidable emergency room visits and hospitalizations, better quality of life, fewer symptoms, and fewer treatment delays) than patients who receive usual care.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of multiple dosing of avapritinib on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of midazolam in adult patients with metastatic or unresectable gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), recurrent gliomas, or other KIT mutant tumors.

The goal of this clinical trial is to construct a symptom management strategy for patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor targeted therapy based on symptom management theory under the guidance of MRC framework. Embed the symptom management strategy into the information platform and conduct an empirical study on integrated care for GIST patients, and compare it with the traditional outpatient follow-up patients to explore the safety and effectiveness of the symptom management strategy and the application effect of the integrated care platform.

KIT exon 9 mutants had poorer survival compared with KIT exon 11 mutants when they were treated with the same dose of imatinib, 400 mg per day, and that patients with KIT exon 9 mutation had better progression-free survival with imatinib treatment at an escalated dose, 800 mg per day, than with imatinib treatment at a dose of 400 mg per day.10,11 Based on the results, imatinib 800 mg per day is now considered the standard dose for the treatment of patients with metastatic or unresectable GIST showing KIT exon 9 mutation in Western countries.

The purpose of this study is to collect and assess long-term safety of nilotinib in patients who are on nilotinib treatment in a Novartis-sponsored, Oncology CD&MA study and are benefiting from the treatment as judged by the investigator.

This is an open-label extension study to provide long term safety data for GIST patients who are deriving clinical benefit from avapritinib upon the completion of avapritinib clinical trials.

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

The purpose of this multicenter, single-arm, exact binomial single-stage, phase II trial is to evaluate the efficacy of Nilotinib in patients with unresectable or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors

This study will assess the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of THE-630 in participants with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST).
