A Study of Ripretinib vs Sunitinib in Advanced GIST Patients After Treatment With Imatinib

Draft scope assessment: narrower. Linked by condition-string match at the cancer-entity level. The study's eligibility - stage, biomarker, treatment line and prior therapy - has not been reconciled against this page's definition, so its population is narrower than this page in ways not yet recorded. The condition was transformed or resolved through the terminology hierarchy to reach this cancer type, so the link itself is a candidate a reviewer must confirm. Found because this study's registry identifier is printed in an FDA approval notice, an FDA product label or an NCI summary held by this site. The citing document and the exact position of the identifier inside it are recorded. Being cited is not a statement that the study supports this treatment.

primary · POSTED

PFS is defined as the interval between the date of randomization and the earliest documented evidence of disease progression based on the independent radiologic review using modified RECIST Version 1.1-(mRECIST 1.1) GIST specific, or death due to any cause. Per mRECIST 1.1, progression was defined using mRECIST 1.1 as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

The KIT Exon 11 Intent to Treat (ITT) Population is defined as all patients who are designated as having a mutation in KIT Exon 11 at the time of randomization. Patients in this population will be analyzed according to the treatment they were scheduled to receive.

secondary · POSTED

ORR was defined as the proportion of patients with confirmed complete response (CR) + confirmed partial response (PR) based on independent radiologic review using modified RECIST (mRECIST) criteria as best overall response. Per mRECIST 1.1 criteria, complete response is defined as disappearance of all target lesions; partial response is defined as \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

The KIT Exon 11 Intent to Treat (ITT) Population is defined as all patients who are designated as having a mutation in KIT Exon 11 at the time of randomization. Patients in this population will be analyzed according to the treatment they were scheduled to receive.
