About this study

Official title: An Open-label Trial of Glivec in Patients With Unresectable or Metastatic Malignant Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors Expressing C-kit.

The rationale is to assess the clinical and biological activity of Imatinib and to compare the data with historic data.

Additionally this study has been designed to gain more experience with the treatment of GIST in several Central and Eastern European Countries.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter open label clinical trial to be performed in patients with incurable malignant GISTs that are unresectable or metastatic. Approximately 150 patients will enter the trial.

Patients will receive Imatinib 400 mg p.o./day for a period of up to 24 months provided that in the opinion of the investigator the patient is benefiting from treatment with Imatinib, and in the absence of any safety concerns.

Treatment after completion of the 24 months study is at the discretion of the investigator. Imatinib should be increased to 600 mg p.o./day and then to 400 mg b.i.d if the patient is progressing on the respective dose level.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • GlivecDrug

    400mg p.o./day in a population of patients with locally advanced (=not amenable to surgery with curative intent) or metastatic malignant GIST. Glivec® may be increased to 600 mg p.o./day and then 800 mg p.o./day (400 mg b.i.d.) if the patient is progressing

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Glivec in people with Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors, run by Central European Cooperative Oncology Group at 16 sites in 10 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Czechia, Austria and 5 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to Disease Progression (time frame: until PD). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Aug 2015.
