WHAT is the key question that this trial is attempting to answer? |
This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of DCC-2618 in patients with advanced GIST who have been treated with other anticancer therapies – incl. imatinib, sunitinib, regorafenib – before. DCC-2618 is a so-called KIT and PDGFRa kinase switch control inhibitor. In pre-clinical studies, it has shown activity against all known initiation and resistance KIT mutations. This clinical trial tries to confirm this in clinical practice. |
WHY patients might want to participate? |
This clinical trial offers patients an opportunity to access a new therapy strategy and will further support the research in GIST and potentially help other patients with this disease.

STUDY DESIGN: What does the study look like? |
There will be 2 study arms (groups): all participating patients will be randomly divided (by a computer) in two groups. Two thirds of the patients will be assigned to DCC-2618, the other group (one third of the patients) will receive placebo. Patients, who might progress on placebo can receive/cross-over to the DCC-2618 arm.
