Project description:RATIONALE: Surgery may remove residual disease in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor that is responding to imatinib mesylate. It is not yet known whether surgery is more effective than continued imatinib mesylate in treating patients with metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving imatinib mesylate therapy together with surgery to see how well it works compared with imatinib mesylate alone in treating patients with metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor that is responding to imatinib mesylate.
Project description:To reveal mechanisms for acquired imatinib resistance in gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), we have analyzed several cell lines with resistance to imatinib.
Project description:Gene expression profiling using oligonucleotide microarrays performed on tumor samples obtained before and after imatinib mesylate (IM) therapy. Rapid responding (to IM) samples were compared to non-responding/stable disease samples as measured by CT scan measurements to identify a gene signature that can predict rapid response to IM. Experiment Overall Design: 54 samples, 29 pre-treatment biopsy samples, 25 post-treatment/post-surgery tumor samples from Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
Project description:To evaluate the antitumor activity of SU011248 in advanced, imatinib mesylate-resistant gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) when administered on a continuous daily dosing schedule
