Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Histologically confirmed GIST expressing CD117+, or with documented mutation of the KIT or PDGFRA gene
2. Metastatic disease (liver and/or abdominal cavity); no extra-abdominal metastases
3. Treatment with imatinib administered for 6 - 12 months, resulting in complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR) or stable disease (SD), without progressive disease (PD) since the start of imatinib therapy (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours [RECIST])
4. Measurable disease (RECIST) before start of imatinib
5. Surgically resectable residual disease (assessed on computed tomography [CT] scan/magnetic resonance imaging [MRI])
6. Aged greater than or equal to 18 years (either sex)
7. World Health Organization (WHO) performance status 0 to 1
8. Adequate haematological and organ function

Exclusion criteria: No prior treatment with imatinib or other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (for any reason) in the adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting

Age minimum:
Age maximum:
Gender: Both
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Topic: National Cancer Research Network; Subtopic: Sarcoma; Disease: Soft Tissue
Cancer
Gastro-intestinal stromal tumour
Intervention(s)
Eligible patients will be randomised after 6 to 12 months from starting imatinib for metastatic disease, to surgery of residual disease (investigational arm) or not. Patients allocated to the investigational arm will be operated within the 12th month from imatinib onset. Post-operative imatinib treatment will be restored as soon as possible after surgery. Patients allocated to the standard arm will continue imatinib treatment according to standard practice. In both arms, patients will be followed for disease progression and/or discontinuation of imatinib therapy whenever that may be. Thereafter, patients will be followed for survival.
Primary Outcome(s)
Progression free survival (PFS), measured from the date of randomisation for surgery
Secondary Outcome(s)
Overall survival (OS) from the time of randomisation to death
Secondary ID(s)
