Study of AMN107 With Imatinib in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) - Full Text View

Sponsored by:	Novartis
Information provided by:	Novartis
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00135005

Purpose

This study is an open-label, multicenter, Phase I dose-escalation study of the combination of AMN107 and imatinib (STI571) in patients with imatinib-resistant GIST. This study is designed to determine the Phase II dose of AMN107 and imatinib when administered together in patients with imatinib-resistant GIST, and to characterize the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of this combination.

Further study details as provided by Novartis:

Primary Outcome Measures:

To determine the MTD which will be the Phase II dose of AMN107 when given in combination with Imatinib. The MTD is defined to be the highest dose of AMN107 in combination with Imatinib given for at least 21 days in the first treatment cycle

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To characterize safety and tolerability of AMN107 in combination with Imatinib in GIST
patients showing progression of disease on Imatinib. The patient will be followed-up for at least 4 cycles (28 days for one cycle)

Estimated Enrollment:	60
Study Start Date:	August 2005

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).
Patients who have had disease progression during imatinib therapy with 800 mg.
Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients with prior or concomitant malignancies other than GIST with the exception of previous or concomitant basal cell skin cancer or previous cervical carcinoma in situ.
A history of impaired cardiac function or uncontrolled cardiovascular disease.
Severe and/or uncontrolled concurrent disease that could cause unacceptable safety risks such as impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of AMN107.
