Maintenance of Imatinib at the last dose routinely taken by the patient in the 3 years period prior to randomization (either 300 or 400 mg/day). Increase dose up to 800 mg/day if relapse according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. Any relapse/progressive disease at 800 mg/day will lead to Imatinib permanent discontinuation and study discontinuation. In case of toxicity, Imatinib dose will be interrupted or adjusted in accordance with Imatinib Specific Product Characteristics (SPC).

Treatment corresponding to standard practice : interruption of Imatinib from the day of randomization. Reintroduction of Imatinib at 400 mg/day after first relapse according to RECIST 1.1 criteria; Then increase dose to 800 mg/day after 2d relapse. Any relapse/progressive disease at 800 mg/day will lead to Imatinib permanent discontinuation and study discontinuation. In case of toxicity, Imatinib dose will be interrupted or adjusted in accordance with Imatinib SPC.

Either 300 or 400 mg/day in accordance with the last dose routinely taken by the patient in the 3-year period before randomization. The treatment will be orally taken at time of meal with a large glass of water

Imatinib maintenance

Jean-Yves Blay, Pr

This is a 2 arms study concerning patients with primary GIST who followed an Imatinib adjuvant treatment for 3 years after surgery and who have a high risk of recurrence.

In the first arm, patients will continue Imatinib treatment for 3 more years, allowing to determine if the continuation of this treatment is efficient for disease control, in terms of Disease Free Survival improvement.

In the second arm, patients will discontinue the Imatinib treatment, as standard practice. This arm will allow to determine if the re-introduction of Imatinib at relapse is still an efficient treatment for the control of disease.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms, mostly diagnosed between 55 and 60 years of age, which account for 5% of all sarcomas. Worldwide annual incidence is approximately 12 cases per million people, corresponding to approximately 800 new cases per year in France.

A large majority of GISTs harbour activating mutations in the proto-oncogenes KIT and/or PDGFRA, both coding cell-surface cytokine receptors with tyrosine-protein kinase activity.

Imatinib mesilate (Glivec®, Novartis Pharma SAS) is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor, leading to inhibition of KIT and PDGFRA signalling pathways. The introduction of imatinib has revolutionised the therapeutic management of GIST patients and has provided an unprecedented demonstration of the clinical benefit of a targeted therapy for patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors. First results from prospective trials conducted with imatinib in GIST patients have demonstrated a 300% increase in median overall survival, and a likely 100% increase in 5 and 10-year survival as compared to cytotoxic chemotherapy.

The successful use of imatinib in the treatment of advanced GISTs and the significant risk of recurrence of advanced GISTs have prompted the investigation of the clinical benefit of imatinib as a post-operative adjuvant therapy. Two prospective randomized Phase III trials have demonstrated that adjuvant imatinib treatment significantly prolong overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) when given for 3 years. To date, imatinib is also indicated in the adjuvant setting after complete resection of primary, localized, KIT-positive GIST at high risk of recurrence. However, the optimal treatment duration remains unclear and it should be determined whether

1. prolonged use of adjuvant imatinib beyond 3 years may enable to reduce the risk of GIST recurrence and to improve overall survival, and
2. imatinib rechallenge is efficient for treating recurrence after completion of 3-year adjuvant imatinib therapy.

This trial is an open-label, randomized, multicenter phase III study aiming to determine the clinical impact of maintaining imatinib treatment beyond 3 years in the adjuvant setting for patients with resected GISTs at high risk of recurrence according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Task Force on GIST (NCCN) risk classification.

Efficiency of Imatinib Treatment Maintenance or Interruption After 3 Years of Adjuvant Treatment in Patients With Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours (GIST)

A Randomized Multicenter Phase III Trial Evaluating the Interest of Imatinib Treatment Maintenance or Interruption After 3 Years of Adjuvant Treatment in Patients With Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours (GIST)

Time from the date of randomisation to the first documented relapse or death due to any cause. Patients with no event at the time of analysis will be censored at the date of the last adequate tumour assessment. The results will be analyzed according to the study arm and randomization strata to wich patients were assigned.

Time from the date of randomization until the date of death due to any cause and censored at the date of last contact for patients alive at last contact. The results will be analyzed according to the study arm and randomization strata to wich patients were assigned.

Time from the date of randomization until the date of first relapse under Imatinib treatment (i.e first relapse in the "Imatinib maintenance arm" and relapse after reintroduction of Imatinib in the "Interruption of Imatinib arm"). The results will be analyzed according to the study arm and randomization strata to wich patients were assigned.

Percentage of patients in Complete Response (CR) after reintroduction of Imatinib treatment for patients assigned to the interruption arm and who experience GIST recurrence. CR is assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria

The assessment of safety will be based mainly on the frequency of AE based on the Common Toxicity Criteria version 4 grade. AE will be coded according to the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). Descriptive statistics will be provided for characterizing and assessing patient tolerance to treatment. Patients with at least either one serious AE, or one grade 3-4, or one AE requiring the interruption of study treatment, will be described by study arm and compared using a Pearson's Chi2 test or a Fisher's exact test, if adequate. Patients will be analyzed according the duration of exposure to imatinib

QoL will be assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30). Descriptive statistics (e.g. means and medians) will be used to summarize the scored scales at it scheduled assessment time point of the questionnaire. The distribution of time to definitive health-related QoL deterioration by study arms will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The time to definitive deterioration is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of event, wich is defined as \> 10 points decrease from baseline of QLQ-C30 global score (items 29 and 30) or death due to any cause. If patient has not had an event, time to QoL deterioration will be censored at the date of last adequate evaluation.

Sebastian Bauer, Prof. Dr.

This is a non-randomized, open-label, multicenter phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ponatinib in patients with metastatic and/or unresectable GIST after prior failure or intolerability of imatinib. Patients will be enrolled into 1 of 2 cohorts based on absence (Cohort A) or presence (Cohort B) of KIT exon 13 resistance mutations as measured by liquid biopsy. A third cohort (Cohort C) will include patients who have received all approved lines of TKI treatments (imatinib, sunitinib and regorafenib).

Primary Objective

* To assess clinical benefit of ponatinib in patients with KIT or PDGFRA mutant GIST defined as clinical benefit rate (CBR), which is the composite of complete response (CR), partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD) at ≥16 weeks after start of treatment per modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (modified RECIST 1.1 \[Demetri et al., 2013\]) as a measure of disease control
* Two cohorts for second-line patients will be used: Cohort A: patients with secondary resistance mutations in other exons or no resistance mutations (as measured by liquid biopsy in circulating DNA); Cohort B: patients with evidence of secondary resistance mutations in exon 13 as assessed on progressing lesions or in circulating DNA
* One additional Cohort (Cohort C) will include heavily pretreated patients (failure of at least all approved lines of therapy) regardless of secondary mutation Secondary Objectives
* To assess progression-free survival (PFS) in each cohort and in the total patient population
* To assess objective response rate (ORR) in each cohort and in the total patient population
* To assess overall survival (OS) in each cohort and in the total patient population
* To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ponatinib in the total patient population
* To assess Quality of Life (QoL) Exploratory Objectives
* To assess limited elements of pharmacokinetics (PK) in the total patient population
* To explore the relationship between GIST genotype and CBR with ponatinib
* To explore the feasibility of detecting mutations in KIT and possibly other cancer-related genes using circulating nucleic acids derived from blood samples
* To explore the usefulness of "liquid biopsies" to predict treatment response and development of resistance
* To assess duration of follow-up treatment

Primary Endpoint

* CBR consisting of CR+PR+SD by modified RECIST 1.1 (Demetri et al., 2013) at 16 weeks in patients with imatinib-resistant GIST (KIT-mutant) with other or no resistance mutations (Cohort A) and secondary resistance mutation in exon 13 (Cohort B) Secondary Endpoints
* PFS in each cohort and in the total patient population
* ORR (CR + PR) in each cohort and in the total patient population
* OS in each cohort and in the total patient population
* Safety and tolerability of ponatinib
* QoL
* CBR of Cohort C Exploratory Endpoints
* Correlation of plasma levels of ponatinib and response
* Molecular genetic features of GIST at baseline and after treatment with ponatinib
* Correlation of tumor DNA from available paraffin tissue with genotypes of plasma sequencing ("liquid biopsies") and correlation of plasma genotype with treatment response, resistance and duration of follow-up treatment
