Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Imatinib Mesylate in Patients With Unresectable or Metastatic Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors Expressing C-kit Gene (NCT NCT00237185)

NCT ID: NCT00237185

Last Updated: 2014-08-19

Results Overview

Best tumor response was based on the Southwestern Oncology Group (SWOG) criteria. Objective tumor response assessments were categorized according to the following criteria: complete response (CR), partial response (PR), no change or stable disease (SD), progression of disease (PD), unknown where the progression has not been documented and one or more measurable or evaluable sites have not been assessed (UNK), status after resection for progression (RP), status after resection for safety (RS), status after preventive resection (RPR), progressive after first resection (PDR) and not evaluable. Any tumor assessment after surgical resection for preventative reasons was treated like tumor assessments of UNK for calculation of best response. Tumor assessments with current objective status = RP, RS or PDR were treated like assessments with objective tumor status = PD n the calculation of best response.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Month 36

Population: Treatment population: The treatment population included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study medication.

Best tumor response was based on the Southwestern Oncology Group (SWOG) criteria. Objective tumor response assessments were categorized according to the following criteria: complete response (CR), partial response (PR), no change or stable disease (SD), progression of disease (PD), unknown where the progression has not been documented and one or more measurable or evaluable sites have not been assessed (UNK), status after resection for progression (RP), status after resection for safety (RS), status after preventive resection (RPR), progressive after first resection (PDR) and not evaluable. Any tumor assessment after surgical resection for preventative reasons was treated like tumor assessments of UNK for calculation of best response. Tumor assessments with current objective status = RP, RS or PDR were treated like assessments with objective tumor status = PD n the calculation of best response.
