Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Objectives:
1. To describe variation in management of patients with GIST, overall and by patient and provider characteristics.
2. To provide participating physicians with information regarding management of their patients with GIST compared to the aggregate experience of all physicians participating in the Registry.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
If you agree to participate in this study, your doctor will provide information to a data registry about your physical and clinical traits, the past and current medical care you have received to treat your GIST, and clinically-related, economically-related, and health-related quality of life information. About 200 doctors will provide information on their patients for the Registry. Your doctor will collect this information when you first join the Registry and at each regularly scheduled visit you make to your doctor's office. The information collection will continue for as long as you and your doctor feel it is appropriate. The information that is entered into the Registry will remain there indefinitely. It is hoped that this sharing of information will lead to a better understanding of how to best treat patients with GIST.
You and your doctor will decide what treatment you will receive. Because this Registry is only to observe actual medical practice, it does not require you to receive any particular treatment.
Only your doctor and people who will help your doctor collect the information for this Registry will know which information submitted to the Registry belongs to you. Data will be tracked in the Registry using only ID numbers and patient initials. The information submitted on the Registry data collection forms will not be associated with a specific patient's identity. Separately, you will be asked to provide your name, place of birth, and Social Security number. This information will not be entered into the Registry databases and will only be used if it is necessary to perform a search should you become lost to follow up. If you do not want to provide your Social Security number you may still be enrolled in the Registry.
This is an investigational study. About 100 patients from M. D. Anderson will be entered into the Registry. In all, about 1800 patients will be registered. The Registry will be active for at least 7 years.
