Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Activating mutations of the kinases CKIT or PDGFRA can be detected in 90% of cases by DNA sequence analysis of a pathological specimen. These mutated genomic DNA fragments are highly specific for the tumor and are released by the tumor into the circulation. Allele-specific PCR can be used to specifically amplify and quantify mutated CKIT and PDGFR DNA fragments.

The current trial aims to evaluate whether tumor DNA carrying mutations for CKIT and PDGFRA can be detected and quantified in the plasma of patients with active GIST, and whether detection can be correlated with the clinical course of disease either under therapy or in progressive disease irrespective of current therapy.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Signed written informed consent
* Male or female patients aged \>= 18 years
* Histologically confirmed GIST
* Known activating mutation of CKIT or PDGFRA and tissue sample can be provided for central mutation analysis or mutation status unknown and tissue sample can be provided for central mutation analysis at baseline
* Routinely planned follow-up visits in no longer than three months intervals (+ 14 days) including local standard of care diagnostic imaging (CT, PET- CT, or MRI)
* At least one GIST lesion that can be measured by CT, PET-CT, or MRI
* Planned surgery of one or more disease manifestations or planned TKI treatment (such as imatinib or sunitinib) in neoadjuvant or palliative intention or disease progression irrespective of current/planned treatment
* Life expectancy of at least three months

Exclusion Criteria

* Wild type sequence for CKIT exon 9, 11, 13, 14, 17, 18 and PDGFRA exon 18
* Tissue sample can not be provided for central mutation analysis
* Surgery of primary or progressive lesions already completed and currently no evidence of progressive lesions
* Patients currently receiving adjuvant TKI treatment after surgery and no evidence of progressive lesions
* Patients currently receiving palliative TKI treatment and no evidence of progressive lesions
* Planned follow-up intervals including CT, PET-CT or MRI at more than three months intervals (+ 14 days)
* Coexisting medical condition or treatment that could interfere with the ability of the patient to comply with planned treatment interventions (surgery or TKI treatment) or regular follow-up visits
* Patients unwilling to or unable to comply with the planned therapeutic intervention (surgery or TKI treatment) or to comply with the regular follow-up visits including blood sample collection
* Pregnancy and lactation
