Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

Molecular Profile Indication/Tumor Type Response Type Therapy Name Approval Status Evidence Type Efficacy Evidence References
KIT positive germ cell cancer no benefit Imatinib Phase II Actionable In a small Phase II study, 6 patients with KIT-positive refractory germ cell tumors treated with Gleevec (imatinib) experienced no significant antitumor activity (PMID: 16462496). 16462496
KIT positive gastrointestinal stromal tumor sensitive Imatinib FDA approved Actionable In a Phase II trial that supported FDA approval, treatment with Gleevec (imatinib) resulted in an overall response rate of 38% (56/147) and a median duration of response of 13 weeks in patients with metastatic or unresectable KIT-positive GIST (PMID: 12374669). 12374669 detail...
KIT positive prostate neuroendocrine neoplasm no benefit Imatinib Preclinical Actionable In a preclinical study, a prostate neuroendocrine tumor mouse model expressing Kit did not respond to Gleevec (imatinib), a result of impaired signaling of the Kit pathway (PMID: 27980106). 27980106
KIT positive breast cancer predicted - sensitive Imatinib + Letrozole Phase 0 Actionable In a pilot trial, Gleevec (imatinib mesylate) and Femara (letrozole) combination treatment resulted in clinical partial response in 90% (9/10) and stable disease in 10% (1/10) of the evaluable patients with invasive hormone-sensitive breast cancer, 8 of the 13 enrolled patients had KIT-positive tumors (PMID: 18248884). 18248884
