KIT N655K | gastrointestinal stromal tumor | predicted - sensitive | Imatinib | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a clinical case study, a patient with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) harboring a germline KIT N655K mutation, associated with hereditary GIST syndrome, demonstrated slow disease progression for 12 months while on treatment with Gleevec (imatinib) at 400mg/d, and upon disease progression following surgery and 15 months of Sutent (sunitinib) treatment, was rechallenged with Gleevec (imatinib) at 800mg/d and remained stable for a further 9 months (PMID: 33212994). | 33212994 |
