Abstract Text

The purpose of this study is to evaluate ponatinib for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST).This single-arm phase II trial enrolled patients with metastatic and/or unresectable GIST with failure of prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment into two cohorts based on presence or absence of KIT exon 11 (ex11) primary mutations. Patients initially received ponatinib 45 mg once daily. Following a temporary clinical hold in October 2013, dose reductions were implemented to reduce risk of arterial occlusive events (AOE). Primary endpoint was 16-week clinical benefit rate (CBR) in KIT ex11-positive cohort. KIT mutations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) were assessed.Forty-five patients enrolled (30 KIT ex11-positive and 15 KIT ex11-negative); median follow-up was 14.7 and 13.6 months, respectively, as of August 1, 2016. Sixteen-week CBR was 36% (KIT ex11-positive; primary endpoint) and 20% (KIT ex11-negative). ctDNA analyses (n = 37) demonstrated strong concordance of primary KIT mutations between plasma and tumor. At least two secondary mutations were detected in 35% of patients overall and 54% of KIT ex11-positive patients. Changes from baseline in mutated ctDNA levels were consistent with clinical activity. Ponatinib was ineffective in patients with KIT exon 9 primary mutations. Resistance was associated with emergence of V654A. AOEs and venous thromboembolic events occurred in three and two patients, respectively. Six patients died; two deaths (pneumonia and pulmonary embolism) were considered possibly ponatinib-related.Ponatinib demonstrated activity in advanced GIST, particularly in KIT ex11-positive disease. ctDNA analysis confirmed heterogeneous resistance mutations in TKI-pretreated advanced GIST. Safety was consistent with previous studies.

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.

KIT	N822D	missense	unknown	KIT N822D lies within the protein kinase domain of the Kit protein (UniProt.org). N822D has been identified in the scientific literature (PMID: 35091442, PMID: 18294292), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Kit protein function is unknown (PubMed, Nov 2024).

KIT exon9	gastrointestinal stromal tumor	no benefit	Ponatinib	Phase II	Actionable	In a Phase II trial, Iclusig (ponatinib) treatment did not result in clinical benefit in gastrointestinal stromal tumor patients with KIT exon 9 mutations who had failed prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment (PMID: 35091442; NCT01874665).	35091442
