Official title
A Phase 2 Study of Imatinib Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor
Overview
Imatinib can lead to long recurrence free survival in patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST); however side effects can significantly hinder quality of life for our patients. This study will use therapeutic drug monitoring to improve quality of life and symptoms and assess how many patients maintain therapeutic levels. Free drug levels and pharmokinetics of imatinib will also be monitored.
Interventions
- Drug Imatinib
Therapeutic drug level monitoring with plans to increase to adjust drug dosage based on levels and patient symptoms.
Primary outcome measures
- Incidence of Grade 3/4 adverse events attributable to imatinib per CTCAE v5.0 [Time frame: 6 months]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Percent of patients achieving therapeutic levels of imatinib. [Time frame: 6 months]
- Quality of Life based on the EORTC QLQ-C30 [Time frame: 6 months]
- Average dose of imatinib required to achieve therapeutic levels and drug dose over 3 years [Time frame: 3 year]
Eligibility criteria

- Prior systemic chemotherapy for other malignancy is allowed as long as it was completed within the past 6 months and there is no evidence of disease
- Age ≥18 years
- ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
