Protocol Title

A multicentre phase II study of risk evaluation in gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) with selective therapy escalation for response.

Purpose of the Study

The REGISTER study aimed to evaluate the time to ultimate disease progression in patients with exon 9/wild type (WT) gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) who were not suitable for surgery using a risk -stratification and sequential dose escalation strategy of imatinib followed by nilotinib, in comparison with historical controls.

Aim

To evaluate a risk-modified dose-escalation strategy for patients with advanced GIST based on their underlying KIT mutation status (high-risk: exon 9 / wild type (WT) vs low-risk: exon 11).
