Summary

"This trial is testing how effective sunitinib is in treating cancer patients with specific genetic changes. Sunitinib is a type of medication that blocks mutated genes in cancer cells from multiplying, which

Who is the study for?

This trial is for cancer patients with a specific genetic change in the cKIT gene. It's open to those with lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or solid tumors who meet certain health standards. People are excluded if they don't have the cKIT mutation or if their health conditions make it unsafe to participate.

What is being tested?

The trial is testing Sunitinib, a kinase inhibitor medication that targets cancers with cKIT mutations. Patients will undergo various assessments including biopsies and imaging tests like MRI and CT scans to see how well the treatment works.

What are the potential side effects?

Sunitinib may cause side effects such as fatigue, nausea, mouth sores, high blood pressure, bleeding events, skin problems and can affect heart function which might be monitored through echocardiography.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Treatment (sunitinib)Experimental Treatment7 Interventions

Patients receive sunitinib PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 42 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo CT or MRI during screening and on study, as well as during follow-up as clinically necessary. Patients also undergo ECHO or nuclear study throughout the trial as clinically necessary. Patients undergo biopsies and blood sample collection on study.
