Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?This is a 2-arm, randomized, open-label, international, multicenter study comparing the efficacy of ripretinib to sunitinib in GIST patients who progressed on or were intolerant to first-line anticancer treatment with imatinib. Approximately 426 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to ripretinib 150 mg once daily (continuous dosing for 6 week cycles) or sunitinib 50 mg once daily (6 week cycles, 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off).

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for adults over 18 with Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) who've had issues with the first-line treatment, imatinib. They need a confirmed diagnosis and must provide tissue samples for testing. Participants should be relatively fit (ECOG PS ≤2), not pregnant, willing to use contraception, have at least one measurable tumor lesion, and stable organ function.

Inclusion Criteria

If you can have children, you must agree to use birth control as detailed in the study rules.

I am 18 years old or older.

Participant Groups
