Significant Unmet Need Remains for Patients with Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) • Up to 6,000 GIST cases diagnosed annually in US, over 80% 1,2 of which express KIT mutations, typically exons 11 and 9. • Tumors can start anywhere in the GI tract, but they occur 3 Symptoms most often in the stomach (about 60%) or the small Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting, 1 intestine (about 35%). Abdominal pain, Bloating, Gastroesophageal reflux • While imatinib provides disease control in the majority of disease, GI bleeding, Loss of patients in the 1L setting, ~60% of patients with GIST appetite, Weight loss develop resistance within 2 years, primarily due to 1,2 mutations in exon 13/14 and/or exon 17/18. • Additional FDA-approved sequential lines of therapy include sunitinib, regorafenib, and ripretinib; however, each is only effective against a subset of resistance mutations and disease progression results from clonal heterogeneity. 1 Key statistics for gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
