This study evaluates the combination of entacapone and imatinib in the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal Tumors who have progressed on the setting of at least Imatinib and Sunitinib. 5 participants will be included in this open-label observatory study.
The eligibility criteria are patients whose histologically confirmed disease which is currently metastatic/unresectable gastrointestinal stroma tumor (GIST) of c-KIT E11 mutation genotype. He received imatinib as the first-line treatment and no progression within the first 6 months (no primary resistance to imatinib), with disease progression following treatment with at least imatinib and sunitinib, and at least 1 measurable lesion (the longest diameter≥ 10mm). Age should be more or equal 18 years with adequate hematologic and end-organ function and good performance ((ECOG PS) ≤ 2, or 3 (the symptoms were definitely caused by GIST itself). This study is single group assignment and open label. The intervention/treatment is Entacapone combined with Imatinib. Entacapone began with 200mg tablet (Orion pharma, Switzerland) by mouth, three times a day and then escalated to final dose of 1.0 grams three times per day within one week, until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal of informed consent, whichever occurs first. Imatinib mesylate 400mg tablet by mouth, once a day until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal of informed consent, whichever occurs first. Periodically routine blood test including liver and kidney function, troponin and electrocardiogram were conducted throughout the entire clinical course. Clinic visits are performed at 16 points: visit 1, baseline, and then follow up after first dose as planned: 1st month, and every 2 months in the first year, followed by every 3 months until 3 years or 31 days after withdraw. The study design is visualized in Figure 1 below.
