Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are mostly driven by c-kit or PDGFRA mutations, and commonly occur in the stomach and small intestine. Targeted therapy is the mainstay for advanced metastatic GISTs, but there is a lack of effective regimens after drug resistance. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have limited efficacy as monotherapy, while tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) drugs such as regorafenib can improve the immune microenvironment and exert a synergistic effect when combined with ICIs, with more significant efficacy especially in cases with kit exon 17 mutations. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of regorafenib combined with envafolimab in metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors with kit exon 17 mutations that have failed standard treatment.
This is a multicenter, prospective phase II clinical study aiming to explore the efficacy and safety of regorafenib combined with envafolimab in metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) with KIT exon 17 mutations that have failed standard treatment, as well as to investigate the correlation between the immune microenvironment and the efficacy of immunotherapy. The study will enroll patients with histologically confirmed advanced metastatic GIST harboring KIT exon 17 mutations, with at least one evaluable lesion. Patients will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio into two groups: the experimental group will receive regorafenib combined with envafolimab (regorafenib at a recommended dose of 120 mg orally once daily, administered for 3 weeks followed by 1 week off; envafolimab 200 mg subcutaneously injected once every 2 weeks); the control group will receive either re-challenge with one previously effective targeted agent or combination therapy with two agents selected based on the clinician's experience. Treatment will continue until disease progression, occurrence of intolerable toxicity, or voluntary withdrawal of the patient from the trial. A total of 100 patients are planned to be enrolled. Enrolled patients will undergo imaging assessments at baseline and every 2 months during treatment.
