Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm

As per GIST Support International, gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is rare cancer affecting the digestive tract or nearby structures within the abdomen. It is a sarcoma that arises either from cells called interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) or from less differentiated stem cells or precursor cells that can develop into ICCs.

GIST progression is driven by mutations in KIT or PDGFRA or by other rare gene alterations, all of which are mutually exclusive. It is known that the majority of tumors of GIST will have mutations in the KIT gene, and a minority, in the PDGFR gene.

Wild-type GIST do not have mutations of the KIT or PDGFR genes. Some of the cases of wild-type GIST have been linked to genes involved in the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) enzyme complex (i.e., SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, or SDHD genes). Additional genes have been linked to wild-type GIST, includes BRAF, KRAS, and NRAS mutations.

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) Diagnosis

A GIST diagnosis is typically made or ruled out based on a patient’s medical history, a comprehensive physical examination, and the results of a series of tests. The testing methods used to confirm or rule out a GIST can vary based on a patient’s symptoms and other individual factors.

After physical examination, CT scan (CAT scan), MRI, Endoscopic ultrasound and biopsy, Immunohistochemistry, Mitotic rate, PET scan can be performed to confirm the disease and its severity.

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) Treatment

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most frequent malignant mesenchymal tumors in the gastrointestinal tract. The initial work-up with endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography plays important roles in the differential diagnosis of GIST. Surgery is the only modality for the permanent cure of localized GISTs. In terms of safety and prognostic outcomes, laparoscopy is similar to laparotomy for GIST treatment, including tumors larger than 5 cm. GIST progression is driven by mutations in KIT or PDGFRA or by other rare gene alterations, all of which are mutually exclusive.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the standard therapy for metastatic/recurrent GIST. Molecular alterations are the most reliable biomarkers for TKIs and for other drugs, such as NTRK inhibitors. The pathological and genetic diagnosis prior to treatment has been challenging; however, a newly developed endoscopic device may be useful for diagnosis. In the era of precision medicine, cancer genome profiling by targeted gene panel analysis may enable potential targeted therapy even for GIST without KIT or PDGFRA mutations.

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) Epidemiology

The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by Total incident cases of GIST, Gender-specific Incident Cases of GIST, Age-specific Incident Cases of GIST, Incident Cases of GIST by Mutation, and Stage-specific Incident Cases of GIST in the 7MM covering the United States, EU5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and Japan from 2019 to 2032.

• The highest incident cases of GIST were accounted by the US in 2021 (6,035 cases), which are expected to show a steep rise soon due to the improvement in diagnostic testing and advancements in genetic testing and accounts for 42% of the total cases in the 7MM.
• In 2021, the age-specific incident cases of GIST accounted highest in the age group 66-80 years with 5,384 cases in the 7MM, followed by age group 51-65 years with 4,581 cases. While the least number of cases were seen in the age group 0-17 years.

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) Marketed Drugs

Gleevec/Glivec (Imatinib Mesylate): Novartis

Gleevec is a kinase inhibitor indicated for treating patients with Kit (CD117) positive unresectable and/or metastatic malignant GIST. It is also used as adjuvant treatment of adult patients following complete gross resection of Kit (CD117) positive GIST.

In addition, it is used for the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative diseases (MDS/MPD) associated with PDGFR (platelet-derived growth factor receptor) gene rearrangement, and adult patients with unresectable, recurrent and/or metastatic dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP)

Qinlock (Ripretinib): Deciphera Pharmaceuticals

Qinlock (Ripretinib) is an orally administered switch-control kinase inhibitor engineered using a proprietary drug discovery platform and developed for the treatment of GIST. While approved kinase inhibitors control certain initiating and drug resistance-causing mutations in KIT and PDGFRA, the kinases that drive disease progression in most GIST patients, these approved drugs fail to inhibit all known mutations. Qinlock improves the treatment of GIST patients by inhibiting the full spectrum of the known mutations in KIT and PDGFRA. It is a KIT and PDGFRA switch-control kinase inhibitor that blocks initiating and resistance KIT mutations in exons 9, 11, 13, 14, 17, and 18 known to be present in GIST patients.

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) Market Outlook

Knowledge about the underlying genetic alterations revealed possible targeted treatment with TKIs such as imatinib and sunitinib. Continuous research efforts helped to further elucidate molecular insights of this disease and allowed the development of new treatment options based on the underlying molecular signature. Currently, there are seven therapies approved for GIST that includes five TKIs, and two NTRK inhibitors such as Gleevec (Imatinib Mesylate), Stivarga (Regorafenib), Sutent (sunitinib malate), Ayvakit (avapritinib), Qinlock (Ripretinib), Rozlytrek (Entrectinib), and Vitrakvi (Larotrectinib), approved in different lines. Along with these, there are certain therapies being used as off-label therapies in patients resistant to approved therapies.

Targeted therapy with imatinib, an oral, small molecule, selective tyrosine-kinase inhibitor of KIT, PDGFRA, and ABL that was approved for first-line treatment for advanced GIST in 2002, for adjuvant treatment in high-risk patients in 2008, and for use in adult patients following surgical removal of CD117-positive GIST in 2012 by USFDA (the United States Food and Drug Administration), in 2001 by EMA (European Medicines Agency), and 2003 by PMDA (Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency), revolutionized treatment for GIST. Though the management of GIST was transformed after the arrival of imatinib which became the standard first-line treatment for metastatic GIST. On the other hand, despite a clinical benefit rate of 80%, half of those having a clinical benefit eventually progress after 2 years of therapy due to acquired imatinib resistance.
