Summary

This study tested a combination of two drugs, avelumab and axitinib, in 58 adults with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) that had worsened after standard treatments like imatinib and sunitinib. The goal was to see if the combination could stop or slow cancer growth for at least 3 months. The approach uses immunotherapy and a targeted drug to control the disease, not cure it.
