New hope for GIST: experimental combo targets hard-to-treat tumors

NCT ID NCT07406633

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding an experimental drug (KQB198) to the standard cancer pill imatinib can shrink or control advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). About 46 adults with a specific gene mutation (KIT or PDGFRA) will receive the combination. The goal is to see if the combo is safe and works better than imatinib alone.
