Summary

This study tests a new two-drug combination (MEK162 plus imatinib) for people with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), a rare stomach or intestinal cancer. The goal is to find the safest dose and see if the combo shrinks tumors better than standard treatment. The study includes 75 adults whose cancer has either not been treated before or has stopped responding to imatinib alone.
