New hope for GIST patients: could velzatinib outperform standard care?

NCT ID NCT07585266

First seen May 13, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026

Summary

This study compares a new drug, velzatinib, to the current standard treatment imatinib in people with advanced GIST that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. About 800 adults who have not had prior treatment for advanced GIST will be randomly assigned to receive either velzatinib or imatinib. The main goal is to see if velzatinib can delay tumor growth or death better than imatinib, while also checking safety and side effects.
