New hope for Tough-to-Treat gut cancer: experimental drug takes on standard therapy
NCT ID NCT07218926
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new drug, IDRX-42, against the current standard drug sunitinib in adults with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) that have spread or can't be removed by surgery and have already been treated with imatinib. About 450 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either IDRX-42 or sunitinib to see which better delays cancer growth and improves survival. The study is open-label, meaning both doctors and patients know which treatment is given.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed GIST that is metastatic and/or surgically unresectable. * Documented disease progression on or intolerance to imatinib administered for first-line treatment of unresectable/metastatic disease. * Documented mutation status of KIT and/or PDGFRA using a tissue based next-generation sequencing or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. * Tumor tissue must be available for retrospective biomarker analysis. Sample may be archival or new biopsy. Exclusion Criteria: * GIST that is both KIT and PDGFRA wild-type or known to harbor an activating PDGFRA exon 18 mutation. * Known untreated or active central nervous system metastases. * Participants with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any component of IDRX-42 (GSK6042981) or sunitinib. Participants with a history of Stevens-Johnson syndrome on a prior Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) are excluded. * Has a malignancy (except disease under study) that has progressed or required active treatment within the past 24 months except for basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas of the skin or in-situ carcinomas (e.g., breast, cervix, bladder) that have been resected with no evidence of metastatic disease.
