Description
Primary tumor genotyping of 89 patients with metastatic GIST given 2nd-line sunitinib treatment after prior imatinib therapy failure, revealed an improved response to sunitinib in patients with KIT exon 9 mutations or with wild-type KIT compared those with KIT exon 11 or PDGFRA mutations. 1-year progression free survival rates for exon 9 mutants and wild type were 68% and 57%, compared with 34% and 15% for exon 11 and PDGFRA mutants.
