Description
147 patients with advanced, unresectable GISTs were enrolled onto a randomized, phase II clinical study of imatinib (CSTI571-B2222). Specimens from 43 pretreatment and/or imatinib-resistant tumors were analyzed to identify molecular correlates of imatinib resistance. T670I was observed as a secondary KIT mutation in one patient with secondary imatinib resistance. The mutation was shown to occur at a hotspot (T670) of previously reported secondary KIT mutations in imatinib resistant GISTs. When co-expressed with V560D (imatinib sensitive) in vitro T670I showed "extreme" imatinib resistance. It also showed resistance in isolation.
