Study Summary

This is a 2-arm, randomized, open-label, international, multicenter study comparing the efficacy of ripretinib to sunitinib in GIST patients who progressed on or were intolerant to first-line anticancer treatment with imatinib. Approximately 426 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to ripretinib 150 mg once daily (continuous dosing for 6 week cycles) or sunitinib 50 mg once daily (6 week cycles, 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off).

Primary Outcome

PFS is defined as the interval between the date of randomization and the earliest documented evidence of disease progression based on the independent radiologic review using modified RECIST Version 1.1-(mRECIST 1.1) GIST specific, or death due to any cause. Per mRECIST 1.1, progression was defined using mRECIST 1.1 as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.
