Trials for GIST Cancer
Current clinical trials for GIST (gastrointestinal stromal tumor) are linkable entries in the list below.
Maps of Trial Locations
When you click this link you will see a world map of GIST cancer trials at the clinicaltrials.gov website. In countries where there are trials you will see a small white block with a black number indicating how many trials are open there. Click the black number to zoom in on the geographic area of your choice. For example, if you click on the USA or Europe, another map will open showing trials in each state or country. Click again on the state or country of your choice to see which trials are available there. NOTE that some trials listed in the table below will NOT appear on this map if GIST is not specifically listed in the trial protocol; for example, trials for any solid tumor may not appear.
Trials by Drug Target
Clinical trials for GIST cancer are listed below according to the class of drug being tested (the target of the drug). For each drug listed under each category, click “Trials at clinicaltrials.gov” to see the open trials relevant to GIST patients at the website www.clinicaltrials.gov.
NOTE: Drugs that are already FDA-approved for other cancers may be prescribed at the discretion of a physician outside of a clinical trial. These drugs are indicated in the list below by “brand name” following the chemical name.
