ABSTRACT: Purpose
Most gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) have activating mutations of KIT, PDGFRA, or uncommonly BRAF. Fifteen percent of adult and 85% of pediatric GISTs are wild type (WT), commonly having high expression of IGF-1R and loss of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) complex function. We tested the efficacy of linsitinib, an oral TKI IGF-1R inhibitor, in patients with WT GIST.Patients and methods
A multicenter phase II trial of linsitinib was conducted. The primary endpoint was objective response rate. Secondary endpoints were clinical benefit rate: complete response, partial response, and stable disease (SD) ≥ 9 months, and quantitative 2[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) metabolic response (MR) at week 8. Serum levels for glucose, insulin, IGF-1R ligand I
