  1. Neoadjuvant Imatinib, Surgery and then ? Frits van Coevorden1, Koert Kuhlmann1, J.Martijn Kerst2and Annemieke Cats2 Department of Surgery1 and Medical Oncology2 Netherlands Cancer Institute - Antoni van Leeuwenhoek ziekenhuis Amsterdam The Netherlands

  2. Imatinib has a well established role in metastatic GIST • Studies on Adjuvant Imatinib after surgery are ongoing • ACOSOG Adjuvant Trial • primary endpoint: RFS • Early interim results presented in May 2007 • Scandinavian Sarcoma Group Adjuvant Study • primary endpoint: RFS • EORTC Adjuvant Trial GIST(62024) • primary endpoint : Overall Survival

  3. Imatinib has a well established role in metastatic GIST • Studies on Adjuvant Imatinib after surgery are ongoing • the role of surgery after initial treatment with Imatinib for locally advanced or metastatic GIST is evolving

  4. Surgical strategy in metastatic GIST • Remove resectable metastasis(es) (for cure ?)

  5. Surgical strategy in metastatic GIST • Remove resectable metastasis(es) (for cure ?) • Perform surgical (long term) palliation • residual disease after Imatinib • focal active disease under Imatinib • salvage in widely active residual disease ?

  6. When Neoadjuvant Imatinib ? • Locally advanced tumor (Large Size) • (unclear) Involvement of surrounding organs • Primary resection expected to be a R1 resection • Primary resectable but also very restricted metastatic disease ?

  7. Several papers have dealt with the role of surgery after initial treatment with Imatinib . Raut et al 2006 . Rutkowski et al 2006 . Bonvalot et al 2006 . Gronchi et al 2007 . DeMatteo et al 2007

  10. Case history Neoadjuvant Imatinib, 60 yr female Locally advanced GIST stomach: start Imatinib feb 2006Result after 8 months

  11. Surgery 8 months after start ImatinibR0 resection Partial gastrectomy (greater curvature)

  12. Neoadjuvant Imatinib, Surgery and then ? What is the role of Imatinib after resection ? Nobody knows or at least unclear • NKI AvL protocol • Complete resection (R0): Stop Imatinib • Resection dubious • Resection incomplete (R1) Continue Imatinib • or metastases }

  13. Gist database in theNKI-AVL • all GIST patients seen in the period 2000-2007 • 119 patients • 15 second opinion only • 6 incidentalomas and/or missing data • 98 evaluable patients56 males, 42 females

  14. from date of diagnosis Overall survival all evaluable patients

  15. 98 evaluable patients • 23Surgery, no Imatinib in follow up • 7 of them in 62024, 6 refused 62024 • 5 Surgery with adjuvant Imatinib in 62024

  16. 98 evaluable patients • 23 Surgery, no Imatinib in follow up • 7 of them in 62024, 6 refused 62024 • 5 Surgery with adjuvant Imatinib in 62024 • 33 Imatinib for LocAdv/Meta-GIST, no secondary surgery

  17. 98 evaluable patients • 23 Surgery, no Imatinib in follow up • 7 of them in 62024, 6 refused 62024 • 5 Surgery with adjuvant Imatinib in 62024 • 33 Imatinib for LA/Met GIST, no secondary surgery • 21 Neoadjuvant Imatinib, followed by surgery • 16 Surgery after Imatinib, on other indications • Debulking at max response, salvage (focal) progressive disease, bleeding

  18. from date of diagnosis Survival all groups

  19. 21 Neoadjuvant Imatinib 400 mg, followed by surgery • Stomach: 15 Small bowel: 5 Rectum: 1 • Median size: 14 cm

  20. 21 Neoadjuvant Imatinib 400 mg, followed by surgery • Stomach: 16 Small bowel: 4 Rectum: 1 • Median size: 14 cm • 13 locally advanced but non metastatic disease • 8 locally advanced with (suspicion of) limited metastases • 2 hepatic mets 6 peritoneal mets

  21. 21 Neoadjuvant Imatinib 400 mg • RECIST based response: 15 PR 6 SD • CHOI based response: 16 PR 5 SD

  22. 21 Neoadjuvant Imatinib 400 mg • RECIST based response: 15 PR 6 SD • CHOI based response: 16 PR 5 SD • Interval start Imatinib – Surgery: 8 months (4-18) • Primary: 7 mo ( 4 – 11 ) Metast: 13 mo ( 5 – 18 )

  23. 21 Neoadjuvant Imatinib 400 mg • RECIST based response: 15 PR 6 SD • CHOI based response: 16 PR 5 SD • Interval start Imatinib – Surgery: 8 months (4-18) • Primary: 7 mo ( 4 – 11 ) Metast: 13 mo ( 5 – 18 ) • R0 resection: 14 • R1 resection: 7

  24. Pathological response after neoadjuvant Imatinib: 4 CR (no vital tumor) 13 PR (vital and non vital residual disease) 4 NC (no effects of Imatinib)

  25. from date of diagnosis Survival neoadjuvant vs others(minus surgery alone)

  26. Neoadjuvant Imatinib, Surgery and then ? • Continued Imatinib after surgery in 14 patients • 1 / 14 had recurrent GIST activity ½ yr after surgery • > Radiol and path mixed response with CD117 negative active Gist • > Increase to 800 mg, nor Sunitinib proved beneficial • >Died of disease 21 mo after start Imatinib and 14 mo after surgery • 13 / 14 No relapse so far

  27. Discontinued Imatinib in 7 patients • all R0 resection • recurrent GIST in 2 patients

  28. Pat 1, female 69 yr • Discontinued Imatinib in 7 patients • had a needle tract metastasis ½ yr after surgery • > Radiol SD and Path > 50% vital tumor • >After resection abdominal wall, restart adjuvant Imatinib • > ½ yr later recurrent Gist, 800 mg, nor Sunitinib proved beneficial • > Died of disease 22 mo after start Imatinib and 17 mo after surgery

  29. Pat 2, male 77 yr • Discontinued Imatinib in 7 patients • abd recurrence 2 years after surgery primary tumor • > Radiol SD and at Pathology vital tumor only • >Only short response (3 months) on restart Imatinib • > 18 months favorable response on Sunitinib, after which relapse > Again favorable response on Nilotinib • Alive 63 mo after start Imatinib and 56 mo after surgery

  30. Discontinued Imatinib in 7 patients • So, recurrent GIST in 2 patients • would continued Imatinib have prevented this ?? • 5 patients still NED6, 8, 12,14 and 22 months after surgery

  31. Neoadjuvant Imatinib, Surgery and then ? • Continued Imatinib in 14 patients 1 failure (7 %) • Discontinued Imatinib in 7 patients 2 failures (28%) • So is the NKI-AvL policy safe ?

  32. } • Resection dubious • Resection incomplete (R1) Continue Imatinib ! • or limited metastases • Duration of continued Imatinib unclear • 1 yr, 2 yrs, life long ? • Results of adjuvant studies will hopefully guide us here

  33. Complete resection (R0) • Continue Imatinib ? • Proposal: • if imaging and pathology show clear response Imatinib may be discontinued • (restart Imatinib will probably reinduce response) Blay et al. • If imaging and pathology have mixed or no response • Continue Imatinib • or consider adjuvant Sutent • ( preferably in study )
