  2. Background • KIT and PDGFRA are primary drivers of oncogenic signaling in GISTs. • KIT inhibition with tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs)improves outcomes in most GIST patients. • Resistance to TKIs eventually emerges in virtually all GIST patients. • KIT secondary resistance mutations are the main mechanism of TKI failure.

  7. Second- and third-line treatment in GIST • Regorafenib (REGO) has recently obtained FDA-approval in GIST patients after failure of imatinib (IM) and sunitinib (SU). • There is substantial heterogeneity of secondary KIT resistant mutations between and within metastases from individual patients after progression on TKIs. • Progression-free survival after imatinib failure is 4 to 6 months irrespective of the second- or third-line TKI used.

  8. Aims We investigated novel strategies to overcome heterogeneity of resistant clones in TKI-resistant GIST patients.

  30. Once a KIT inhibitor is withdrawn: • Phosphorylation of KIT • Phosphorylation of downstream • signal intermediates (AKT and ERK) • Increase of Cyclin A expression • Increase of Ki-67 expression • Mitotic activity 2 days 4 days 7 days

  31. Recovery of mitotic activity in GIST patients responding to TKI therapy after withdrawal of the KIT inhibitor

  32. Rapid alternation regimen 3 days SU 4 days REGO 4 days REGO 3 days SU • Rapid alternation regimen might minimize toxic effects. • Alternation of complementary drugs increases the spectrum of effective inhibition of IM-resistant clones.

  33. Conclusions Sunitinib and regorafenib have complementary activity against secondary KIT mutations. After withdrawal of an effective KIT inhibitor, target re-activation occurs in 1 to 3 days. Proliferation markers are re-activated between 3 to 7 days, and mitotic activation is observed in vitro and in clinical correlates between 4 to 7 days. These observations define a rational schedule for alternation of sunitinib and regorafenib in a heterogeneous GIST population that will be shortly tested in a Phase Ib clinical trial.
