ABSTRACT
Ripretinib, a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) resistant to standard therapies, was assessed in the United Kingdom (UK) within an Expanded Access Program (EAP). A retrospective review of patients treated between January 2020 and October 2021 within the ripretinib EAP in our Institution was conducted. Clinician-documented and mRECIST 1.1 assessments were collected. The primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and time to treatment discontinuation (TTD). Treatment beyond progression (TBP), overall survival (OS), objective response rates and safety data were also analyzed. Survival curves were constructed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed. All analyses were performed with R software. Overall, forty-five patients were included. After a median follow-up of 24.2 (95% CI 19.7-29.7) months, the median PFS of the group receiving 150 mg ripretinib once daily (OD) was 7.9 (95% CI 5.6-19.3) months. In the cohort of 22 patients with dose escalation upon tumor progression to 150 mg ripretinib twice daily (BD), the median PFS from BD was 5.4 (95% CI 2.8-9.3) months. Overall, median PFS and OS values for patients on ripretinib were 9.7 (95% CI 8.3-18.1) and 14.0 (95% CI 9.9-NA) months, respectively. TTD was similar to PFS. TBP was observed in about one third of all patients. Objective responses to ripretinib OD and BD treatments were observed in 16.7% and 10.0% of the patients, respectively. No new safety signals were identified. In conclusion, patients with advanced GIST receiving ripretinib in the UK within the EAP reported prolonged benefits, in line with the recent phase III clinical trials.
