Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Patient treatment regimen will be determined by KIT mutational status. For patients recieving less than or equal to 6 weeks of Imatinib will be classified as either exon 9/WT or exon 11. Patients will initially receive 400mg/day of imatinib (also known as Glivec) administered orally in tablet form. Patients will then receive an escalated dose up to 800mg/day imatinib. The timing of dose escalation will depend on the patient KIT mutational status (exon 9/WT or exon 11) and their early response to treatment. For patients who have received more than 6 weeks of imatinib they will continue on at a dose of 400mg/day until RECIST-defined progression where the dose will be escalated up to 800mg/day depending on the patient's response to treatment. The rest of the regime will be the same as patients who have received less than or equal to 6 weeks of imatinib treatment.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 4496 0
Time to ultimate disease progression on study treatment (using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST criteria)) for the exon 9/WT subgroup of patients
Timepoint [1] 4496 0
Every 3 months while on study treatment. Study treatment will continue until disease progression on nilotinib.
Secondary outcome [1] 7604 0
Time to ultimate disease progression on study treatment (using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST criteria)) for the exon 11 subgroup of patients
Timepoint [1] 7604 0
Every 3 months while on study treatment. Study treatment will continue until disease progression.
Secondary outcome [2] 7605 0
Safety and tolerability of imatinib and nilotinib. Safety and tolerability will be assessed and monitored by the study nurse or doctor at each patient visit and graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0 (NCICTCAEv3.0).
Timepoint [2] 7605 0
Every 2 weeks when commencing new treatment regime. Every 3 months when treatment regimen is established. Assessments will continue until the patient leaves the trial or the patient experiences progressive disease.
Secondary outcome [3] 7606 0
Correlation between pharmacokinetic (serum imatinib levels) and pharmacodynamic (Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (FDG PET)scan) measures.
Timepoint [3] 7606 0
At 6 weeks and then every 3 months until treatment with imatinib is ceased.
