Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Imatinib mesylate

Experimental: imatinib mesylate 400 mg - 400 mg once daily

Experimental: imatinib mesylate 600 mg - 600 mg once daily


Treatment: Drugs: Imatinib mesylate
Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive imatinib mesylate 400 mg/day or 600 mg/day. Upon unsatisfactory treatment effect on the starting dose of 400 mg/day or 600 mg/day imatinib mesylate, in the opinion of the treating physician, a dose increase up to 600 mg/day or 800 mg/day, was allowed provided that the participant continued to benefit from the treatment and in the absence of safety concerns.

defined as follows: Total bilirubin <1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN), aspartate
aminotransferase (SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase (SGPT) <2.5 x ULN (or <5 x ULN if
hepatic metastases were present), creatinine <1.5 x ULN, absolute neutrophil count
(ANC) >1.5 x 10^9/L, platelet count >100 x 10^9/L

Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria

malignancy except if the other malignancy was not currently clinically significant and
did not require active intervention or if the other malignancy was a basal cell skin
cancer or a cervical carcinoma in situ

- Patients with known brain metastases

- Evidence of any of the following disorders: Grade III/IV cardiac failure as defined by
the New York Heart Association Criteria, severe concomitant disease, acute or known
chronic liver disease (i.e. chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis) or HIV infection

(six weeks for nitrosourea or mitomycin-C) and/or radiotherapy to =25% of the bone
marrow

days of entry into the study

Other protocol-defined inclusion / exclusion criteria may have applied.

Summary
Brief summary
In the core study, participants with unresectable or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal
tumors expressing c-kit were treated with either 400 mg or 600 mg imatinib mesylate for 3
years. The 10 year extension study allowed participants, who successfully completed the core
study, to continue study treatment with imatinib mesylate provided they still benefited from
treatment and did not demonstrate safety concerns as per the investigator's opinion.
