Description:
KIT exon 9 mutants had poorer survival compared with KIT exon 11 mutants when they were
treated with the same dose of imatinib, 400 mg per day, and that patients with KIT exon 9
mutation had better progression-free survival with imatinib treatment at an escalated dose,
800 mg per day, than with imatinib treatment at a dose of 400 mg per day.10,11 Based on the
results, imatinib 800 mg per day is now considered the standard dose for the treatment of
patients with metastatic or unresectable GIST showing KIT exon 9 mutation in Western
countries.

Purpose
KIT exon 9 mutants had poorer survival compared with KIT exon 11 mutants when they were
treated with the same dose of imatinib, 400 mg per day, and that patients with KIT exon 9
mutation had better progression-free survival with imatinib treatment at an escalated dose,
800 mg per day, than with imatinib treatment at a dose of 400 mg per day.10,11 Based on the
results, imatinib 800 mg per day is now considered the standard dose for the treatment of
patients with metastatic or unresectable GIST showing KIT exon 9 mutation in Western
countries.
Detailed Description
According to our previous prospective phase II study of imatinib 400 mg per day in metastatic
or unresectable GIST, hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities were more frequent in Korean
patients compared to the Western studies.7 It may be caused by relatively higher exposure to
imatinib per body surface area in Korean patients than in Western population because the
weight and height of Korean patients are relatively smaller than Western people. So, we plan
to start imatinib at 400 mg per day and then sequentially escalate the doses of imatinib in
this study.
