Imatinib rechallenge in patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors following progression with imatinib, sunitinib and regorafenib

2018

Background: Rechallenge with imatinib is an option in advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) patients following progression with standard tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs), imatinib, sunitinib and regorafenib. We retrospectively collected data from metastatic Italian GIST patients treated with imatinib resumption after progression to conventional TKIs. Methods: A total of 104 eligible advanced GIST patients, previously treated with imatinib, sunitinib and regorafenib, were collected from six referral Italian institutions. Mutational analysis was recorded and correlated with survival and response according to RECIST 1.1 or CHOI criteria. Results: Overall, 71 patients treated with ima…

Short-term benefit of smoking cessation along with glycopirronium on lung function and respiratory symptoms in mild COPD patients: a retrospective st…

2018

Introduction. Tobacco smoke is the leading cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Smoking cessation can change the natural history of COPD, as we know from the GOLD guidelines. Little is known about the short-term clinical and functional effects of smoking cessation treatment combined with anti-muscarinic bronchodilators. Objective. To determine whether quitting smoking, obtained by smoking cessation treatment combined with the use of a new long-acting muscarinic antagonist bronchodilator (LAMA), can improve lung function tests and respiratory symptoms more than the use of LAMA alone. Methods. We evaluated, in a retrospective analysis, the functional and clinical data, colle…

Rechallenge in advanced GIST progressing to imatinib, sunitinib and regorafenib: An Italian survey.

2017

11038 Background: We retrospectively collected data from metastatic Italian GIST patients treated with imatinib or sunitinib reintroduction after progression to conventional three or four lines of therapy. Methods: 82 eligible advanced GIST patients, previously treated with imatinib, sunitinib and regorafenib, were collected in the present analysis from 6 cancer centres. All patients received all three standard kinase inhibitors. Imatinib dose increase as active second line or 800 mg upfront in exon 9 mutant GIST were allowed. Specific mutations were recorded if available (deletion versus others) and correlated with survival and response according to RECIST 1.1 or CHOI criteria. Results: S…
