Abstract Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gut and are distinguished by expression of CD117 (c-Kit). Oncogenic mutations in the KIT or PDGFRA gene are detected in approximately 85% of sporadic GISTs. In recent years, examples of familial GIST have been reported in which germline mutations of KIT or PDGFRA result in multiple GISTs, skin disorders, and other abnormalities. The most common germline mutations are in KIT exon 11, mutations in exons 8 and 17 have also been described, and there are 2 families with germline PDGFRA mutations. We present a case in which a germline KIT exon 13 mutation (K642E) was discovered in a patient with multiple GISTs of rectum, small intestine, and esophagus, as well as diffuse hyperplasia of the interstitial cells of Cajal. To our knowledge, this is only the second germline example of this particular mutation. The patient's esophageal tumors were stabilized with imatinib.

10085 Background: Although escalated dose (ED, 800 mg daily) of imatinib (IM) is one of important options in resistant gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) on standard dose (SD, 400mg daily), there has been lack of pharmacokinetic data at ED. We therefore explore the potential relationship between IM plasma trough level (Cmin), and clinical outcomes or toxicities in patients treated with ED. Methods: Between 2008 and 2011, steady-state IM Cmin was measured in 66 patients with GIST who received ED of IM using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Percent change from IM Cmin at SD was calculated in 43 patients that both SD and ED IM Cmin were measured. The association with efficacy and toxicity was analyzed with grouping patients into quartiles according to IM Cmin at ED and percent change. Results: Median age was 59 years (range, 36–77) and 40 patients were male. KIT exon 11 and 9 mutation was detected in 32 and 18 patients, respectively. At ED, partial response was achieved in 4 patients (6%) and stable disease was in 32 patients (48%). The median progression-free survival was 4.2 months (95% CI, 1.8-6.6) and overall survival was 38.5 months (95% CI, 7.6-69.3). The mean (± standard deviation) IM Cmin at ED was 3552 (± 1540) ng/mL. IM Cmin was significantly increased after dose escalation (p <0.001), and mean percent change from IM Cmin at SD was 162% (± 100). Body surface area (p=0.01), hemoglobin (p=0.001), and neutrophil count (p=0.006) were significant covariates for IM Cmin at ED in multivariate analysis. The group of quartiles of IM Cmin at ED and percent change was not associated with response and survival outcomes. However, grade 3-4 hematologic or grade 2-4 non-hematologic toxicity was observed in 9% (1/11) of patients in the lowest percent change quartile (Q1, <90%) compared with 56% (18/32) in Q2 to Q4 (p=0.012), although absolute values were not associated with toxicity. Conclusions: In GIST patients treated with ED of IM, IM Cmin was not associated with response and survival. Clinically significant toxicity following dose escalation was correlated with percent change of IM Cmin, rather than absolute values. Monitoring of IM Cmin might help to predict or manage ED of IM induced toxicity.

Malignant Gists

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) represent a distinct and the most important subset of mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract GISTs occur throughout the GI tract but are usually located in the stomach and small intestine. The cellular origin, differentiation, nomenclature and prognosis of GISTs are controversial. Because GISTs, like the interstitial cells of Cajal, the GI pacemaker cells, express CD117 (c-kit protein), the origin of GISTs from the Cajal cells has recently been suggested. GISTs are also known for their wide variability in clinical behavior and for the difficulty to determine their malignant condition The most reproducible predictors of malignancy are mitotic count >1-5 per10 high-powered fields (HPF), size >5 cm, tumor necrosis, infiltration and metastasis to other sites. However, some tumors with mitotic activity <1/10 HPF may metastasize indicating some uncertainty in malignant potential of GISTs, especially those larger than 5 cm. Recently, mutations in c-kit gene (exon 11) preferentially occur in malignant GISTs and may be a clinically useful adjunct marker in evaluation of GISTs. In conclusion, the strong CD117 expression mostly defines primary GI mesenchymal tumors as GIST. Specific identification of GIST may become clinically important if therapies targeting the c-kit tyrosine kinase activation become available.
