My PhD work from the @GistLab is now published! This study provides paradigm-shifting evidence that not all exon 18 PDGFRA mutant GIST require avapritinib treatment, and instead could be treated with imatinib based on mutation status - a win for those unable to access avapritinib
Now online: Predicting clinical sensitivities of PDGFRA exon 18 mutations to imatinib and avapritinib to optimize gastrointestinal stromal tumor treatment doi.org/10.1158/2767-9764.CR…

Presented at ASCO, new data from the Phase 1/1b StrateGIST-1 trial demonstrated that velzatinib (IDRX-42) is highly active & tolerable as both a first-line and later-line therapy across a wide spectrum of KIT mutations in advanced #GIST. #ASCO26 @ASCO #clinicaltrials #velzatinib

Replying to @OHSUKnight
Analysis of 3,144 GIST case reports over 25 yrs provides unique insights into GIST biology including paraneoplastic syndromes, unusual metastatic sites rarely associated with GIST, cases in very young children, and more. @TARanjbarian ow.ly/ilbm50UuVO3 @SKMaithel
