E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The aims of this study are to confirm pre-clinical data and to evaluate the potential synergism between Glivec® and cilostazol in patient with unresectable or metastatic GIST of any primary (except PDGFR&D842V mutants), and also to evaluate the tolerability and safety of the combined therapy.
Primary objective:
Evaluation of metabolic response on 18F-FDG PET using EORTC (PET Study Group) Criteria after 28 days of cilostazol treatment added to Glivec®
Image will be analysed by 2 independant nuclear specialists
Results will be statistically analysed by using the Wilcoxon rank test for paired observations.
Tolerability and safety of the combination therapy
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Evaluation of morphological response on thoraco-abdominal CT Scan using the radiological Choi Criteria based on the modifications of the size and/or tumor density (Hounsfeild Unit) of the lesions.
Search of possible predictive factor of therapeutic response using statistical analysis by the Cox multivariate regression method
|
