Risk of Recurrence After Resection of Primary GIST Approximately 40% of patients who undergo complete resection of primary GIST have a recurrence within 5 years DeMatteo RP et al. Cancer. 2008;112:608-615.
Risk Assessment Accurate assessment of risk of aggressive malignant behaviour in GIST poses a challenge1 Morphologic features most predictive of outcome1,2 - Mitotic index - Tumour size Tumour site and rupture also affect risk of recurrence and progression2,3 Mutational status is useful in predicting treatment response in the metastatic setting4,5 ?applicable in the adjuvant setting 1.

Recurrence-free Survival (RFS)* Median follow-up: 19.7 months Estimated 1-year RFS (95% CI): Imatinib: 98% (96-100) Placebo: 83% (78-88) HR = 0.35 (0.22-0.53) p < 0.0001 CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio Events experienced: Imatinib: 8.0% (30) Placebo: 20.0% (70) *All randomised patients were included in the analysis; recurrence-free survival was defined as the time from patient registration to the development of tumour recurrence or death from any cause. Intention-to-treat analyses were done for recurrence-free survival (ie, analysed patients by randomised group).
Recurrence-free Survival (Tumour size) size >6cm and <10cm size >3 and <6 cm • Imatinib adjuvant therapy results in significantly longer RFS in each of the tumour size categories compared to placebo size >10cm
Overall Survival (OS)* • No difference in OS between imatinib and placebo adjuvant therapies *All randomised patients were included in the analysis; Overall survival was defined as the time from patient registration to death from any cause. Intention-to-treat analyses were done for overall survival (ie, analysed patients by randomised group).
Imatinib at 400 mg/day is safe and well tolerated when administered as adjuvant therapy after complete resection of primary GIST Adjuvant imatinib resulted in an improvement in RFS in patients with all tumour sizes - Especially relevant for high-risk patients (e.g. tumour size ≥10 cm or high mitotic rate) since this patient population has a 50% higher chance of recurrence at 2 years without adjuvant therapy OS between imatinib and placebo groups comparable at this time A longer follow-up period is likely required to observe differences Ongoing trials in the adjuvant setting are under way to determine appropriate treatment duration of imatinib and impact on OS SSGXVIII/AIO EORTC 62024 Summary

Conclusions Compared to 1 year of adjuvant imatinib, 3 years of imatinib improves - RFS - Overall survival as treatment of GIST patients who have a high estimated risk of recurrence after surgery. Adjuvant imatinib is relatively well tolerated; severe adverse events are infrequent.

Conclusions from SSGXVIII * In GIST, 3 years of adjuvant imatinib are better than one in terms of recurrence-free and overall survival Three years of post-operative imatinib treatment represent the new gold standard for patients with resected “high-risk” GISTs The overall risk at which adjuvant imatinib should be commenced requires further clarification * Adapted from discussion by Charles Blanke, ASCO 2011
