This presentation focuses on the critical findings of the SSGXVIII study comparing 12 versus 36 months of adjuvant imatinib treatment for patients with resected gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). It covers the methodology, validity of conclusions, and implications for adjuvant therapy in GIST management. Key discussions include the treatment of metastatic disease, the risks of recurrence, and considerations for prolonged therapy. The outcomes indicate that extended imatinib treatment can enhance recurrence-free survival and overall survival, raising questions about who should receive such therapy.

SSGXVIII Study Snapshot • Key eligibility factors: • Resected KIT+ GIST • High risk for recurrence by 2002 Modified Consensus Criteria • Recurrence-free survival hazard ratio aimed for: 0.44 • Hazard ratios found: RFS = 0.46; OS = 0.45 • Authors concluded 3 years of imatinib improve RFS and OS
SSGXVIII: Methodology and Validity of Conclusions Goals were reasonable Methodologies for primary and secondary objectives were sound Conclusion regarding recurrence-free survival is valid Conclusion regarding overall survival is valid, with some limitations

Issues Related to Administering Imatinib for a Prolonged Period in the Adjuvant Setting • Grade 3/4 toxicities similar in frequency on both arms • Twice as many dropped out on 3-year arm related to an adverse event; same for “other” reasons • Were low-grade side effects challenging to tolerate long-term? • Is it too difficult to take a pill for years with no disease evident?
Who Should Receive Post-Operative Imatinib? • SSGXVIII eligibility included being at “high risk” for recurrence • “High risk” patients have recurrence probablilities ranging from ~34% to nearly 100% • Can assign an actual number to individual patients using clinical factors and Gold nomogram1 1Gold et al., Lancet Oncol 2009
Risk-Reduction with 3 Years of Adjuvant Imatinib (cont.) • Within categories, higher and lower risk patients enjoy the same benefits from longer therapy • We can thus apply SSGXVIII’s results to patients at roughly a 1 in 3 or greater chance or recurrence
Risk-Reduction with 3 Years of Adjuvant Imatinib (cont.) • Within categories, higher and lower risk patients enjoy the same benefits from longer therapy • We can thus apply SSGXVIII’s results to patients at roughly a 1 in 3 or greater chance or recurrence • But should we?
Who Should Receive Adjuvant Therapy after Resection of GIST? • In current practice, adjuvant imatinib often administered to patients with >25% chance of recurrence • Therapy routinely continued for >1 year, especially in highest-risk patients • Is 25% to ~35% reasonable, given the possibility we may need to treat very long term? • Possible strategy: Give imatinib for 3 years to lower risk patients and >3 years for higher risk • Not recommended
SSGXVIII: Overall Survival 96.3% 92.0% 100 94.0% % 80 81.7% 60 36 months Hazard ratio 0.45 (95% CI, 0.22-0.89) P = .019 12 months 40 20 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Years since randomization
SSXVIII: What Does the Overall Survival Difference Mean? • Improved long-term overall survival usually equates with increased cure rate • Do not know if overall survival difference will hold up • Period by period hazard rate assessment necessary to prove better overall survival from increased cure rate • Cure = finite drug administration; Prolonged remission = lifelong treatment
What is the Ideal Duration for Imatinib in the Adjuvant Setting? • 3 years, as per the experimental arm on SSGXVIII? • 5 to 10 years, still aiming for cure? • Indefinite, abandoning goal of cure? • Combination: Finite for some, lifelong for others?

Identifying the Ideal Adjuvant Duration for Imatinib in GIST and for Other Biologics • As of June 5th, 2011, we do not know how long to administer adjuvant imatinib in GIST • We still need to test multiple possible durations • Economic and patient availability limit feasibility of doing so • Little enthusiasm for 5 year v. 10 year v. lifelong study

My Conclusions from SSGXVIII • In GIST, 3 years of adjuvant imatinib are better than one in terms of recurrence-free and overall survival • 3 years of post-operative imatinib treatment represent the new gold standard for patients with resected “high-risk” GISTs • The overall survival advantage demonstrated means we cannot try to “catch-up” later, in advanced disease setting
Issues Remaining from SSGXVIII • Should we treat post-operative patients longer than 3 years? • Should we treat lifelong? • Whom should we treat with adjuvant imatinib? • I will use a “50% chance of recurrence” threshold
Issues Remaining (cont.) • How do we best study adjuvant therapy for GISTs? • Probably will not truly be able to figure out how long to treat or • Will not matter, if GISTs are incurable in any setting • Thus, need to identify biomarkers to tell us whomto treat
