Recruiting studies near Boston
- NCT06630234RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug for advanced GIST with specific gene changes
This trial tests a new targeted therapy drug, DCC-3009, for people with advanced GIST that has a specific gene mutation (KIT or PDGFRA). It's for those who have already tried other targeted treatments and need a new option.

KQB198 plus imatinib for advanced GIST
This trial tests a new drug called KQB198 combined with imatinib for people with advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) that has a specific KIT or PDGFRA mutation. The goal is to see if this combination works better than imatinib alone as a first treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05208047RecruitingPhase 3
CGT9486 plus sunitinib for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors
This trial tests whether adding a new drug called CGT9486 to sunitinib (a standard cancer drug) works better than sunitinib alone for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) that have grown or spread. You may qualify if your GIST stopped responding to or caused problems with imatinib, an earlier treatment.

Pemigatinib for a rare type of GIST
This trial tests a drug called pemigatinib for people with a specific type of GIST (SDH-deficient GIST) that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if the drug can help stop the cancer from growing.

New drug vs sunitinib for GIST after imatinib
This trial compares a new oral drug, IDRX-42, with the standard drug sunitinib (Sutent) for people with advanced GIST whose cancer has progressed after imatinib therapy. The goal is to see if IDRX-42 can better control the tumor growth.

Belzutifan for cancers linked to VHL or HIF-2α changes
This Phase 2 study tests belzutifan (MK-6482) to treat certain advanced cancers caused by specific gene or disease changes, including VHL-related tumors and HIF-2α related tumors. It may help shrink tumors or slow their growth in people whose cancer matches these genetic or disease patterns.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12 years+ - NCT06655246RecruitingPhase 1
Ziftomenib and imatinib for advanced GIST
This trial tests a new drug, ziftomenib, combined with imatinib for people with advanced or spreading gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) that have a KIT mutation. It may help if your GIST has gotten worse while on imatinib.

What taking part in a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (gist) study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
