Recruiting studies
- NCT05152472RecruitingPhase 2
Imatinib plus atezolizumab versus imatinib alone for advanced GIST
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding atezolizumab (an immune medicine) to imatinib works better than imatinib by itself in people with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) that can’t be fully removed and have progressed after standard treatments. It may help by improving how well tumors respond and how long disease stays under control.
Lyon, RhôneAges 18 years+ - NCT07585266RecruitingPhase 3
New drug velzatinib versus imatinib for untreated GIST
This trial compares a newer cancer drug (velzatinib) with a standard treatment (imatinib) for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) that cannot be surgically removed or have spread. You would receive one of these two drugs to see which works better and is safer.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 18 years+ - NCT07406633RecruitingPhase 2
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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06061094RecruitingPhase 2
Ph+ ALL chemo with targeted pills and transplant
This study tests a combination of chemotherapy, targeted pills (imatinib or ponatinib), and a targeted immunotherapy (blinatumomab) before a stem cell transplant for adults with a specific type of leukemia called Philadelphia chromosome-positive ALL. The goal is to find the best treatment approach.
AachenAges 18–65 - NCT06962254RecruitingPhase 1
Imatinib and Trametinib for KRAS-mutated solid tumors
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, imatinib and trametinib, for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific KRAS mutation (G12X). It may be an option if standard treatments have stopped working or are not available.
Taichung, TaichungAges 20 years+ - NCT06124157RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy plus chemo for children with Ph+ or Ph-like B-ALL
This trial tests if adding a targeted drug (dasatinib or imatinib) to a chemotherapy combination with blinatumomab works better for children and young adults with a specific genetic form of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The goal is to see if this approach can improve treatment outcomes for patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive or ABL-class Ph-like B-ALL.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 year–46 years - NCT04598009RecruitingPhase 2
Binimetinib and imatinib for KIT-mutant advanced melanoma
This Phase 2 trial tests binimetinib plus imatinib in people with advanced melanoma that cannot be removed with surgery and that has a KIT mutation. It’s for melanoma that has gotten worse after standard treatment (or where standard treatment isn’t possible or tolerated).
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04933669RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery imatinib for high-risk stomach or gut GIST
This trial studies whether taking imatinib before surgery can shrink or control high-risk gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). If you qualify, you would receive imatinib as “neoadjuvant” (before the operation) and then move on to planned surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05009927RecruitingPhase 2
Check whether continuing imatinib works after long GIST control
This trial studies people with advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) who have been on the drug imatinib for 10 years with stable, non-growing disease. The goal is to see how effective it is to keep imatinib going after this long period.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT05385549RecruitingPhase 2
5-Year imatinib after GIST surgery for high-risk patients
This study looks at taking imatinib (a targeted anti-cancer pill) for 5 years after your GIST tumor has been fully removed. It is meant to lower the chance that GIST comes back in people considered “high risk.”
Seoul, SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT05493215RecruitingPhase 2
Imatinib drug-monitoring for GIST with specific gene changes
This Phase 2 trial studies how to adjust and monitor imatinib (a targeted cancer medicine) based on drug levels in the blood. It may help people with GIST that has certain KIT or PDGFRA mutations but not the PDGFRA D842V type.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT05722795Recruiting
Imatinib to change triple-negative breast cancer to ER-positive
This trial studies whether imatinib (a pill medicine) can “convert” triple-negative breast cancer into an ER-positive type, which may change how the cancer behaves. If the conversion happens, it could open the door to more treatment options in the future.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06090669RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of imatinib for people with RUNX1 deficiency
This trial tests if imatinib can help people with a genetic condition called RUNX1 deficiency, which causes bleeding problems. It aims to increase the activity of the RUNX1 gene to improve blood clotting.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07171203RecruitingPhase 1
Imatinib and fampridine before surgery for KIT-mutant GIST
This trial tests whether combining two oral medications, imatinib and fampridine, before surgery can shrink GIST tumors that have a specific KIT gene mutation. The goal is to improve surgical outcomes and potentially reduce the risk of the tumor coming back.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07559370RecruitingPhase 2
Imatinib Plus Artemether-Lumefantrine for Uncomplicated Malaria
This trial tests whether adding a cancer drug called imatinib to standard malaria treatment works better and is safe. Researchers will enroll adults and children with uncomplicated malaria caused by P. falciparum parasites and monitor them in the hospital for 2–3 days.
KisumuAges 1–55 - NCT06646978Enrolling by invitation
Long-term cancer risk in CML treatment trial
This study follows people who took part in the French SPIRIT trial for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) to see if they develop other cancers later in life. It helps doctors understand the long-term safety of imatinib-based treatments.
PoitiersAges 18 years+ - NCT04838041RecruitingPhase 2
Testing stopping treatment after asciminib for CML relapse
This trial looks at whether people with chronic-phase CML who tried stopping a prior CML medicine and had to restart can later stop treatment again after a set period using asciminib. It checks whether you can stay in a deep remission (“free remission” without the usual CML tablets).
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04307576RecruitingPhase 3
Study for newly diagnosed ALL children and young adults
This Phase 3 trial studies a treatment plan for people up to age 45 who are newly diagnosed with B-cell or T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The goal is to see whether the study treatment improves outcomes compared with standard approaches.
BrusselsAges birth–45 years - NCT04423185RecruitingPhase 2

This study tests targeted drugs or immunotherapy based on the genetic features of your tumor. It may help people with rare, advanced cancers whose disease has progressed after standard treatment options.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06119789RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized treatment for rare cancers using tumor markers
This trial tests whether using a precise medicine based on your tumor's unique biomarker can help treat rare cancers more effectively. It aims to offer personalized therapy when standard options are limited.
OsloAges 16–99 - NCT06336395RecruitingPhase 2
ALL treatment study for people under 41

What Imatinib is being studied for
Conditions with recruiting Imatinib studies.
Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Imatinib?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 34 recruiting studies that include Imatinib, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a Imatinib trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is Imatinib an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether Imatinib or a specific trial is right for you.
