IGF1R inhibitor |
This is a IGF1R inhibitor in early clinical trials for wild-type & pediatric-type GIST. IGF1R is overexpressed about 2/3 of wild-type GISTs. Recent research has suggested overexpression appears to be primarily limited to patients with the various forms of pediatric-like GIST, also known as SDH-deficient GIST.
Patients with pediatric-like GIST may be good candidates for a trial with inhibitors of IGF1R.
