DCC-2618 in GIST after at least 3 prior treatments
Official title: A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety of DCC-2618 in Patients With Unresectable, Metastatic, or Recurrent Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) Who Are Refractory or Intolerant to at Least 3 Prior Therapies
Run by Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. · NCT07618377 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests whether DCC-2618 is safe in people with advanced GIST who have already tried at least three other treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with histologically confirmed GIST, measurable disease, ECOG 0-1, and intolerance or resistance to at least imatinib, sunitinib, and regorafenib.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without a measurable lesion, with ECOG performance status above 1, or who have not exhausted standard therapies may be less likely to benefit.

What this trial studies
This early-phase interventional study evaluates the safety of DCC-2618 in adults with unresectable, metastatic, or recurrent gastrointestinal stromal tumors who have progressed after three or more prior therapies. Participants must have at least one measurable lesion and an ECOG score of 0 or 1. Eligible patients are those who are refractory or intolerant to imatinib, sunitinib, and regorafenib. The study is conducted at two national cancer centers in Japan and is sponsored by Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Primary focus is safety, with secondary observations potentially informing tolerability and pharmacodynamics in a heavily pretreated GIST population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, DCC-2618 could offer a new treatment option for patients with advanced GIST who have exhausted standard therapies.
How similar studies have gone: Prior approaches with similar targeted therapies in GIST have shown mixed safety signals but some have yielded promising signals in heavily pretreated patients; this study explores safety specifically for DCC-2618 in this niche.
