Ping Chi, MD, a medical oncologist, and Geoffrey Beene Junior Faculty chair at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, reviews the results of a phase 2 study of binimetinib (Mektovi) plus imatinib (Gleevec) as treatment of patients with untreated advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
Ping says that on top of achieving the primary end point of objective response, the select subgroup of patients was able to undergo resection. There were 7 patients who were considered unresectable at baseline, and 6 of them were resectable after treatment with the combination.
