Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine if escalating the dose of imatinib to keep the drug blood level at ≥ 1100 ng/ml leads to better outcomes for patients.

| Arms | Assigned Interventions |
|---|---|
|
Active Comparator: Arm A

|
Drug: Imatinib mesylate
600 or 800 mg daily. Number of cycles: until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity develops
Other Names:
|
|
Active Comparator: Arm C
Patients with blood level ≥1100 will continue imatinib 400 mg daily
|
Drug: Imatinib mesylate
400 mg daily. Number of cycles: until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity develops
Other Names:
|
|
Active Comparator: Arm D
Patients with tumors that harbor exon 9 mutations will continue imatinib mesylate at 400 mg or dose escalate up to 800 mg daily
|
Drug: Imatinib mesylate
400, 600 or 800 mg daily. Number of cycles: until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity develops

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age ≥ 18 years
- Unresectable and/or metastatic GIST
- Currently receiving imatinib 400 mg per day for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to registration, and for no more than 6 months prior to registration. This must be the first time that the patient has been treated for metastatic and/or unresectable GIST
- For patients who received imatinib following surgery at the time of an initial diagnosis of GIST, there must be a 6 month interval between completion of imatinib and the diagnosis of metastatic GIST
- Good physical functioning (ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1)
- Generally, good function of organ such as liver and kidneys
Exclusion Criteria:
- Disease progression during adjuvant therapy with imatinib (adjuvant treatment is treatment that is given after surgery for GIST)
- Known intolerance of imatinib at a dose of 400 mg/day or higher
- Prior systemic therapy for advanced GIST with imatinib or those who have been on imatinib for longer than 6 months for unresectable and/or metastatic disease
- Major surgery within 2 weeks prior to Day 1 of study or who have not yet recovered from prior surgery
- Use of coumadin derivatives (i.e. warfarin, acenocoumarol, phenprocoumon)
- Patients who have received wide field radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks or limited field radiation for palliation < 2 weeks or who have not recovered from side effects of this therapy
