Title:

Pimitespib is effective on cecal GIST in a mouse model of familial GISTs with KIT-Asp820Tyr mutation through KIT signaling inhibition

Published date:

Excerpt:
First, we showed that pimitespib inhibited KIT phosphorylation both dose- and time-dependently in KIT-Asp818Tyr transfected murine Ba/F3 cells....Compared to the vehicle treated mice, pimitespib administered mice showed statistically significantly smaller cecal tumor volume, lower Ki-67 labeling index, and higher number of apoptotic figures in 10 high power fields (P = 0.0344, P = 0.0019 and P = 0.0269, respectively)....These results suggest that the progression of multiple GISTs in patients with germline KIT-Asp820Tyr might be controllable by pimitespib.
