Abstract

Currently approved agents in metastatic GIST focus on targeted suppression of KIT or PDGFRA oncogenic activation. However, their clinical benefit after imatinib (IM) progression is still modest, suggesting the co-operation of KIT/PDGFRA-independent mechanisms in GIST cell survival. Selinexor is an oral, selective inhibitor of XPO1-mediated nuclear export, and preclinical studies evidenced antitumoral activity in GIST as single agent and in combination with IM in both IM-sensitive and IM-resistant models.
