Ripretinib: A narrative drug review
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare primary neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract, mesentery, or omentum. In the past, for patients with resectable tumors, surgery was the only viable treatment option.

Ripretinib in gastrointestinal stromal tumor: the long-awaited step forward
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) represents a paradigm for clinically effective targeted inhibition of oncogenic driver mutations in cancer. Five drugs are currently positioned as the standard of care for the treatment of advanced or metastatic GIST

An overview of agents and treatments for PDGFRA-mutated gastrointestinal stromal tumors
Platelet-derived growth factor receptor A (PDGFRA) mutations occur in approximately 10–15% of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). These tumors with PDGFRA mutations have a different pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, and treatment response ...
