This Market Spotlight report covers the Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) market, comprising key marketed and pipeline drugs, recent events and analyst opinion, clinical trials, regulatory events, probability of success, a 10-year disease incidence forecast, and drug-specific revenue forecasts.

Key Takeaways
  • The publisher estimates that in 2019, there were 100,200 incident cases of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) worldwide, and expects that number to increase to 109,000 incident cases by 2028.
  • The approved drugs in the GIST space target BCR-ABL fusion protein, KIT/c-KIT, platelet-derived growth factor receptor, plateletderived growth factor alpha, PPAR gamma, Raf kinase, VEGF receptor, and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3. These therapies are administered via the oral route.
  • Industry-sponsored drugs in active clinical development for GIST are spread evenly across Phase I and Phase II, with one drug in Phase III.
  • Therapies in development for GIST focus on a wide variety of targets. The majority of pipeline drugs in development are administered orally, with the remainder being tested in intratumoral and intravenous formulations.
  • The only high-impact upcoming event in the GIST space is topline Phase III trial results for Qinlock. The overall likelihood of approval of a Phase I solid tumors asset is 5.3%, and the average probability a drug advances from Phase III is 42.8%. Drugs, on average, take 9.7 years from Phase I to approval, compared to 9.6 years in the overall oncology space.
  • The distribution of clinical trials across Phase I–IV indicates that the majority of trials for GIST have been in the early and midphases of development, with 83% of trials in Phase I–II, and only 17% in Phase III–IV.
  • The US has a substantial lead in the number of GIST clinical trials globally. France leads the major European markets, while China has the top spot in Asia.
  • Clinical trial activity in the GIST space is dominated by completed trials. Novartis has the highest number of completed clinical trials for GIST, with 65 trials.
  • Novartis leads industry sponsors with by far the highest overall number of clinical trials for GIST.
