1 Time to Secondary Resistance (TSR) After Interruption of Imatinib: Updated Results of the Prospective French Sarcoma Group Randomized Phase III Trial on Long Term Survival Duffaud F et al. ASCO 2009; Abstract 10508. (Oral Presentation)

2 Introduction 85%-90% of patients with GIST experience tumor control with imatinib (IM) Previous studies suggest that IM therapy should be administered continuously until disease progression or intolerance and not interrupted in responding patients The impact of IM re-introduction at disease progression on time to secondary resistance (TSR) remains unknown Current study objectives (N = 432): –Assess the impact on PFS and TSR of interrupting first-line IM therapy after 1, 3 and 5 years in responding patients with advanced or metastatic GIST Source: Blay JY et al.

7 Outcome of Patients with Advanced GIST Achieving a Complete Remission (CR) with Imatinib (IM) Before Interruption: Pooled Analysis of Two Consecutive Prospective Randomizations of the French Sarcoma Group BFR14 Phase III Trial Chevreau C et al. ASCO 2009; Abstract 10549. (Poster)

Introduction Optimal duration of IM treatment is unknown, but treatment interruption in responding patients after 1-3 years leads to high risk of rapid progression within a few months (See Duffaud ASCO 2009;Abstract 10508) Current study objectives: –Determine PFS of patients in the STOP group achieving a CR or a significant PR (residual tumor < 10 millimeters by CT scan) before IM interruption compared to the outcome of patients in the STOP group who experienced other patterns of response

ASCO 2009; Abstract 10549. 1 Includes patients for five-year IM treatment group (four responders, three nonresponders) * Responders = Patients who achieved CR or significant PR (residual tumor <10mm by CT scan)

ASCO 2009; Abstract 10549. † Includes one additional responder from five-year IM treatment group not included in progression analyses * Responders = Patients who achieved CR or significant PR (residual tumor <10mm by CT scan)

12 Summary and Conclusions CR obtained under IM treatment is a prerequisite for prolonged disease- free survival in advanced GIST –35% of all responding patients (CR or significant PR with residual tumor <10mm by CT scan) that interrupted IM treatment remained relapse- free versus only 12% of the non-responders Longer period of IM treatment prior to treatment interruption may delay the onset of first progression –Median PFS in the responders for one-year versus three-year treatment groups (9.4mo versus 14.1mo, respectively) Absence of liver invasion may serve as a marker for favorable response to IM treatment –Absence of liver invasion was statistically correlated (p = 0.009) with complete or significant partial response to IM in this study Source: Chevreau C et al.
