Phase III
A Phase 3, Randomized, Multicenter, Open-Label Study of IDRX-42 (GSK6042981) Versus Sunitinib in Participants With Metastatic and/or Unresectable Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) After Imatinib Therapy (StrateGIST 3)
- Study HIC#:2000041392
- Last Updated:04/08/2026
The purpose of this study is to find out if a new drug, called IDRX-42 (also known as GSK6042981), is effective in treating adults with a type of cancer called Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) when compared to another drug named sunitinib. The study will see if IDRX-42 works well and is safe for participants whose GIST has spread or cannot be surgically removed, and who have already taken the drug imatinib.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed GIST that is metastatic and/or surgically unresectable.
- Documented disease progression on or intolerance to imatinib administered for first-line treatment of unresectable/metastatic disease.
- Tumor tissue must be available to be submitted to the central laboratory for retrospective biomarker analysis. The sample may be from archival tissue or a new biopsy. Tissue samples are not required to be submitted centrally prior to randomization.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Known untreated or active central nervous system metastases.
- Participants with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any component of IDRX-42 (GSK6042981) or sunitinib. Participants with a history of Stevens-Johnson syndrome on a prior Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) are excluded.
- Has a malignancy (except disease under study) that has progressed or required active treatment within the past 24 months except for basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas of the skin or in-situ carcinomas [e.g., breast, cervix, bladder] that have been resected with no evidence of metastatic disease.
