Abstract
Discovery of constitutive activation of KIT/PDGFRA tyrosine kinases in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) leads to the development of the targeted drug imatinib. However, the inevitable development of imatinib resistance remains a major issue. Ripretinib is a novel targeted drug that inhibits the activities of a broad spectrum of drug-resistant KIT/PDGFRA mutants. It was approved in 2020 and is currently recommended by major international guidelines as the fourth-line and beyond therapy for advanced GISTs. Emerging evidence shows that ripretinib is superior to sunitinib as a second-line treatment for KIT exon 11-mutated GISTs due to its activity against highly heterogeneous frequently occurring secondary mutations. This review summarizes current data on the use of ripretinib to treat advanced imatinib-resistant GISTs. We also propose future research directions to improve the targeted GIST treatment.
