Core Tip

Core Tip: The current therapeutic drugs have limited effectiveness in treating secondary mutations in different gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), and new treatment strategies need to be developed. Ripretinib (RPT) is a new, switch-control tyrosine kinase inhibitors that can suppress different mutations of KIT and PDGFRA via a dual mechanism of action. This study aims to investigate the literature on RPT to assess an effective, safe, and successful treatment strategy against advanced GIST.
