Background: GISTs are predominantly defined by KIT/PDGFRA mutations which are targetable with a range of kinase inhibitors, however the majority become TKI-resistant (TKI-R). Double (KIT/PDGFRA) wildtype (D-WT) GISTs represent a rare subset of GIST patients in need of treatment options. We investigated a commercial database of theranostic biomarkers for the identification of novel therapy options for GIST.
