#newtotwitter We are the Heinrich Lab! We are a small but mighty group. We study #GIST, aiming to understand the molecular mechanisms of disease to provide better diagnostic tools and treatment strategies for patients. #SlayGIST

My PhD work from the @GistLab is now published! This study provides paradigm-shifting evidence that not all exon 18 PDGFRA mutant GIST require avapritinib treatment, and instead could be treated with imatinib based on mutation status - a win for those unable to access avapritinib

Presented at ASCO, new data from the Phase 1/1b StrateGIST-1 trial demonstrated that velzatinib (IDRX-42) is highly active & tolerable as both a first-line and later-line therapy across a wide spectrum of KIT mutations in advanced #GIST.

Thank you to @GistLab of @OHSUKnight for participating in an interview to unpack a ctDNA analysis of the phase 1/1b StrateGIST 1 trial. Check out highlights from the interview on onclive.com #oncology #ASCO26 @asco

Really enjoyed connecting with everyone,
hearing about the latest clinical trials and
discussing the multidisciplinary, individualized
approach to this rare disease with @GistLab
