PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine response to Gleevec (Imatinib Mesylate) in patients with metastatic
colorectal cancer and with c-Kit, Arg, Abl, or PDGF-R expression.
II. To determine the side effects of Imatinib Mesylate in patients with colorectal cancer.
III. To study the biologic effects of Imatinib Mesylate on the c-Kit and PDGF-R system and
downstream signaling in metastatic colorectal cancer.
