Patient description: The patient is a 24-year-old man who has had type 1 diabetes for 11 years. He presents to the emergency room with hyperglycemia and concern for possible diabetic ketoacidosis after not taking his insulin for 3 days. The patient reports that he is currently homeless and has lost his supply of insulin, syringes, glucometer, and glucose testing supplies. The patient states that at the time of his initial diagnosis with type 1 diabetes he was hospitalized with a glucose value >1000 mg/dL. At the time, he was experiencing polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia. He reports that he has been on insulin since the time of his diagnosis, and he has never been prescribed oral agents for diabetes management. Most recently, he has been using insulin glargine 55 units once daily, and insulin aspart sliding scale 3 times daily. The patient has had previous episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis, for which he was hospitalized. With this episode of hyperglycemia, he is not experiencing any nausea, vomiting, or abdominal discomfort, and he appears well. His lab studies showed: A1c: 11.3% Creatinine: 0.9 mg/dL with eGFR >60 mL/min Aspartate aminotransferase (AST): 17 U/L Alanine aminotransferase (ALT): 14 U/L Beta-hydroxybutyrate: 0.1 mmol/L Bicarbonate: 25 mEq/L Anion

Clinical trial eligibility criteria: eligible ages (years): 18.0-999.0,  Carney Complex Chondrosarcoma Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Paraganglioma Patients must have histologically confirmed gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) with confirmed genotype of wild-type in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified laboratory Patients will be stratified into pediatric and adult cohorts; patients in the pediatric cohort (age at diagnosis =< 18 years OR diagnosis of Carney Triad or Carney-Stratakis Diad (paraganglioma, pulmonary chondroma) must have received at least sunitinib and have had progression on or intolerance to progression on therapy; patients in the adult cohort (age at diagnosis > 18 years AND no diagnosis of diagnosis of Carney Triad or Carney-Stratakis Diad) have had progression on or intolerance to imatinib therapy as documented by treating physician Performance status: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-2 Patients must have measurable disease defined as lesions that can be measured in 2 dimensions by medical imaging techniques such as CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); ascites, pleural fluid, and lesions seen on PET scan only are not considered measurable White blood cells count (WBC) >= 2.0 x 10^9/L (being >= 14 days off growth factors) OR Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1.5 x 10^9/L (being >= 14 days off growth factors) Platelet count >= 75 x 10^9/L Total bilirubin =< 1.5 times the upper limit of normal for age Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]/serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT]) =< 3 x the upper limit of normal (ULN) for the reference lab (=< 5 x the ULN for the reference lab in the presence of known hepatic metastasis, adjusted for age) Creatinine clearance > 70 ml/min/1.73m^2 or  Time elapsed from previous therapy must be >= 3 weeks except for prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy which can be >= 7 days; patients must be recovered from the effects of any prior surgery, radiotherapy or systemic therapy Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents or other anti-cancer therapies other than those administered in this study during protocol treatment Patients with diabetes mellitus requiring insulin for control of their diabetes Patients with a history of liver cirrhosis Patients with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to linsitinib (OSI-906) While cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) inhibitors/inducers are not specifically excluded, investigators should be aware that linsitinib (OSI 906) exposure may be altered by the concomitant administration of these drugs While cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) substrates are not specifically excluded, investigators should be aware that levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9 may be increased by the concomitant administration of linsitinib (OSI-906); caution should be used when administering CYP2C9 substrates to patients who are on study drug Use of the potent CYP1A2 inhibitors ciprofloxacin and fluvoxamine are prohibited; other less potent CYP1A2 inhibitors/inducers are not excluded Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
