Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Neuroendocrine"

This is a single-center, single-arm, open-label, pilot trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of avelumab in subjects with unresectable or metastatic, Grade 3, poorly-differentiated neuroendocrine.carcinoma.

Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma (LCNEC) is a rare and aggressive form of cancer that presents significant challenges regarding treatment options and prognosis. In this trial, the effectiveness of Atezolizumab in treating metastatic LCNEC was evaluated. Atezolizumab is an anti-PD-L1 antibody that has shown promising results in other types of cancer, such as small-cell lung Cancer and non-small-cell lung cancer. The trial aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab in combination with chemotherapy as a potential treatment option for treatment-naive patients with metastatic LCNEC The trial was conducted as an open-label, non-randomized study, comparing Atezolizumab plus platinum etoposide to platinum etoposide alone in patients with metastatic LCNEC.

This phase II trial studies how well sapanisertib works in treating patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic), does not respond to treatment (refractory), or cannot be surgically removed. Drugs such as sapanisertib may stop the growth or shrink tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Background: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is common in people with a genetic disorder called multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN). Vandetanib is an experimental drug that blocks a defective protein receptor (rearranged during transfection (RET) receptor) found on the surface of cancer cells in people with MEN. It is thought that this protein is a primary cause of MTC in people with MEN. Objectives: To study the activity of Vandetanib in children and adolescents with MEN-related MTC by measuring the change in tumor size, in blood levels of proteins produced the tumor (calcitonin and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and in tumor-related diarrhea. To determine the safety and tolerability of Vandetanib in children and adolescents. To study how the body handles Vandetanib in children and adolescents. To determine the effect of Vandetanib on the survival of children and adolescents with MTC. Eligibility: -Children and adolescents 5 to 18 years of age with MTC whose tumor cannot be surgically removed or has grown back after treatment or has metastasized (spread beyond the thyroid gland). Design: Patients take Vandetanib once a day in 28-day cycles. The first patients enrolled in the study are started on a low dose of Vandetanib to determine tolerability. Patients have periodic blood tests, electrocardiograms, and blood pressure measurements to look for side effects of Vandetanib. Blood tests and imaging scans (magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), bone and octreoscan) are done every 8 weeks for the first 32 weeks of treatment and then every 16 weeks for the duration of the treatment period. Patients who have tumor-related diarrhea keep a daily record of the number and consistency of bowel movements.

This phase II trial studies how well pazopanib hydrochloride works in treating patients with advanced neuroendocrine cancer. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

The purpose of this study is to determine if carfilzomib is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors.

Title of Study: An Open-Label, Single-Arm, Two-Stage, Multicenter, Phase II Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of TLC388 as Second-line Treatment in Subjects with Poorly Differentiated Neuroendocrine Carcinomas Investigational product: Lipotecan®* *Lipotecan® is the trade name of TLC388 HCl, a Topoisomerase I inhibitor) Phase of development: Phase II Number of subjects: Plan to enroll 44 subjects Objectives: Primary objectives: To determine the objective response rate Secondary objectives: To evaluate Disease control rate, Progression free survival, Overall survival, Safety profile and Biomarkers

Evaluate the efficacy of Selinexor in patients with poorly differentiated lung and gastrointestinal and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

To study the efficacy of everolimus combined with temozolomide as first-line treatment in advanced gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma with a Ki67 of 20-55%, measured as disease control rate (non-progressive disease) at 6 months.

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of everolimus in the treatment of advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) not responsive to cytotoxic chemotherapy. All patients were treated with everolimus until either tumor progression was documented using a standard criteria that measures tumor size called Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid tumors (RECIST), or until unacceptable toxicity occurred, or until the patient or investigator requested discontinuation of treatment.
