Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Neuroendocrine"

Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are rare, slow growing, and diagnosis is often delayed with advanced metastases at presentation. In select patient populations, radioisotope therapy with Lutetium-177 (Lu-DOTA-TATE) has been shown to be a safe and effective palliative therapy, and has been widely used by research groups in Europe. A brand of Lu-DOTA-TATE (Lutathera(R)) is approved for the treatment of gastroenteropancreatic NETs in Europe, the U.S., and more recently in Canada. While Lutathera(R) is approved in Canada, it is not publicly funded in Alberta. Lu-DOTA-TATE has been used at the Cross Cancer Institute to treat more than 300 patients with NETs since August, 2010. Our Lu-DOTA-TATE treatment was initially given under Health Canada's Special Access Programme (SAP), with each individual treatment requiring separate approval. In 2014, Health Canada requested we conduct a clinical trial with Lu-DOTA-TATE instead. The purpose of this study is to: 1) assess the efficacy of Lu-DOTA-TATE treatment in patients with somatostatin receptor positive tumours; 2) assess the safety of Lu-DOTA-TATE; 3) assess the effect of Lu-DOTA-TATE on Quality of Life and survival.

This phase II trial studies the effect of cabazitaxel, carboplatin, and cetrelimab followed by niraparib with or without cetrelimab in treating patients with aggressive variant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as cabazitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as niraparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cetrelimab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving niraparib with or without cetrelimab, after treatment with cabazitaxel, carboplatin, and cetrelimab, may help control aggressive variant prostate cancer.

This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter study designed to evaluate the preliminary antineoplastic activity, safety and tolerability of HA121-28 tablets administered orally in patients with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC).

Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and high-grade neuroendocrine cancers (HGNEC) are aggressive neuroendocrine cancers. At first, SCLC and HGNEC respond to chemotherapy. But then they relapse quickly and become resistant to treatment. Researchers want to see if a combination of drugs can help. Objective: To see if the combination of lurbinectedin and berzosertib may be effective to shrink SCLC and HGNEC tumors, and to find the best dose of the combination. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older with a solid tumor, SCLC, or HGNEC. Design: Participants will get lurbinectedin by intravenous (IV) catheter on Day 1 of each cycle (1 cycle = 21 days). They will get berzosertib by IV on Days 1 and 2 of each cycle. Participants will continue to receive treatment as long as they are benefiting from treatment. Participants will have physical exams and blood tests. Their symptoms, medicines, and ability to perform their normal activities will be reviewed. Participants will have electrocardiograms to test heart function. Sticky pads will be placed on their chest, arms, and legs. Participants will give blood and hair samples for research. They may have optional tumor biopsies. Participants will have computed tomography (CT) scans to see if the treatment is effective. Participants will have a follow-up visit 1 month after treatment ends. Then they will be followed by email or phone for the rest of their life.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary anti-tumor activity of RO7616789. The study will have 3 parts: Dose Escalation (Parts 1 and 2) and Dose Expansion (Part 3). Participants with advanced stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) will be enrolled in the study.

This is a non-randomized single-arm, two cohorts, phase II study of iadademstat in combination with weekly paclitaxel in patients with relapse/refractory SCLC or extrapulmonary G3 Neuroendocrine Carcinomas. A total of 42 patients with SCLC (21 patients) and G3 NEC (21 patients) will be enrolled (including those enrolled in the safety lead-in portion).

This phase II clinical trial evaluates the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Atezolizumab in addition to standard of care chemotherapy (Platinum/Etoposide) in LCNEC.

A pilot study to evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy of this novel combined regimen (NP-101 TQ Formula plus nivolumab and ipilimumab) in the second-line setting for EP-NECA. NP-101 (TQ Formula) (TQ, C10H12O2) is the main bioactive component of the black seed (Nigella sativa, Ranunculaceae family) and has anti-oxidant, anti-angiogenic effects.

The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of chidamide combined with sintilimab in chemotherapy-refractory advanced high-grade neuroendocrine neoplasm.

In this study, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-Octreotate (LuTate) will be personalized, i.e. administered activity of LuTate will be tailored for each patient to maximize absorbed radiation dose to tumor, while limiting that to healthy organs. The purpose of this study is to: Assess the objective (radiological), symptomatic and biochemical response rates following an induction course of personalized PRRT; Assess the overall, the disease-specific, and the progression-free survival following P-PRRT; Correlate therapeutic response and survival with tumor absorbed radiation dose; Evaluate the acute, subacute and chronic adverse events following P-PRRT; Correlate toxicity (i.e. occurence and severity of adverse events) with absorbed radiation doses to organs at risk; Optimize the quantitative SPECT imaging-based dosimetry methods in a subset of 20 patients (sub-study funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research). This study also has a compassionate purpose, which is to provide access to PRRT to patients.
