Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Neuroendocrine"

This phase II trial studies how well sorafenib tosylate works in treating patients with medullary thyroid cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic), spread to the tissue surrounding the thyroid (locally advanced), or has returned after a period of improvement (recurrent). Sorafenib tosylate 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.

Rationale: In patients with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), molecular imaging is used to assess the extent of disease in the primary diagnostic process and follow-up period to determine possible therapeutic options. The currently most used tracer in clinical practice, F-18 labelled fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), does not accurately detect MTC tumors with an indolent growth rate. A new, complimentary tracer is warranted to detect different subtypes. Objective: The primary objective is to assess the feasibility of using the F-18 labelled prostate specific membrane antigen (18F-PSMA) PET/CT for (re)staging patients with medullary thyroid cancer. The secondary objective is to compare the ability to detect MTC with the 18F-PSMA PET/CT to that of the 18F-FDG PET/CT. Study design: Prospective, single-centre, feasibility study. Study population: Patients (18 years of age or older) with biochemically and cytological/histological confirmed MTC, for whom the indication of an 18F-FDG PET/CT for tumor staging has already been determined on clinical grounds. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary outcome of this study is the performance (lesion-based//patient-based sensitivity) of the 18F-PSMA PET to detect MTC lesions in patients with cytologically/histologically confirmed disease. Secondarily, the performance of the 18F-PSMA PET will be compared to the 18F-FDG PET/CT.

This protocol will enroll patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma (Cohort 1), gastrointestinal/pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms with Ki-67 > 20% (Cohort 2) and neuroendocrine prostate carcinoma (Cohort 3)). Each cohort will have its own interim analysis after enrollment of 10 patients. Subjects will be given a one-month (28 day) supply of study drug (ESK981). Subjects will be instructed to take 4 capsules, with or without food, once per day for 5 consecutive calendar days, then take a drug holiday for 2 consecutive days before repeating the 5 days on-2 days off cycle in sets of 4 weeks or 28 calendar days. Subjects will be asked to keep a pill diary noting the date they take their study drug.

The primary objective of this study, sponsored by Travera Inc. in Massachusetts, is to validate whether the mass response biomarker has potential to predict response of patients to specific therapies or therapeutic combinations using isolated tumor cells from various specimen formats including malignant fluids such as pleural effusions and ascites, core needle biopsies, fine needle aspirates, or resections.

This is a multicentre, controlled, observational prospective study on new biomarkers, as immune profiling, angiogenetic markers and circRNA from TEPs in the diagnosis and in the evaluation of treatment response in pulmonary and gastro-entero-pancreatic NENs.

This is a retrospective study. The analysis includes patients with advanced neuroendocrine cancer (NEN) treated with systemic therapy, because of inoperable primary tumor or/and metastasis, clinical, imaging, biochemical disease progression and no standard method of treatment hormone overproduction symptoms. The data of patients with advanced NEN with histopathological confirmation is collected from medical records. The progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and influence of various factors on survival will be estimated. The research will be conducted for above 3 years on planned group 1500 patients. The aim of the study is to estimate median OS and PFS in advanced NEN patients treated with different schedule of systemic treatment.

This study utilizes a multi-institutional registry to describe the natural history of medullary thyroid cancer that has spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) in understanding disease management. The goal of this study is to learn about how medullary thyroid cancer develops and progresses.

This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ clinical study of ZG006 for the treatment of participants with small cell lung cancer or neuroendocrine carcinoma who had no standard treatment available, or were intolerant to standard treatment.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant adebrelimab plus etoposide and cisplatin in patients with neuroendocrine bladder carcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: The pathologic complete response rate at radical cystectomy Safety and tolerability of combination therapy Participants will be treated with a combination therapy of adebrelimab, etoposide, and cisplatin before radical cystectomy, with a maximum of 4 cycles.

This study is a prospective open-label, single-arm, single-center clinical study. Patients with neuroendocrine carcinoma who had not previously received standard therapy were enrolled in this study once they have signed the informed consent form (ICF) and been identified as eligible in screening. This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of surufatinib and serplulimab combined with standard chemotherapy (Platinum/Etoposide) in neuroendocrine carcinoma.
