Active clinical trials for "Insulinoma"

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of veliparib when given together with capecitabine and temozolomide in treating patients with neuroendocrine tumor that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment, has returned after a period of improvement, and cannot be removed by surgery. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine and temozolomide, 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.

This study is to assess if personalized peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-DOTATOC results in fewer adverse events than standard PRRT. Subjects will be randomized to either receive personalized or standard PRRT. Personalized PRRT will be determined based on dosimetry calculations after the first cycle. In addition comparisons, will be made with progression-free survival, serial CT imaging, ctDNA, and quality of life questionnaires. Subjects will be followed for 5 years or until they have progression and are switched to another systemic treatment (not including treatment with somatostatin analogues).

Insulinoma: Insulinoma are rare, small insulin secreting neuroendocrine tumors. The only curative approach is the surgical excision. The preoperative detection remains a challenge. A non-invasive, highly sensitive tool in localizing the insulinomas would be appreciated in the preoperative work-up of these patients. To this aim Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) imaging (Single Photon Emission Computer Tomography co-registered with a CT; SPECT/CT) could be a convenient tool. The possibly more sensitive approach of targeting GLP-1R using Positron emission tomography (PET/CT) methodology has not been investigated in patients so far.

In order to improve the sensitivity and specificity of pre-operative imaging localization of foci in adult endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia (AHH) we aim to evaluate a novel promising imaging compound targeting the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R), 68Ga-NODAGA-exendin 4. With the currently used imaging techniques, only about 70-80% of insulin producing pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (IPPNET) can be successfully visualized. Therefore, we propose to compare GLP-1R PET imaging to the standard imaging techniques in patients scheduled for surgical removal of the tumour. These highly relevant data will allow us to interpret the benefits of GLP-1R-imaging over other imaging techniques for the diagnosis of IPPNET in AHH patients. Since pre-operative localization of foci in AHH remains challenging and frequently still leading to futile surgery or unnecessary partial pancreatectomy, a more sensitive and specific imaging technique would be of great value.

This is a small controlled pilot study to assess the effect of subcutaneous pasireotide on preventing hypoglycemia due to hyperinsulinism, including congenital hyperinsulinism and insulinoma.

This phase II trial studies how well dovitinib lactate works in treating patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Dovitinib lactate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

The laser tissue welding device is intended for use in patients requiring sealing of the pancreas after partial pancreatectomy, and including those patients who are fully heparinized or have hemodilutional coagulation failure. The hypothesis is that the laser tissue welding device is safe and effective in sealing the pancreas, thereby decreasing the blood loss (operative and post-operative), and pancreatic juice leakage for patients when the Laser Tissue Welding device is used after pancreatic resection.

The present study aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of EUS-guided ethanol ablation of an insulinoma.

This will be a prospective single-arm before-and-after clinical trial in which raw corn starch (RCS) will be first applied on patients with unoperated insulinoma. Nutritional intervention with supplementation of RCS will be initiated in 20 patients with suspected insulinoma to improve their hypoglycemia before the surgery. Duration of nutritional intervention, fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, weight change, BMI and other metabolic indices will be recorded and compared before and after the intervention.
