Active clinical trials for "Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1"

This phase II trial studies ziv-aflibercept in treating and perfusion computed tomography perfusion imaging in predicting response in patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to other parts of the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Ziv-aflibercept may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Diagnostic procedures, such as computed tomography perfusion, imaging may help measure a patient's response to ziv-aflibercept treatment.

This trial studies how well gallium Ga 68-edotreotide (68Ga-DOTA-TOC) positron emission tomography (PET)/computer tomography (CT) works in imaging participants with neuroendocrine tumors. 68Ga-DOTA-TOC is used as a tracer chemical during PET/CT scans. Diagnostic procedures, such as 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT, may help find and diagnose neuroendocrine tumors.

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.

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.

A case series was built after review of available literature by searching four databases (PubMed, Embase, Medline and Cochrane Library) for observational studies or case reports on routine prophylactic TCT for MEN-1 and the development of thymic carcinoids.

This study is being conducted to identify altered genetic factors that may exist and influence endocrine cancers in unrelated MEN1 families with different cancers. A grading system will be developed for endocrine cancers, including pancreatic cancers, thymus gland cancers, parathyroid disease and MEN1 syndrome as low-risk and high-risk to improve screening and timing of surgery.
