Active clinical trials for "Neuroendocrine Tumors"

Patients who have undergone curative treatment may be at risk of relapse. This study will collect, annotate, and sequence biospecimens (blood, stool, and tissue) from patients across different tumor types to detect molecular residual disease (MRD) before metastases become radiographically or clinically detectable. This will allow for early cancer interception, and hopefully prolong relapse-free survival across tumor types.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the financial toxicity reported by Italian patients affected by GEP-NEN during the first year of treatment after diagnosis and its correlations with patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and quality of life (QoL).

In this work, the investigators count through the integrated multi-omics analysis to identify different tumor subgroups in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and carcinomas regardless of their grade and stage. To achieve this, they will resort to the use of next-generation sequencing approaches (RNAseq, then use of MCP Counter for the absolute quantification of the eight populations of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment), alterations in epigenetics with study of the methylome by MeDIP, ChIPseq, telomere (ALT) study, as well as correlation with peripheral blood neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and immunohistochemistry data such as Ki67, p53, Rb, DAXX, ATRX, PDL1, immune cell labeling. This will be done on frozen or paraffin material. This work will provide a more complete biological picture of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and carcinomas.

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the beneficial value of complementary surgery for appendiceal neuro-endocrine tumours in children. .

A huge number of initiatives about COVID-19 are ongoing and a growing number of publications regard the correlation between cancer patients in general and SARS-CoV-2 infection. Although it has been reported that cancer patients are at a higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 complications, data collection about cases of NEN patients SARS-CoV-2 positive are scattered and related to single countries or institutions. Because of that and due to the rarity and heterogeneity of NEN it will be hard to have homogeneous, reliable, representative and reproducible data for drawing adequate clinical recommendations about NEN patients and COVID-19. Therefore we propose a global collection of data through an international database to describe and monitor NEN patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. This retrospective/prospective collection of data can create a solid basis to check frequence of events, clinical management, clinical outcome, demographic, geographical, clinical and biological correlations. This will be helpful for the clinical and scientific community to get reliable information for a homogeneous clinical management of NEN patients during COVID-19 pandemic. The main goal is to get the as wide as possible representativity of the world situation.

This is a single center, open label, phase I study involving grade I-III gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, consisting of a dose escalation Part A followed by an expansion cohort Part B. On Part A Patients will be treated with daily oral everolimus. Fosbretabulin will be administered IV either q3 weekly or q weekly based on PO CRM cohort. Part B: Once the investigators have established an MTD in Part A, the investigators will be treating 15 more patients at that dose combination. The primary and secondary objectives of the expansion cohort will be similar to Part A of the study, i.e., to establish a safety profile of the experimental drug combination and to collect and assess efficacy data. Patients will be treated with concurrent everolimus and fosbretabulin for 12 weeks.

This is an open-label, single arm, multi-center Phase II trial of entinostat given as a 5 mg oral dose every week (days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of a 4-week cycle) in patients with relapsed or refractory abdominal neuroendocrine (NE) tumors. Patients will continue on treatment until disease progression or intolerable toxicity occurs.

This European, prospective, multicentre, double-blind randomised study will evaluate the effect of lanreotide (120 mg every 28 days until disease progression) versus placebo in patients with metastatic/locally advanced, non-resectable, duodeno-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours.

Study to assess the long-term safety of LUTATHERA for the labeled indication (SmPC/USPI).

This randomized phase II trial studies how well everolimus works in treating patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors metastatic to the liver previously treated with surgery. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving everolimus after surgery may kill any tumors cells that remain.
