Active clinical trials for "Neuroendocrine Tumors"

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the combination of Lanreotide Autogel 120 mg and Temozolomide in patients with progressive gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NET) graded as G1 or G2 (G1/G2). All progressive tumours classified according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST, 1.1).

The study is designed as an open-label, prospective, single arm, multicenter study of everolimus in histologically confirmed, neuroendocrine carcinoma G3 /neuroendocrine tumor G3 after failure of first-line platin-based chemotherapy (open-label pilot study). The aim of this study is to provide a second line therapy to patients with any type of platinum based first line chemotherapy, to gather data on disease control rate and progression free survival.

Study is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SNX-5422 when given in combination with everolimus.

This record combines the results of CRAD001K24133 and CRAD001K24133E1. The purpose of the CRAD001K24133 study was to evaluate the safety profile of everolimus in patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors of pancreatic origin (pNETs) and to provide access of everolimus to this patient population. Everolimus was taken by participants until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, discontinuation from the trial for any other reason, or when it became commercially available for this indication, or until May 30, 2012, whichever came first. Prior to amendment 1, the study enrolled participants with NET of the lung (L-NETs) and gastrointestinal (GI) (GI-NETs) origin. The core study was stopped (per protocol) because everolimus was approved for pNETs. All ongoing patients with pNETs were switched to commercially available everolimus. For GI and lung NETs, everolimus was not approved at the time the core study was stopped. Therefore, patients with GI or lung NETs were not able to switch to commercial drug. To provide study medication access to these patients beyond 30 May 2012, the open label extension study, CRAD001K24133E1, was conducted. In the extension study, RAD001K24133E1, participants with GI or lung NETs who had not progressed during therapy with everolimus in the core study and who had not suffered from intolerable toxicity, were enrolled and treated with everolimus in order to provide data on long-term safety and efficacy. Patients were treated until it became commercially available in the respective indication or until documented tumor progression, unacceptable toxicity, any other reason or until study end on 31 May 2017, whichever came first.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the study drug, Pasireotide LAR can shrink or slow the growth of Metastatic Neuroendocrine Carcinomas. The safety of this drug will also be studied. The patient's physical state, changes in the size of the tumor, and laboratory findings taken while on-study will help us decide if Pasireotide LAR is safe and effective.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well everolimus and octreotide acetate with or without bevacizumab works in treating patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors that cannot be removed by surgery and have spread nearby or to other places in the body. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Octreotide acetate may interfere with and slow the growth of tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab and everolimus also may stop the growth of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether giving everolimus and octreotide acetate together is more effective with or without bevacizumab in treating pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

The purpose of this research study is to find out more about the combination of RAD001 and sorafenib such as the safest dose to use, the side effects it may cause, and if the drug is effective for treating neuroendocrine tumors.

To evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of RAD001 as monotherapy for first-line treatment of patients with metastatic papillary carcinoma of the kidney.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety of the combination of SOM230 and RAD001, as well as determine the highest dose of this combination that can be given to people safely. SOM230 is an investigational drug that is similar to Sandostatin LAR. Sandostatin is an approved drug for the use of treating symptoms of neuroendocrine tumors. SOM230 has shown to be effective in patients who have become resistant to Sandostatin and may also stop cancer cells from growing. RAD001 is an investigational drug that also may stop cancer cells from growing.

Well differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas have low proliferative activity and conventional chemotherapy is not recommended. Metronomic chemotherapy, i.e. the frequent administration of cytotoxic drugs at low doses, has demonstrated antiangiogenetic properties. Since well differentiated NE carcinomas are highly vascular, there is a rationale for testing metronomic chemotherapy in this clinical setting. A phase II study was designed to test the activity of protracted 5-fluorouracil (5FU) infusion plus long-acting release (LAR) octreotide for patients with neuroendocrine carcinoma.
