Active clinical trials for "Neuroendocrine Tumors"

The present study is designed to collect safety/tolerability data and explore the efficacy of RAD001 in advanced pulmonary neuroendocrine tumor in Chinese patients.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of temozolomide and pazopanib hydrochloride when given together and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for tumor growth. Giving temozolomide together with pazopanib hydrochloride may be an effective treatment for patients with PNET.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, streptozocin, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether giving capecitabine together with streptozocin is more effective with or without cisplatin in treating neuroendocrine tumors. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying giving capecitabine together with streptozocin to see how well it works compared with or without cisplatin in treating patients with unresectable or metastatic neuroendocrine tumors.

The primary aim of this study is to assess which method of lanreotide Autogel administration patients with neuroendocrine tumours prefer - self/partner administrations or healthcare provided administrations. The study will also assess if self/partner administration can be performed without loss of efficacy and with a preserved safety profile. The impact of self/partner administration on resource utilisation and costs will be studied. In addition, we will also assess the healthcare provider's experience of the two administration practices.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness of AMG 479 against carcinoid and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. AMG 479 is an antibody that is made in the laboratory. Antibodies are highly specific proteins produced by the body's immune system that recognize foreign substances in the body. AMG 479 has been used in other research studies and information from those other research studies suggests that AMG 479 may help to prevent the growth of some neuroendocrine tumors. The observed antitumor activity of AMG 479, together with the current limited treatment options available for patients with neuroendocrine tumors, warrant further investigation of AMG 479 in this patient population.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effectiveness and side effects of lithium treatment for subjects with low-grade neuroendocrine tumors.

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and bad) pemetrexed has on patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors.

This is a study using sunitinib for patients ending treatment on a previous sunitinib malate protocol to continue to receive sunitinib. The patient must have been enrolled in one of the following studies: A6181030, A6181064, A6181078, A6181087, A6181094, A6181107, A6181108, A6181110, A6181111, A6181112, A6181113, A6181120, A6181126 and A6181170. Other Pfizer sponsored sunitinib studies may be included in the future.

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 study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of lanreotide Autogel® 120 mg administered every 14 days in subjects with grade 1 or 2, metastatic or locally advanced, unresectable pancreatic or intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) once they have progressed on the standard dose of lanreotide Autogel® 120 mg every 28 days.
