Active clinical trials for "Neuroendocrine Tumors"

This is an open-label phase II basket study evaluating the ability of enterade® to reduce bowel frequency in neuroendocrine tumor (NET) patients with carcinoid syndrome and non-carcinoid syndrome.

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.

Determine the safety and effectiveness of Lu-177 DOTATOC in adult subjects with somatostatin receptor-expressing Pulmonary, Pheochromocytoma, Paraganglioma, Unknown primary, and Thymus neuroendocrine tumors or any other non-.GEP-NET. The treatment regimen will consist of 4 doses of 200 (±10%) mCi 177Lu-DOTATOC administered at 8+/- 1-week intervals.

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).

The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of Al18F-NOTA-octreotide PET imaging in comparison with the current golden standard, 68Ga-DOTA-somatostatin analog PET, in neuroendocrine tumor patients.

This clinical trial studies gallium Ga 68-edotreotide positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) compared with indium In 111 pentetreotide plus contrast-enhanced CT (or MRI) in diagnosing patients with neuroendocrine tumors and other somatostatin receptor positive tumors. Diagnostic procedures, such as gallium Ga 68-edotreotide PET/CT, may help find and diagnose somatostatin receptor positive neuroendocrine tumors. It is not yet known whether Ga 68-edotreotide PET/CT is as effective as indium In 111 pentetreotide plus contrast-enhanced CT (or MRI) in diagnosis and staging of patients with neuroendocrine tumors.

Neuroendocrine cancer is an unusual disease and often goes undetected by routine imaging. The 68Ga-DOTATATE PET scan is a new generation of scans that might have improved sensitivity and resolution specifically for neuroendocrine tumors. The investigators will scan people with this cancer and compare it to other conventional imaging methods to see if it improves patient care.

RATIONALE: Antineoplastons are naturally-occurring substances that may also be made in the laboratory. Antineoplastons may inhibit the growth of cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well antineoplaston therapy works in treating patients with neuroendocrine tumor that is metastatic or unlikely to respond to surgery or radiation therapy.

Single centre prospective cohort phase III study of 18F-DOPA PET/CT imaging in specific patient populations: Pediatric patients with congenital hyperinsulinism Pediatric patients with neuroblastoma Pediatric or Adult patients with suspected extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor Adult patients with a clinical suspicion of Parkinson's disease Pediatric or Adult patients with primary brain tumors This study will evaluate the biodistribution and safety of 18F-DOPA produced at the Edmonton PET Centre.

This is a Phase I/II peptide receptor radiotherapy (PRRT) trial of 177Lu-DOTA-OCTREOTATE in children and adolescents with neuroendocrine tumors and pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma.
