Active clinical trials for "Neuroendocrine Tumors"

Study design and rationale: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs ) represent a heterogeneous group of malignancies, which differ in terms of behavio r and prognosis. Most of t hem are advanced at diagnosis t herefore systemic treatment is proposed. While over the last years many advanced have been made especially in terms of molecular targeted therapies (MTA) like everolimus and sunitinib, chemotherapy i n NENs still represents a controversial question. Temozolomide has been reported to be active alone or in combination with other drugs in neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) from different origin. So far there is not universal agreement on the right setting an d way of administration of this therapy. Objective: This is a multicentric phase II prospective interventional study to evaluate the clinical features of patients, who are judged unfit for systemic treatments, consecutively treated with a metronomic Temozolomide chemotherapy schedule in Italian centers with expertise in NEN and to explore also the methylation status of O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) and the polymorphism of thymidylate synthase (TS) by pyrosequencing in those patients of which tissues were available. This study will allow a better understanding of the role of metronomic temozolomide chemotherapy in NENs patients and help clinicians in answering some of the outstanding questions on their management. Method: Prospective analysis of clinical data of patients unfit for chemotherapy consecutively treated with metronomic temozolomide regimen in Italian centers with expertise in clinical and research NEN activity, for one year from the start of the accrual. Planning of study: Data from NENs patients of any age treated at these centers will be retrieved by searching the hospital information system and analysed. Eligible study population: Patients with histological diagnosis of low grade advanced NEN treated unfit for systemic treatments, for one year from the start of the accrual. Endpoints and evaluation parameters: Description of efficacy and toxicity of Temozolomide regimen in patients with advanced NENs with different primary sites unfit for systemic treatment and explored the pote ntial correlation with clinical/biological factors.

This phase 1 dose-escalation study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of talazoparib in combination with 177Lu-DOTA-Octreotate peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) in patients with metastatic pancreatic or midgut neuroendocrine tumour (NET).

This is a first-in-human open-label Phase 1/2a study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary clinical activity of 23ME-00610 given by intravenous infusion in patients with advanced solid malignancies who have progressed on all available standard therapies

The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of chidamide combined with etoposide and cisplatin/carboplatin in the first-line treatment of advanced extrapulmonary neuroendocrine carcinoma.

Single-arm, monocentric trial to assess safety and immunological efficacy of adjuvant vaccination with autologous dendritic cells loaded with autologous tumour homogenate after curative resection for stage IV rare cancers (In Head/Neck tumors (H&N), NEuroendocrine Tumors (NET) and Soft Tissue Sarcomas (STS).

This is a Phase II study to determine the efficacy of SBRT to treat liver metastases in patients with Colorectal Adenocarcinoma, Carcinoma of the Anal Canal and Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors that are not amenable to surgery. Patients should have no evidence of extra-hepatic disease or have disease that is planned to be treated with curative intent. Therefore, SBRT is being considered as a potentially curative procedure.

Patients with the Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome are genetically predisposed for developping multiple pancreatic neuro-endocrine tumours (pNET). The management of small (pNET) in both MEN1 and sporadic cases, pose a major clinical challenge. At present, pancreatic surgery is the only curative treatment but it is associated with high morbidity. To reduce the morbidity ascosiated with surgery and thereby potentially improve quality of life for MEN1 patients introduction of less invasive techniques for treatment of pNET is important. High-dose-high precision MR-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) holds promise as a new less invasive treatment option for pNET. The aim of this study is to assess efficiacy and safety of MRgRT for treatment of pNET in MEN1 patients.

This is an Open-Label Phase I/II Study of daily cabozantinib plus lanreotide every 4 w eeks to treat advanced G1-2 gastroentero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (GEP-NET) patients who failed to one line or more than one line of small molecule kinase inhibitor or well-differentiated (W-D) G3 GEP-NET who failed to one line of small molecule kinase inhibitor or chemotherapy.

This phase Ib trial is to find out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of peposertib when given together with lutetium Lu 177 dotatate in treating patients with neuroendocrine tumors. Peposertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell formation, so as to help block the formation of growths that may become cancer. Radioactive drugs, such as lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, may deliver radiation directly to tumor cells and not harm normal cells. Adding peposertib to lutetium Lu 177 dotatate may kill more tumor cells.

Background: Lung cancers with EGFR mutations may develop resistance to therapies targeting this protein by evolving/being transformed into small cell or neuroendocrine cancers. There are no standard treatments for it. Researchers want to see if a new combination of drugs can help. Objective: To see if the combination of durvalumab and olaparib will cause tumors to shrink. Eligibility: Adults age 18 and older who had EGFR-mutated non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) that was treated and now transformed to SCLC or another neuroendocrine tumor. Design: Participants will be screened under a separate protocol. They may have a tumor biopsy. Participants will have a physical exam. They will have a review of their symptoms, their medicines, and their ability to do their normal activities. They will have blood tests. They will have an electrocardiogram to evaluate their heart. Participants will have a computed tomography (CT) scan, a series of x-rays taken of parts of the body. Participants will get durvalumab on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle. It is given through a small plastic tube that is put in an arm vein. They will take olaparib by mouth twice every day. They will keep a medicine diary. Participants will take the study drugs until their disease gets worse or they have unacceptable side effects. About 30 days after they stop taking the study drugs, participants will have a follow-up visit. Then they will be contacted every 6 months for the rest of their life....
