Filter by:The purpose of this Phase II trial will be to define the activity of a VEGF inhibitor bevacizumab, HER1/HER2 inhibitor pertuzumab, and sandostatin for patients with advanced neuroendocrine cancers. In particular, the efficacy of bevacizumab and pertuzumab treatment is of great interest. The primary endpoint of this trial will be response rate. Toxicity and progression-free survival will be obtained and evaluated.
This study is an extension study to the Callisto protocol CP-106. Subjects must have completed all 12 treatment cycles of CP-106 without disease progression as per RECIST criteria,to be eligible to to be enrolled in this study. This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of atiprimod treatment in patients with low to intermediate grade neuroendocrine carcinoma who have metastatic or unresectable local-regional cancer and who have either symptoms (diarrhea, flushing and/or wheezing) despite standard therapy (octreotide) or progression of neuroendocrine tumor(s).
Primary Objectives: - To determine the effect of Avastin on tumor blood flow as determined by functional computed tomography (CT) in patients with low or intermediate grade neuroendocrine carcinoma. - To determine the effect of RAD001 on tumor blood flow as determined by functional CT in patients with low or intermediate grade neuroendocrine carcinoma. - To determine the effect of adding the second agent (Avastin or RAD001) to the first agent (RAD001 or Avastin) on tumor blood flow as determined by functional CT Secondary Objectives: - To determine the clinical activity (objective response rate and progression free survival duration) of Avastin and RAD001 in patients with low or intermediate grade neuroendocrine carcinoma. - To determine the biochemical response rate of Avastin and RAD001 in patients with low or intermediate grade neuroendocrine carcinoma. - To determine the safety and tolerability of Avastin and RAD001 in patients with low or intermediate grade neuroendocrine carcinoma.

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of everolimus in the treatment of advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) not responsive to cytotoxic chemotherapy. All patients were treated with everolimus until either tumor progression was documented using a standard criteria that measures tumor size called Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid tumors (RECIST), or until unacceptable toxicity occurred, or until the patient or investigator requested discontinuation of treatment.
carboplatin and etoposide, followed by maintenance therapy with weekly paclitaxel in patients with poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas. We hope to identify a "standard treatment" for this unusual group of patients who are not usually eligible for clinical trials.
Objectives: Primary endpoint: -Assess the clinical activity of RAD 001 plus depot octreotide as defined by progression free survival (PFS) duration defined by RECIST criteria in treated and untreated patients with metastatic, unresectable low grade neuroendocrine carcinoma. Secondary endpoints: - Assess the progression free survival duration of patients with metastatic, unresectable low grade neuroendocrine carcinoma treated with RAD 001 plus depot octreotide. - Assess the safety of RAD 001 plus depot octreotide in patients with metastatic, unresectable low grade neuroendocrine carcinoma. - To determine the expression/phosphorylation status of the components of the mTOR signaling pathway in the primary tumors, in order to determine whether these markers can be used as predictors of sensitivity to the combination of RAD001 and octreotide. - To determine the effect of the combination of RAD001 and octreotide on the expression and phosphorylation of mTOR's targets in the accessible tumor tissue, in order to identify potential pharmacodynamics markers of response to this drug combination. - To observe the effects of treatment with RAD001 on plasma angiogenic biomarkers.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving drugs in different ways may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well isolated hepatic perfusion with melphalan works in treating patients with primary unresectable liver cancer or liver metastases.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of irinotecan in treating patients who have advanced neuroendocrine tumors.
