Filter by:To determine the response rate of pazopanib when administered as monotherapy in patients with unresectable neuroendocrine tumor.
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 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.
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.
We will study the total gastrointestinal transit time (GITT), gastric emptying and small intestine motility in NET patients before and after treated with somatostatin analogues and compare these to healthy subjects. For this we will use radio-opaque markers and the newly developed Motility Tracking System (MTS). Hypothesis: Patients with NET and carcinoid syndrome have decreased GITT, gastric emptying and small bowel transit time and an increase in phase III MMC activity compared to healthy subjects. Treatment with somatostatin analogues increase transit times and decrease phase III MMC activity and improves the clinical symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to decide if a medicine that slows growth of new blood vessels can be give after the embolization procedure to prevent or delay new growth of blood vessels to tumors.
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.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good or bad, that thalidomide and temodar have on patients with neuroendocrine tumors.
This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib tosylate works in treating patients with progressive metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. Sorafenib tosylate 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.
