Filter by:Determine the 6-month progression free survival (PFS) rate associated with cixutumumab in combination with depot octreotide acetate (octreotide) in participants with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors.
This is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter, efficacy and safety study of quarfloxin in patients with low or intermediate grade neuroendocrine cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the rate of clinical benefit response to quarfloxin treatment including the reduction in secretory symptoms of flushing and/or diarrhea or the reduction quantifiable hormones or other biochemical tumor markers.
The purpose of this study, is to assess the safety and local tolerability of the long-term use of Somatuline Autogel when administered by patients or their partners ("Home Injection Group") and the safety and local tolerability in patients receiving their injection from a healthcare professional (HCP) ("Reference Group").
The purpose of this study is to establish a neuroendocrine tumor registry. A registry is a collection of information. To create this registry, the investigators would like to get information, blood and tumor samples from people with neuroendocrine tumors. By collecting this information and material, the investigators are hoping to learn more about the genetic causes of neuroendocrine tumors. All of this will help us to better understand neuroendocrine cancer, so the investigators can find better ways to treat and diagnose this disease. DNA will be taken from the blood samples and will be used in future studies. This will be an important resource from which the investigators can study genes that may be related to a higher risk of neuroendocrine tumors. The information collected will include medical information, family history of cancer and your answers to questions about how the cancer affects quality of life.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Infusing doxorubicin beads into the liver, and blocking blood flow to the tumor, may keep doxorubicin near the tumor and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects of doxorubicin beads and to see how well they work in treating patients with unresectable liver metastases from neuroendocrine tumors.
Subjects will be screened to determine OctreoScan® uptake. And upon meeting the eligibility criteria, 90 subjects will complete a symptom assessment scale at baseline and throughout the study at specific time points. Actual treatment will consist of three six-week cycles of a fixed total dose of 13.3 GBq (360 mCi) of 90Y-SMT487. The total dose will be divided into three equal doses and administered as a single activity of 4.4 GBq (120 mCi) of 90Y-SMT487 once every six weeks for three cycles. An amino acid infusion will be administered along with each dose. Long-term follow up will occur at 6 and 12 months after Day 1/ Cycle 1. Survival will be assessed every six months.
To evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of RAD001 as monotherapy for first-line treatment of patients with metastatic papillary carcinoma of the kidney.
F18-FDG is the widely used PET tracer in the routine practice of oncologic disease imaging using the technology of PET-CT. However, FDG-avidity is a characteristic of the individual tumor. There are various types of human malignancies, which are not taking FDG in access. In these cases FDG is not a sensitive tracer of imaging. In search for other tumor PET tracers, C11-Acetate has been shown recently in a few early studies to have a potential value in imaging of non-FDG-avid tumors. The purpose of the current study is to assess the role of 11C-acetate PET in various tumors, which often are not detected by 18F-FDG and were not widely assessed until now.
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.
This research involves the study of neuroendocrine tumors in order to better understand how the disease grows and spreads. This study requires will use tissue collected from from biopsies performed during your regular medical care (i.e. tissue leftover after your diagnosis has been made) and/or blood and urine samples. This study may lead to the development of special materials that could be used, in the future, to treat neuroendocrine tumors or to follow the response of neuroendocrine tumors to treatment
