Filter by:This is a study using sunitinib for patients ending treatment on a previous sunitinib malate protocol to continue to receive sunitinib. The patient must have been enrolled in one of the following studies: A6181030, A6181064, A6181078, A6181087, A6181094, A6181107, A6181108, A6181110, A6181111, A6181112, A6181113, A6181120, A6181126 and A6181170. Other Pfizer sponsored sunitinib studies may be included in the future.
RATIONALE: AMG 706 and octreotide 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. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well AMG 706 and octreotide work in treating patients with low-grade neuroendocrine tumors.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and bad) pemetrexed has on patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy works as first-line therapy in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic neuroendocrine tumors of the duodenum or pancreas that cannot be removed by surgery.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether everolimus 10 mg / day added to treatment with depot octreotide prolongs progression free survival compared to treatment with octreotide alone in patients with advanced carcinoid tumor.
Given the lack of other viable treatment options for metastatic neuroendocrine tumors, contrasted with our positive anecdotal experience, and the relative tolerability of the treatment regimen for colorectal cancer patients, we propose a single-institution phase II trial investigating the efficacy of capecitabine, oxaliplatin and bevacizumab for patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of erlotinib hydrochloride when given together with cetuximab and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer, head and neck cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or colorectal cancer. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Erlotinib hydrochloride and cetuximab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving erlotinib hydrochloride together with cetuximab may kill more tumor cells.
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.
This single center, open-label study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Panzem (2-methoxyestradiol, 2ME2) Nanocrystal Dispersion (NCD) administered orally with recombinant human monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor (bevacizumab) administered intravenously, in patients with locally advanced or metastatic carcinoid tumors.
To evaluate, in patients with progressive neuroendocrine tumours who are not eligible to be treated with either surgery or chemotherapy at the moment of study inclusion, the efficacy of lanreotide Autogel in tumour growth stabilization.
