Filter by:This study aims to determine the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and recommended Phase 3 dose (RP3D) of RYZ101 in Part 1, and the safety, efficacy, and PK of RYZ101 compared with investigator-selected standard of care (SoC) therapy in Part 2 in subjects with inoperable, advanced, well-differentiated, somatostatin receptor expressing (SSTR+) gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) that have progressed following treatment with Lutetium 177-labelled somatostatin analogue (177Lu-SSA) therapy, such as 177Lu-DOTATATE or 177Lu-DOTATOC (177Lu-DOTATATE/TOC), or 177Lu-high affinity [HA]-DOTATATE.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and exploratory dose response of paltusotine treatment in subjects with carcinoid syndrome. This study consists of a Randomized Treatment Phase followed by an Open-Label Extension (OLE) Phase.
The purpose of this study is to see if the use of 68Gallium- positron emission tomography and computer tomography (PET/CT) scans along with NETSPOT® (Advanced Accelerator Applications USA, Inc.) can better define the localization of Neuroendocrine tumors enhancing the surgical removal of Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are generally slow growing, but some can be aggressive and resistant to treatment. Compared to healthy cells, the surface of these tumor cells has a greater number of special molecules called somatostatin receptors (SSTR). Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy and conventional imaging are used to detect NETs. This study proposes 68Gallium(68Ga)-DOTATOC positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is superior to current imaging techniques. The goal is to evaluate the safety and sensitivity of 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT at detecting NETs and other tumors with over-expression of somatostatin receptors.
Neuroendocrine tumors are derived from the neuroendocrine system of the gastroenteropancreatic and bronchopulmonary tract systems. Treatment options include surgery, medical and ablative therapies as well as peptide-receptor radionuclide therapy. Survival is linked to early and accurate diagnoses or to the effective detection of disease recurrence and/or treatment failure. One challenge is to develop accurate non-invasive blood tests that can detect neuroendocrine tumor activity. A second challenge is to evaluate the effectiveness of molecular biomarkers in the natural history of this disease. RegisterNET registry aims at collecting data and blood samples from patients presenting with a NET in the USA. Data will be entered prospectively and anonymized after informed consent. All physicians who treat neuroendocrine tumor patients are invited to participate to the registry. Data will be evaluated within regular time frames, focusing on diagnostic accuracy for biomarkers in the different types and grades of tumors, treatment modalities and patient outcomes (e.g. disease recurrence and survival), thereby contributing to an understanding of the role of biomarkers in tumor management.
Neuroendocrine cancer is an unusual disease and often goes undetected by routine imaging. The 68Ga-DOTATATE PET Scan is a novel scanning method that may have improved sensitivity and resolution specifically for neuroendocrine tumors. Patients with neuroendocrine tumors will be imaged with this agent and it will be compared to conventional imaging methods to determine the safety and efficacy of this radiopharmaceutical.
The purpose of this protocol is to allow continued treatment with conatumumab and/or ganitumab, with or without chemotherapy, to participants who completed a separate Amgen-sponsored conatumumab or ganitumab study without disease progression whose previous studies were closed.
Background: - Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) is a rare condition in which one or more tumors (gastrinomas), usually in the small intestine or pancreas, produce high levels of the hormone gastrin. High levels of gastrin can cause several problems: (1) excessive growth of stomach cells; (2) excessive production of stomach acid, which can cause stomach or intestinal ulcers; and (3) growth of an unusual type of stomach tumor called a type II gastric (i.e., stomach) carcinoid. Patients with ZES suffer mainly from the effects of severe ulcer disease, but gastrinomas and gastric carcinoids both have the potential to spread throughout the body. Gastric surgery is the usual treatment for problematic carcinoids. YF476, an experimental medication, may block the effects of gastrin, which may reduce the need for surgery as well as provide better control of stomach acid in patients with ZES. Researchers are interested in studying YF476 in individuals with ZES who also have or may develop type II gastric carcinoids. Objectives: - To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of YF476 in reducing the size, number, or significance of type II gastric carcinoids or their precancerous cells. - To study the effects of YF476 on stomach acid production. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and type II gastric carcinoids or their precancerous cells. Design: - This study will involve a screening visit and five study visits. - Participants will be screened with a physical examination and medical history, as well as blood tests. - At the first study visit, participants will have an initial measurement of stomach acid production (gastric acid analysis) and an upper endoscopy to collect biopsies of esophagus, stomach, and small intestine tissue. Participants will receive YF476 to take by mouth once per day with food, and will be asked to keep a diary of medication doses, changes in symptoms, and any possible new symptoms or problems. - After 3 weeks, participants will have another study visit with a physical examination, blood and urine tests, and questions about current condition and any side effects. - After another 3 weeks (6 weeks after starting YF476), participants will have another gastric acid analysis and an upper endoscopy with biopsies. Participants may be eligible to receive a higher dose of YF476 if the endoscopy and biopsies show no significant change (decreased size and/or number of carcinoids or precancerous cells). If the stomach is completely normal at this visit on endoscopy and biopsy, participants will stop taking the study drug. - After another 6 weeks (12 weeks after starting YF476), participants will have another physical examination, blood and urine tests, and an upper endoscopy with biopsies. YF476 will be stopped. Participants who show improvement after treatment will have a final followup visit. Participants who do not show improvement will not have the followup visit, but may be asked to return for additional clinic visits to check for side effects from YF476. - The final visit will be a followup visit 12 weeks after the end of treatment with YF476. Participants who responded to YF476 will have blood tests and an upper endoscopy with biopsies.
The goal of this clinical research study is to study the safety of giving larger daily doses of proton radiation therapy than the standard dose levels given to treat lung cancer. Researchers want to find the highest daily dose of proton radiation that can be given without having to stop therapy due to side effects.
This study will evaluate members in families with a history of small bowel carcinoid cancer to study the natural history of those family members that have the disease, determine ways to improve early detection by performing surveillance on those at risk but without disease and to identify the gene(s) that may cause the tumors. Familial carcinoid tumors usually originate in hormone-producing cells that line the small intestine or other cells of the digestive tract. The tumors are slow-growing and usually take many years before they cause symptoms. It is known that these tumors occur more often in some families and are then passed from one generation to the next by inherited genes. Members of families, including all siblings and offspring in which two or more immediate blood relatives have had small bowel carcinoid tumors are eligible for this study. In some cases unaffected spouses of family members diagnosed with carcinoid cancer are also requested to participate by donating a sample of blood only. Participants undergo a medical evaluation every 3 years during a 3- to 5-day hospital stay at the NIH Clinical Center. All participants have a personal and family medical history obtained and undergo a physical examination, blood and urine tests. People who already have a small bowel carcinoid tumor or are at risk of developing a carcinoid tumor have some or all of the following procedures to determine the presence of carcinoid tumor and its (omit next two words- location or) spread to other areas of the body: - Video Capsule Endoscopy: Visualization of the gastrointestinal tract by ingesting a disposable, "vitamin-pill sized" video capsule that has its own camera and light source. - CT of the chest abdomen and pelvis with oral and IV contrast : X-ray examination of the chest, abdominal and pelvis organs. - 18 FDOPA Positron emission tomography (PET) with CT for localization: Nuclear imaging scan to look at tumor activity. - MRI Liver with contrast - to determine if disease has spread to liver - Gallium 68 PET/CT-limited to individuals that have residual tumor. - Clinical and research blood work Should mid gut carcinoid tumors be found every participant will be assisted in determine what the best course of treatment will be for them.
