Filter by:In this study the investigators aim to examine the role that fibrosis plays in heart conditions such as aortic stenosis , chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity and carcinoid syndrome . Fibrosis is a common final result following any injury to the heart muscle and the investigators aim to identify this process early and in its active state. This will be examined by using a radiotracer 68Ga-FAPI or 18F-AlF-FAPI and PET-MRI or PET-CT.
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 investigation is to see if the TRICENTO Valved Stent Graft implant reduces tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and improves the symptoms and quality of life in 15 participants with carcinoid heart disease, and who are not able to have a new valve via a surgical procedure.
This trial studies the use of a special type of computed (CT) scan called dual energy CT in detecting gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors. CT is an imaging technique that uses x-rays and a computer to create images of areas inside the body. Dual energy computed tomography is a technique used during routine CT scans to help obtain and process the image after the scan is complete. Doctors want to learn if dual energy computed tomography can help improve the detection of carcinoid tumors during routine CT scans.
This phase II trial studies the effect of retifanlimab and telotristat ethyl in treating patients with neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and carcinoid syndrome. Retifanlimab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Telotristat ethyl is a drug used to reduce side effects of carcinoid syndrome. Giving retifanlimab and telotristat ethyl may help to control neuroendocrine tumors in patients who also have carcinoid syndrome.
The NET-PACS trial is a Prospective Assessment of patients with neuroendocrine tumors and current or prior history of Carcinoid Syndrome or diarrhea undergoing peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with or without telotristat ethyl. The main goal of the study is to demonstrate the feasibility of serial in-depth assessment of patients with neuroendocrine tumors and current or prior history of carcinoid syndrome or diarrhea undergoing treatment with PRRT using telotristat ethyl compared to placebo. We aim to report and describe from a patient's perspective the multi-faceted impact of carcinoid syndrome in patients with NETs and the changes on treatment while getting PRRT using telotristat ethyl compared to placebo.
This is a multi-centric prospective interventional study in which patients with a symptomatic GEP-NET will receive octreotide LAR every 2, 3 or 4 weeks. The basal dose and the dose adaptation will be left at the discretion of the investigator depending on the rate of symptom control. Dose increase up to doses of 60 mg octreotide every 4 weeks, or increase of frequency up to 30 mg every 2 weeks can be done to obtain control of carcinoid symptoms, defined by at least a 50% decrease of the mean number of bowel movements per day and the total number of flushes over 7 days AND a maximum frequency of less than 4 bowel movements a day. If only one symptom is present, analysis will be done for that symptom only: refer to table in statistical analysis The concentration of serum octreotide level will be realized with LCMS/MS following the method of Capron & Wallemacq. Each blood sample should be taken 4 times per year just before the next injection of Octreotide LAR.
This is an open-label phase II basket study evaluating the ability of enterade® to reduce bowel frequency in neuroendocrine tumor (NET) patients with carcinoid syndrome and non-carcinoid syndrome.
Randomised trial to assess progression of carcinoid heart disease in patients treated with Lutathera therapy compared to best supportive care.
Primary Objective: To assess how an amino acid based medical food (Enterade®) helps maintain the intestine's ability to absorb and retain fluids, leading to a reduction in diarrhea due to Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET) and/or Carcinoid Syndrome. This improvement in the absorption will be assessed in part by evaluating changes in average daily stool frequency from baseline in patients receiving Enterade®. Each subject serves as his or her own control. Secondary Objectives: - To assess subject reported health-related quality of life in subjects before and after compound administration. - To characterize the side effect profile and tolerability of Enterade® as measured by the number of total 8-oz Enterade® bottles consumed throughout the trial, and average drinks per day. - To evaluate changes in serum electrolytes before and after administration of Eenterade®. - To assess intravenous fluid requirement and/or hospitalization for dehydration secondary to diarrhea between control observation period and active Enterade® period. - To evaluate difference in utilization of standard-of-care anti-diarrheal medications between control observation period and Enterade® period. - To compare subjective feeling of bloating and flatulence before and after administration of Enterade®. - To evaluate changes in patient weight before and after administration of Enterade®.
