Filter by: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.
The primary hypothesis of this study is that panitumumab, an inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), is an effective treatment for carcinoid syndrome in people who fail or do not adequately respond to octreotide or other supportive therapies.
