Determine the safety and effectiveness of Lu-177 DOTATOC in adult subjects with somatostatin receptor-expressing Pulmonary, Pheochromocytoma, Paraganglioma, Unknown primary, and Thymus neuroendocrine tumors or any other non-.GEP-NET. The treatment regimen will consist of 4 doses of 200 (±10%) mCi 177Lu-DOTATOC administered at 8+/- 1-week intervals.
This is a phase 1b/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of metronomic combination therapy in subjects with MCC who have progressed on or after anti-PD-L1 therapy.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of veliparib when given together with capecitabine and temozolomide in treating patients with neuroendocrine tumor that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment, has returned after a period of improvement, and cannot be removed by surgery. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
Background: - Ipilimumab is a drug used to treat melanoma that cannot be treated surgically. It targets a molecule found on T-cells in the human immune system. Blocking these molecules on the T-cells might allow the cells to help destroy melanoma cells more effectively. This drug has also been studied in other cancers such as prostate cancer and lung cancer, but not yet in Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). Researchers think therapy like ipilimumab that enhances the immune system may be effective against MCC. They want to study how safe the drug is and its effect on the immune system and tumors. Objectives: - To determine the number of subjects with MCC who take the study drug that remain alive 12 months later. Eligibility: - Adults 18 years and older who have metastatic MCC. Design: - Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. - Participants will receive the study drug 4 times, one dose every 21 days. After the 4 visits, participants will receive a maintenance dose of the drug every 12 weeks until the drug is no longer beneficial. - They will receive the drug through a plastic tube usually inserted in a vein on the arm. - It will take 90 minutes to give each dose. - At all visits, participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. Any tumors on their skin will be measured and photographed. - Every 12 weeks during the study and maintenance period, participants will have a CT scan. Throughout the study and maintenance period, they will have blood and skin tests.
RATIONALE: Antineoplastons are naturally-occurring substances that may also be made in the laboratory. Antineoplastons may inhibit the growth of cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well antineoplaston therapy works in treating patients with neuroendocrine tumor that is metastatic or unlikely to respond to surgery or radiation therapy.
