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 is a Pilot study for evaluating the feasibility, security and efficacy of the use of Cypropheptadine, an antihistaminic and antiserotonin drug, as an adjunct of the standardized treatment in a population of patient who are hospitalized and requiring oxygen therapy for COVID-19.
This randomized controled open label clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of Cyproheptadine on the clinical course of patients presenting a severe SARS-COV 2 pneumonia.
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.
