Filter by:This was a retrospective non-interventional study evaluating the medical records of patients with neuroendocrine tumor (NET) re-treated with lutetium-177 DOTATATE at a single United States institution - the Excel Diagnostics & Nuclear Oncology Center in Houston, Texas. Initial treatment was defined as the initial regimen of up to 4 doses of Lutetium-177 DOTATATE received by each patient; re-treatment was defined as any additional dose(s) of lutetium-177 DOTATATE given after the patient progressed following the initial treatment, with a minimum time interval of 6 months between the initial treatment and re-treatment. The study period was from 01 January 2010 to 30 June 2021. The index date was the date of the first ever treatment with lutetium-177 DOTATATE, and the index re-treatment date was the date of the first re-treatment dose of lutetium-177 DOTATATE received. The index (identification) period was from 01 July 2010 to 31 December 2020 to account for minimum 6-month baseline and follow-up periods. Patients were followed from the index date to the occurrence of one of the following events (whichever came first): 1. Date of death - the date at which a patient was reported in the database as having died 2. Last month active - the last recorded mention of the patient in the dataset 3. End of data window - end of the dataset Patient characteristics were assessed at both the index date and the index re-treatment date. Real-world effectiveness and safety outcomes were also assessed from the index date and from the index re-treatment date.
This is a Phase 1, multiple dose, ascending dose escalation study; to define a MTD/RD and regimen consisting of a first "priming" dose and escalated subsequent doses of XmAb18087; to describe safety and tolerability; to assess PK and immunogenicity; and to preliminarily assess anti-tumor activity of XmAb18087 in subjects with advanced NET or GIST. The study will enroll dosing cohorts to establish a MTD/RD and regimen in subjects with advanced NET or GIST, then enroll additional subjects into separate NET and GIST expansion cohorts to collect additional data on safety and potential efficacy of XmAb18087.
This is a prospective, pilot, single center, open-label study in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumor. Eligible participants will undergo baseline assessments at enrollment. Study participants will receive a one-time administration of 90Y-DOTA-TOC via the hepatic artery. Participants in the correlative sub-study will receive 68Ga-DOTA-TOC concurrent with the 90Y-DOTA-TOC dose, and undergo additional imaging and assessment.
This study aims to investigate if the proportion of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) patients with normal vitamin values can be increased, with vitamin suppletion and a personalized diet, Effects of the intervention will be evaluated by quantitative analysis of blood and urine and questionnaires. The measurements, will be performed at baseline (t=0), after 4 weeks (t=4) and after 18 weeks at end of study (t=18). Furthermore at t=18 a semi-qualitative interview will be performed.
This study aims to investigate if optimal personalized consultation by a dietician for a healthy diet focused on food which contains sufficient vitamins and minerals improves gastrointestinal symptoms as determined by an improved score in the gastrointestinal symptoms of the NET specific EORTC QLQ-GINET21 at end of study.
Patients with a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) frequently suffer from physical as well as psychosocial complaints. Patients may experience various symptoms from tumor burden and secreted hormones by the tumor. They also can have complaints due to their anti-cancer treatment and accompanying side effects. Adequate information is an essential aspect of supportive care. Patients need for information and care remain frequently unnoticed. The aim of the current study is to test the effectiveness of a web-based tailored information and support system to support patients' information and care needs. Key features of this website are patient self-screening of physical and psychosocial problems, tailored patient education on reported problems and self-referral to professional health care. The investigators expect that the website is a highly suitable medium to provide tailored information and support.
Rationale: Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET) have a rare disease. Due to treating patients with a neuroendocrine tumor in 'NET knowledge centers' patients often have to travel long distances for follow-up visits at the outpatient clinic. Patients whose medical condition allows videoconsultation could save time by replacing outpatient clinic visits through videoconsultation for receiving follow-up care. Therefore, in this study we aim to introduce videoconsultation as a alternative for follow-up outpatient clinic visits in NET patients. Objective: The primary objective is to assess if use of videoconsultation in follow-up care for NET patients is feasible. We hypothesize that videoconsultation is a suitable medium for providing follow-up care in NET patients. Secondary objectives are to explore the amount of time videoconsultation takes in comparison with outpatient clinic visits and the acceptability and satisfaction of physicians and patients with using videoconsultation in follow-up care. Study design: The present study is a single-centre prospective feasibility study. Study population: Adult NET patients under surveillance or treatment of the department Medical Oncology at the University Medical Centre Groningen (UMCG) whose medical condition allows videoconsultation will be invited to participate. Intervention: Patient who give informed consent will participate in the study. Participants will receive follow-up care through videoconsultation instead of conventional visits at the outpatient clinic. Main study parameters/endpoints: The main endpoint is the feasibility of videoconsultation for follow-up care in NET patients. We hypothesize that videoconsultation is a suitable medium for providing follow-up care.
This clinical trial studies gallium Ga 68-edotreotide positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) compared with indium In 111 pentetreotide plus contrast-enhanced CT (or MRI) in diagnosing patients with neuroendocrine tumors and other somatostatin receptor positive tumors. Diagnostic procedures, such as gallium Ga 68-edotreotide PET/CT, may help find and diagnose somatostatin receptor positive neuroendocrine tumors. It is not yet known whether Ga 68-edotreotide PET/CT is as effective as indium In 111 pentetreotide plus contrast-enhanced CT (or MRI) in diagnosis and staging of patients with neuroendocrine tumors.
Background Physical as well as psychosocial complaints are frequently present in patients with a neuroendocrine tumor (NET). Adequate information is seen as an essential aspect of supportive care. The aim of the current study is to test the effectiveness of a web-based tailored information and support system targeting patients' information and care needs. Key features of this system are self-screening of physical and psychosocial problems, tailored education on reported problems and self-referral to professional health care. Objective To detect whether a web-based tailored information and support system improves patients' perception and satisfaction of received information. The investigators hypothesize that after having received web-based tailored information and support patients feel more informed and are more satisfied with the received information than when receiving standard care. Study design The present study is a randomized prospective longitudinal experimental multicenter pilot study. In this study, we want to examine the effect sizes on the perception and satisfaction by the patient of received information (primary objective) and secondary objectives after having used web-based tailored information and support. Eligible are newly diagnosed NET-patients (N=40) (diagnosed less than 3 months ago). Patients will be asked to fill out questionnaires at baseline and after 12 weeks, on socio-demographic features (only at baseline), internet use (only at baseline), health care use, patients' perception and satisfaction of received information, distress, quality of life and empowerment (only after 12 weeks). Study population Patients diagnosed with a NET (any type of NET, any phase of disease) who are under treatment at the Department of Medical Oncology in the University Medical Center Groningen or Hospital Medisch Spectrum; twenty will be invited to participate in the study. Intervention During 12 subsequent weeks, a personalized website (with a surname/password) will become available to patients in the experimental group beside the usual standard care. Key features of the website are self-screening, tailored patient education and self-referral. Self-screening will be performed by an online version of the Dutch Distress thermometer (DT) and Problem List (PL). Patients will receive automated feedback on their DT score immediately after test completion together with information regarding problems reported on the PL, options for (self)-help and possibilities for referral to professional care. Contact information will also be available to discuss questions, problems and/or referral needs. Patients may also request a telephone call. Main study endpoint The primary endpoint is to detect an improvement in patients' perception and satisfaction of received information after having received web-based tailored information and support.
Resveratrol has been shown to activate a protein called Notch-1. Signaling of Notch-1 has been shown to prevent tumor cell growth. Resveratrol has also been shown to prevent growth of tumors in mice. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of resveratrol and Notch-1 on neuroendocrine tumor tissue and to examine how people with neuroendocrine tumors who take resveratrol for up to three months tolerate the product.
