Filter by:This study aims to investigate the treatment preferences of patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETS) and nurses who are involved in the care of individuals with NETs. NETs are a type of abnormal growth that can develop in various parts of the body, such as the lungs, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, or other organs. NETs originate from specialized cells called neuroendocrine cells, which are responsible for producing hormones in our bodies. The study focuses on hypothetical preferences regarding the use of two different type of devices for administering Somatostatin analogues (SSAs), which could be used in the treatment of NETs. SSAs work by imitating the actions of a hormone called somatostatin that naturally exists in our bodies. These treatment help to control the symptoms of NETs by blocking the release of hormones from the tumor cells. The devices under consideration are a motorized injector versus a manual injector. Participants in the study will be asked to take part in: 1. An interview based on a draft survey: 60-minute interview over videocall, to examine participants understanding of the online survey; or 2. Final online survey: 30-minute online survey. This involves presenting patients and nurses with different treatment options and asking them to choose their preferred option. By analysing the choices made by participants, researchers can understand which attributes of the injector devices are most important to patients and nurses. Individual participation is limited to the interview based on a draft survey (60 minutes) or the final online survey (30 minutes). No further participation is required beyond this.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of alectinib in participants with Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-positive locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors other than lung cancer.
This trial will test the hypothesis that Telotristat treatment increases the antitumor efficacy of Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate therapy in neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).
Background: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are rare tumors that originate in neuroendocrine cells. NENs can affect almost any part of the body. People with low-grade tumors can live many years. But high-grade tumors can be very aggressive. Researchers want to learn more about this type of cancer. This may help them design better treatments and supportive care studies. Objective: To gain a better understanding of neuroendocrine neoplasms. Eligibility: People starting at age 3 and older who have or are suspected of having NENs and are enrolled in protocol 19C0016, Natural History and Biospecimen Acquisition Study for Children and Adults with Rare Solid Tumors Design: Participants will be screened with questions about their medical history. This may be done over the telephone or in person. Participants medical records, test results, and imaging results will be reviewed. They may have scans and blood tests. They may sign a separate consent form for some of the tests. Participants will complete paper or electronic surveys. The surveys will ask about the effects of cancer on their wellbeing. Participants may give samples of their tumors from previous surgeries or biopsies. These samples will be used to study their tumor genes. Participants will get advice on how to manage their NENs. They will also get recommendations about potential treatment options. Participants home doctors will be contacted every 6 to 12 months. They will give medical data such as imaging and test results. Participants may have follow-up visits at NIH every 6 to 12 months. Participants will contact researchers if there are any changes in their tumor. Participants will be followed on this study for life.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential and feasibility of 18F-metafluorobenzylguanidine (18F-MFBG) positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with neural crest and neuroendocrine tumors.
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.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether standardized implementation of a scripted template for discussing important issues that arise near the end of life improves the care of those who have advanced cancer.
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.
This study will evaluate the clinical response and safety of cone beam computed-tomography guided percutaneous cryoablation in bone metastases from thyroid, adrenal and neuroendocrine tumors in 30 patients.
