Filter by:The purpose of this study is to learn about the feasibility and safety of using Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) before and after surgical removal of a tumor. PRRT treatment is based on the administration of a radioactive product, 177-Lu DOTA-0-Tyr3-Octreotate (Lutathera®) and its use before and after surgery is thought to increase the overall survival benefit for patients with SSTR-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors GEP-NETs.
This a prospective real-world navigation study using tumor DNA sequencing technology to sequence genes of previously treated and refractory gastrointestinal tumors, which are generally considered to be highly heterogeneous and complex, to screen potential molecular targeted drugs for individualized treatment. This study may provide feasibility and response information, which will be the basis for designing better randomized trials, which may change the pattern of cancer treatment. If the hypothesis is finally proved, it will help doctors and molecular biologists to choose the best drug (or combination of drugs) based on the individual oncogenomics of each patient.
Numerous studies describe HRQoL in other cancer types, whereas only sparse research has been done in NEN patients. We wish to investigate HRQol in NEN patients. Using a validated generic tool with normative values derived from a background population, allows us to compare the values healthy controls. Methods Study A: A cross-sectional study that investigates 250 patients (Cohort A) with neuroendocrine neoplasia, encompassing both patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET) and neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC). Study B: A prospective study that investigates 30 newly diagnosed NET patients over three months (Cohort B) who are offered palliative treatment with somatostatin analogues.
Background: Lung cancers with EGFR mutations may develop resistance to therapies targeting this protein by evolving/being transformed into small cell or neuroendocrine cancers. There are no standard treatments for it. Researchers want to see if a new combination of drugs can help. Objective: To see if the combination of durvalumab and olaparib will cause tumors to shrink. Eligibility: Adults age 18 and older who had EGFR-mutated non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) that was treated and now transformed to SCLC or another neuroendocrine tumor. Design: Participants will be screened under a separate protocol. They may have a tumor biopsy. Participants will have a physical exam. They will have a review of their symptoms, their medicines, and their ability to do their normal activities. They will have blood tests. They will have an electrocardiogram to evaluate their heart. Participants will have a computed tomography (CT) scan, a series of x-rays taken of parts of the body. Participants will get durvalumab on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle. It is given through a small plastic tube that is put in an arm vein. They will take olaparib by mouth twice every day. They will keep a medicine diary. Participants will take the study drugs until their disease gets worse or they have unacceptable side effects. About 30 days after they stop taking the study drugs, participants will have a follow-up visit. Then they will be contacted every 6 months for the rest of their life....
This is a prospective, multi-centre, open-label, single-arm, stratified, exploratory, Phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of 177Lu-DOTATATE in combination with nivolumab in adult patients with Grade 3 neuroendocrine tumours (NET) or neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC).
The main objective of this clinical trial represents the evaluation of efficacy of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor Cabozantinib in patients with NEN G3 with a proliferation rate of Ki67 20 - 60%.
Pancreatic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) could therefore be an alternative to the monitoring of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) and more particularly nonfunctioning PNETs (NF-PNETs), which is costly and anxiety-inducing for patients. To date, only a few small studies have evaluated this treatment and the results are encouraging. It appears necessary to consider a large-scale study to ensure the efficacy and low morbidity of pancreatic RFA applied to PNETs.
The goal of this exploratory study is to test whether [18F]3F-PHPG can be used reliably to map the locations of tumors in patients with neuroendocrine tumors. If so, the results of this study will be used to support further development of [18F]3F-PHPG as a clinical tool for neuroendocrine tumor localization and staging.
Somatostatin receptor antagonists are emerging agents in molecular imaging of neuroendocrine tumors. There're two main antagonist peptides, namely JR11 and LM3, which can be coupled with different chelators, DOTA and NODAGA. Previous studies by our and other groups have revealed the different diagnostic performances of these tracers. However, head-to-head comparison data is still missing. In this study, we aim to evaluate the diagnostic performance of four different antagonists, that is, NODAGA-LM3, DOTA-LM3, and NODAGA-JR11, all labeled with gallium-68.
This is a multicentre, controlled, observational prospective study on new biomarkers, as immune profiling, angiogenetic markers and circRNA from TEPs in the diagnosis and in the evaluation of treatment response in pulmonary and gastro-entero-pancreatic NENs.
