Filter by:This phase I/II trial studies how well gallium Ga 68-DOTA-TOC positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) or PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) works in imaging patients with somatostatin receptor positive tumors. Gallium Ga 68-DOTA-TOC binds to somatostatin receptor positive tumors and can be seen using a PET scan. A PET scan uses a special camera to detect energy given off from gallium Ga 68-DOTA-TOC, to make detailed pictures of areas where material accumulates in the body. Diagnostic procedures, such as gallium Ga 68-DOTA-TOC PET/CT or PET/MRI, may help find and diagnose somatostatin receptor positive tumors and help plan the best treatment.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of the investigational anticancer drug DCR-MYC. DCR-MYC is a novel synthetic double-stranded RNA in a stable lipid particle suspension that targets the oncogene MYC. MYC oncogene activation is important to the growth of many hematologic and solid tumor malignancies. In this study the Sponsor proposes to study DCR-MYC and its ability to inhibit MYC and thereby inhibit cancer cell growth.
The investigators hypothesize that the new imaging method Gallium-68-DOTATATE has a higher diagnostic value in the detection of neuroendocrine tumors than the established imaging method Indium-111-Octreoscan. Therefore, the investigators will perform both imaging procedures in patients with suspected or confirmed neuroendocrine tumors. Subsequently, the investigators will compare the diagnostic performance of both methods.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well everolimus works in treating patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors metastatic to the liver previously treated with surgery. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving everolimus after surgery may kill any tumors cells that remain.
Famitinib is a tyrosin-inhibitor agent targeting at c-Kit, VEGFR2, PDGFR, VEGFR3, Flt1 and Flt3. Phase I study has shown that the toxicity is manageable. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of Famitinib in patients with advanced or metastatic Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor.
This study is to evaluate the combination of an investigational drug X-82 with everolimus in the treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
The purpose of this study is to verify if adding a locoregional treatment of liver metastasis (with trans-arterial embolization-TAE) to medical treatments of proven efficacy can prolong the progression free survival of patients affected by neuroendocrine tumors (NET) with inoperable liver metastases
Intrapatient dose escalation of desipramine. Start at 75 mg daily. Increase by 75 mg weekly to maximum of 450 mg daily. Taper desipramine upon disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient withdrawal from study.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of everolimus administered as a first-line treatment in newly-diagnosed patients with advanced or inoperable Gastrointestinal (GI) or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
The purpose of this study is to identify predictive molecular markers of response to continuous daily sunitinib at dose of 37.5 mg used in patients with poorly-differentiated Advanced/Inoperable NEURO-Endocrine Tumors. Hypothesis: - To distinguish molecular markers based on their expression at the initial biopsy, their detection by proteomic analysis and demonstrating that tumor or vascular cells are straightaway sensitive to sunitinib (markers sensitivity). - The presence of these markers at the initial biopsy predict the sensitivity to sunitinib(Positive predictive value of markers)
