Filter by:Somatostatin receptors are overexpressed in GEP-NETs and can be visualized in vivo by radiolabeled somatostatin-analogs. During the last decades, conventional scintigraphy using 111In-DTPA-Octreotide (often named somatostatin receptor scintigraphy or SRS) was considered as the gold standard nuclear imaging technique in the evaluation of GEP-NETs. However, SRS may be suboptimal in this clinical setting because of the low intrinsic resolution of the technique and its selectivity for SST2 only. Its overall sensitivity is estimated to 60-70% (per lesion analysis), even when using the most recent SPECT-CT cameras. MRI have also a higher sensitivity than CT and SRS for the detection of liver metastases from GEP-NETs. In recent years, positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, a high resolution and sensitive technology, has gained an increasing role in oncology. It has also been evaluated in GEP-NETs with somatostatin agonists (SSTa) radiolabelled with Gallium-68 [68Ga], a positron emitter with very promising results. Its diagnostic sensitivity is clearly superior to SRS and many European centers have already replaced SRS by [68Ga]-PET-SSTa. Currently, three different [68Ga]-coupled peptides can be used in trials: DOTA-TOC, DOTA-TATE and DOTA-NOC with excellent affinities for SST2 (IC50: 2.5; 0.2 and 1.9 nM, respectively). Sensitivities of DOTA-TOC and DOTA-TATE PET/CT are quite similar. [68Ga]-DOTANOC which also binds to SST5 was recently found to detect significantly more lesions than the SST2-specific radiotracer [68Ga]-DOTATATE in patients with GEP-NETs but this requires further evaluation. It is therefore important to determine the interest of [68Ga]-DOTANOC combined with the standard diagnosis strategy in GEP-NETs and evaluate medicoeconomic impact of adding [68Ga]-DOTANOC in the work-up of patients. The investigators hypothesis is that [68Ga]-DOTANOC will modify the management in at least 20% of patients in a more adapted way according to the 2012 ENETS guidelines in comparison to the decision based on the standard imaging work up (multiphasic WB CT, liver MRI and SRS). 110 patients will be included prospectively in 5 different French experienced centers (Marseille, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Paris, Clermond-Ferrand).
The purpose of this clinical phase I/II study was to investigate the safety and tolerability of satoreotide tetraxetan (177Lu-IPN01072, formerly known as 177Lu-OPS201) used for the treatment of patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). The secondary objectives of this study were the assessment of biodistribution, dosimetry and preliminary efficacy of satoreotide tetraxetan.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multi-center Phase III study to assess the efficacy of Surufatinib 300 mg once a day in treating advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of berzosertib (M6620 [VX-970]) when given together with whole brain radiation therapy in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, or neuroendocrine tumors that have spread from the original (primary) tumor to the brain (brain metastases). Berzosertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving berzosertib together with radiation therapy may work better compared to standard of care treatment, including brain surgery and radiation therapy, in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, or neuroendocrine tumors.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multi-center Phase III study to assess the efficacy of Surufatinib 300 mg once a day in treating advanced extrapancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
Prospective study to obtain fresh tumor biopsies and three blood samples from patients with a confirmed histological or cytological diagnosis of well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) or well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) for molecular profiling.
This is a prospective phase II open-label trial, stratifying patients equally into two cohorts consisting of carcinoid tumors and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs). The purpose of this study is to test any good and bad effects of the study drug called Ibrutinib. The study population will consist of adult patients with histologically confirmed low to intermediate grade NETs of the GI tract, lungs and unknown primary (carcinoid tumors) or pNETs. All patients must be confirmed to have advanced disease. The study will enroll up to 51 patients in two cohorts (30 carcinoid and 21 pNET patients).
This is an open-label, multicenter, global Phase 2 basket study of entrectinib (RXDX-101) for the treatment of patients with solid tumors that harbor an NTRK1/2/3, ROS1, or ALK gene fusion. Patients will be assigned to different baskets according to tumor type and gene fusion.
Imaging of neuroendocrine (NETs), such as carcinoids and pheochromocytomas (PHEOs), is suboptimal, limiting curative treatment. The investigators wanted to explore the use of PET and F-DOPA i.v. for the localization of these types of neoplasms. The investigators used a similar protocol as they had used for PET (Positron emission tomography) or FDG (Fludeoxyglucose) imaging in oncologic patients. F-DOPA, prepared according to United States Pharmacopeia (USP) guidelines, was approved by the North Shore University Hospital Radiation Safety Committee in 1989 and 1994 for the study of neurological diseases and used uneventfully.
The objective of this observational laboratory study is to measure the correlation between 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA) in platelet rich plasma and 5-HIAA in 24-hours urine collection in adult patients with a serotonin-producing neuro-endocrine tumor. Plasma and urine of included patients are collected and 5-HIAA values are measured with LCMS-MS and analysed.
