Doctors and researchers leading this study hope to learn more about peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) in combination with cytoreduction (surgically removing tumors). They hope to learn if combining PRRT in combination with cytoreduction would be more effective than cytoreduction alone. PRRT itself is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for people with PanNETs however the combination with cytoreduction is considered experimental. Your participation in this research will last about 2 years. The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of PRRT.
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are relatively rare tumors, mainly originating from the digestive system, that tend to be slow growing and are often diagnosed when metastatic. Surgery is the sole curative option, but is feasible only in a minority of patients. Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) has been experimented for almost 20 years and is an established effective therapeutic modality for well/moderately differentiated, inoperable or metastasized gastro-entero-pancreatic (GEP) and bronchial NETs. Clinical studies demonstrated that partial and complete objective responses can be obtained in up to 30% of patients. Side effects may involve the kidneys and the bone marrow and are usually mild. Renal protection is used to minimize the risk of a late decrease of renal function. A new application for P-NETs is preoperative PRRT. Since surgery is the only curative option for GEPNETs, preoperative PRRT could increase the efficacy of surgery. However, this modality has not been fully explored in dedicated studies and there are just few sporadic case reports that described the preoperative use of PRRT in pancreatic NETs who could then be operated on successfully. Moreover there are few experiences demonstrating the advantage of PRRT associated to surgery in a multidisciplinary setting. In addition, the possibility of detecting the circulating NET transcripts by means of transcriptome analysis could represent an early marker of response to PRRT and improve the patient management. Aim of this study is to evaluate the response and rate of R0 surgery in patients with unresectable or borderline resectable PNETs eligible to PRRT with 90Y-DOTATOC and correlate the response to the variation in circulating NET transcripts measured before and after the end of PRRT. It has been recently shown that a PCR-based 51 transcript signature is significantly more sensitive and efficient than single analytes (e.g. CgA) in NET diagnosis and follow up. 30 patients will be enrolled in the study; each of them will receive 1.85 GBq/cycle of 90Y-DOTATOC with a cumulative activity of 9.25-11.1 GBq in 5-6 cycles (depending on personalized dosimetry). Therapy response will be assessed by morphological (CT/MRI) and functional (PET/CT or Octreoscan) imaging after 3 and 6 months from the completion of PRRT and compared with transcript analysis. Based on literature reports we expect a response rate of about 35% of patients.
The current study aims to access the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of EUS-FNI for nonfunctional pNETs
The present study aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of EUS-FNI for MEN1-related pNETs
We aim to develop an EUS-AI model which can facilitate clinical diagnosis by analyzing EUS pictures and clinical parameters of patients.
Study objective: To describe the microflora characteristics of the pancreatic solid lesions via the tissue acquired via the endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration/biopsy (EUS-FNA/B). Study design: This is a prospective observational study.
This phase II trial studies the effect of capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery in treating patients with high-risk well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as capecitabine and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery could prevent or delay the return of cancer in patients with high-risk well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
This is a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of belzutifan monotherapy in participants with advanced pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL), pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET), von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) Disease-Associated Tumors, Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (wt GIST), or Advanced Solid Tumors With hypoxia inducible factor-2 alpha (HIF-2α) related genetic alterations. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) of belzutifan per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by blinded independent central review (BICR).
This phase II trial investigates how well oral cryotherapy plus acupressure and acupuncture compared with oral cryotherapy alone work in decreasing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with gastrointestinal cancer who are receiving oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. Acupressure is the application of pressure or localized massage to specific sites on the body to control symptoms such as pain or nausea. Acupuncture is the technique of inserting thin needles through the skin at specific points on the body to control pain and other symptoms. Cryotherapy uses cold temperature such as oral ice chips to prevent abnormally increased pain sensation. Giving oral cryotherapy with acupressure and acupuncture may work better in decreasing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy from oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in patients with gastrointestinal cancer compared to oral cryotherapy alone.
