Treatment of Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) With Combination of Everolimus and Radiolabeled Somatostatin Analogue

Study Purpose

NET originate in neuroendocrine cells throughout the body. The goal of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the combination of everolimus and the intravenous radiolabeled Lu-177 DOTATATE Therapy as a 1st line therapy in unresectable well to moderately differentiated metastatic neuroendocrine tumors of all GI, lung and pancreatic origins. This is a phase 1

  • - 2 study.
The phase 1 part involves finding the maximum tolerating dose (MTD) of Everolimus.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT03629847
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Neuroendocrine Tumors
Additional Details

Neuroendocrine tumors NET refers to tumors that originate in neuroendocrine cells throughout the body (including in the thymus, lung, pancreas, gastrointestinal [GI] tract and less common sites). They can be broadly subclassified into well-differentiated and poorly differentiated cancers. Treatment of well differentiated NET are complex and involves surgical, Locoregional and systemic modalities depending on the manifestations as well as extent of disease. Treatment is best planned in a multidisciplinary tumor board. Of the emerging new systemic modalities are Everolimus and radiolabelled somatostatin analogue. The goal of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the combination of everolimus and the intravenous radiolabeled Lu-177 DOTATATE Therapy (a somatostatin analogue) as a first line therapy in unresectable well to moderately differentiated metastatic neuroendocrine tumors of all gastrointestinal, lung and pancreatic origins. This is a phase 1

  • - 2 study.
The phase 1 part involves finding the maximum tolerating dose (MTD) of Everolimus.
