About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase II Study of Cisplatin and Etoposide Versus Temozolomide and Capecitabine in Patients With Advanced Poorly Differentiated (G3) Non-Small Cell Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Carcinomas

This randomized phase II trial studies how well temozolomide and capecitabine work compared to standard treatment with cisplatin or carboplatin and etoposide in treating patients with neuroendocrine carcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract or pancreas that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, capecitabine, cisplatin, carboplatin and etoposide, 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. Certain types of neuroendocrine carcinomas may respond better to treatments other than the current standard treatment of cisplatin and etoposide. It is not yet known whether temozolomide and capecitabine may work better than cisplatin or carboplatin and etoposide in treating patients with this type of neuroendocrine carcinoma, called non-small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the progression free survival (PFS) of platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide versus the PFS of temozolomide and capecitabine in patients with advanced G3 non-small cell gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinomas.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the response rate (RR) of platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide versus the RR of temozolomide and capecitabine in patients with advanced G3 non-small cell gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinomas.

II. To assess the overall survival (OS) of platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide versus the OS of temozolomide and capecitabine in patients with advanced G3 non-small cell gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinomas.

III. To evaluate the toxicities associated with the combination of temozolomide and capecitabine and the combination of platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide, respectively, in patients with advanced G3 non-small cell gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinomas.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the impact of each treatment regimen on PFS, RR and OS based on marker of proliferation Ki-67 index in patients with advanced G3 non-small cell gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinomas. (Laboratory) II. To assess the prognostic significance of well differentiated versus poorly differentiated non-small cell gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors in relationship to survival and response to treatment. (Laboratory) III. To assess the agreement in Ki-67 status between that reported by institutional pathologist and that reported by central pathology review. (Laboratory)

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM A: Patients receive capecitabine orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-14 and temozolomide PO once daily (QD) on days 10-14. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM B: Patients receive cisplatin intravenously (IV) on days 1-3 or carboplatin IV on day 1. Patients also receive etoposide IV on days 1-3. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from randomization to documented progression or death without progression. PFS is censored at the date of last disease evaluation. The study was closed for futility in 2021 after the 2021 Spring DSMC meeting, which found that the boundary for futility had been met (ie, temozolomide and capecitabine did not appear to be superior to platinum and etoposide chemotherapy). As the interim analysis finding led to the conclusion of the study, no PFS stratified logrank test was conducted with the data extracted on April 23rd, 2025 for the final analysis, that was presented here.

    Measured: assessed at baseline, every 8 weeks until treatment completion, then every 3 months within 2 years and every 6 months within 3-5 years from randomization until disease progression, up to 5 years from study registration

Secondary outcomes (2)

  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. OS is censored at the date of last contact. Median OS is estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: assessed at baseline, then every 3 months within 2 years from randomization, and every 6 months if patient is 3-5 years from randomization, up to 5 years from randomization

  2. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Response is evaluated using the RECIST 1.1 criteria. CR is defined as disappearance of all lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

    Measured: assessed at baseline, every 8 weeks until treatment completion, then every 3 months within 2 years and every 6 months within 3-5 years, up to 5 years from registration; the best response among all assessments was considered as objective response

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Capecitabine, Carboplatin and Cisplatin in people with Gastric Neuroendocrine Carcinoma and Intestinal Neuroendocrine Carcinoma, run by ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group at 673 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 22 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 673 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Apr 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free Survival (PFS) (time frame: assessed at baseline, every 8 weeks until treatment completion, then every 3 months within 2 years and every 6 months within 3-5 years from randomization until disease progression, up to 5 years from study registration). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02595424.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Nov 2026.
