About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Etoposide Plus Cisplatin Compared With Irinotecan Plus Cisplatin for First-line Treatment of Non-primary Pancreatic Metastatic and/or Unresectable Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumor G3 Type

The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy, safety, and survival benefit of etoposide plus cisplatin and irinotecan plus cisplatin in first-line therapy of non-primary pancreatic metastatic and/or unresectable gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor G3 type. In addition, the investigators will explore the resistance mechanisms of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor G3, and screen out biomarkers that can predict the efficacy of chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

The prognosis of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor G3 type patients who cannot be surgically resected is poor. The median overall survival (OS) is only 6-10 months, and the 3-year survival rate is less than 10%. Among the neuroendocrine tumors of the digestive system, only pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor has a standard treatment strategy, and there is a lack of prospective clinical research data on other gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors. According to the chemotherapy regimen of small cell lung cancer, etoposide plus cisplatin or irinotecan plus cisplatin is the choice of rescue therapy for advanced non-surgical or metastatic neuroendocrine tumor G3 type. However, prospective studies are needed to confirm whether there are differences in efficacy and safety between the two chemotherapy regimens. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy, safety, and survival benefit of etoposide plus cisplatin and irinotecan plus cisplatin in first-line therapy of non-primary pancreatic metastatic and/or unresectable gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor G3 type. In addition, the investigators will explore the resistance mechanisms of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor G3, and screen out biomarkers that can predict the efficacy of chemotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    To compare objective response rate of the two arms from date of anti-cancer therapy until progression

    Measured: up to 2 years

  2. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    From the first day of treatment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause

    Measured: up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall survival (OS)

    From the first day of treatment to death or last survival confirm date

    Measured: up to 2 years

  2. Number of Participants with Treatment-related Adverse Events

    Treatment-related adverse events will be assessed by CT CAE v4.0

    Measured: up to 2 years

  3. Assessment of Health-related quality of life

    Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) will be evaluated since treatment begins. At the end of the trail, the differences between the two indicators will be compared with Mixed-effects model repeated measures (MMRM), where the baseline is scored as a covariant and the treatment group as a fixed variable. In addition, the baseline values of the two scores, the value of each visit, and the change value of the baseline will be statistically described.

    Measured: up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Etoposide and Irinotecan in people with Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumor, run by Henan Cancer Hospital.

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 9 inclusion and 23 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ying Liu (13783604602, yaya7207@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective response rate (ORR) (time frame: up to 2 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 24 May 2019.
