Trial summary

Neuroendocrine tumors represent a heterogeneous group of tumors, of which gastrointestinal (gastroenteropancreatic) NETs are the most frequent. Therapeutic management involves several approaches: control of any secretory syndrome and tumor control. Surgery is the first-line treatment for localized stages. Read more about this study

About this study

Neuroendocrine tumors represent a heterogeneous group of tumors, of which gastrointestinal (gastroenteropancreatic) NETs are the most frequent.

Therapeutic management involves several approaches: control of any secretory syndrome and tumor control. Surgery is the first-line treatment for localized stages. When there is distant metastasis, various systemic treatments can be combined or administered sequentially (somatostatin analogs, everolimus, sunitinib, radioablation, targeted internal radiotherapy, cytotoxic chemotherapy). Gastrointestinal NETs are most often well-differentiated and slow-growing tumors with a median overall survival of up to 9 years (all sites combined), making comprehensive management of these patients all the more important.

In the context of cancer management, malnutrition has been shown to be associated with a poorer prognosis. Similarly, addressing malnutrition and improving nutritional parameters have been associated with improved prognosis.

The impact of nutritional status in patients with slow-growing tumors such as gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) is less well understood but could be a modifiable factor for improving quality of life and treatment efficacy.

The research hypothesis is that nutritional status is associated with the prognosis of patients with gastrointestinal NETs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Establish a proportion of patients with malnutrition

    The proportion of patients with malnutrition based on weight loss, compared to usual weight before the onset of illness, is distributed as follows:

    • weight loss ≥ 5% in 1 month or
    • weight loss ≥ 10% in 6 months

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 1 site in France.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Philippe BALTZINGER, MD (33 3 88 12 75 82, philippe.baltzinger@chru-strasbourg.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Establish a proportion of patients with malnutrition (time frame: Up to 12 months). 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 Dec 2025.
