Trial summary

Carcinoid tumors are rare neuroendocrine tumors with slowly progressive course with the sites are small intestine accounting for 45%, rectum (20%), appendix (17%), colon (11%), and stomach (7%). This study focus on the mortality risk analysis for GI carcinoids due to data insufficiency in the literature. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: The inclusion criteria involved all patients with primary malignant GI carcinoid tumor diagnosed between 2000 and 2022 with sequence number 0 or 1. Sequence 0 indicated the patient had only one cancer record while sequence 1 indicated the patient may had developed many cancer records following the first one. In addition, the tumors were restricted to malignant behavior codes (ICD-O-3 Code 3).

Who may be able to join

  • patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal carcinoid tumor
  • from 2000-2022
  • histologically confirmed

Who cannot join

  • death certificate only and autopsy only patients
  • patients with unknown age data.

Carcinoid tumors are rare neuroendocrine tumors with slowly progressive course with the sites are small intestine accounting for 45%, rectum (20%), appendix (17%), colon (11%), and stomach (7%). This study focus on the mortality risk analysis for GI carcinoids due to data insufficiency in the literature. This is a retrospective cohort study based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database using SEER*Stat software covering approximately 28% of the U.S. The inclusion criteria involved all patients with primary malignant GI carcinoid tumor diagnosed between 2000 and 2021 with sequence number 0 or 1. Sequence 0 indicated the patient had only one cancer record while sequence 1 indicated the patient may had developed many cancer records following the first one. In addition, the tumors were restricted to malignant behavior codes (ICD-O-3 Code 3). We used SEER*Stat software (version 9.0.42.0) to conduct data extraction and statistical analysis. We used the MP-SIR session to calculate the SMR as Observed/Expected (O/E) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) and the excess risk (ER) was per 10,000. Statistical significance was achieved at 0.05. With further analysis, we compared cancer as a cause of death (COD) to other non-cancer COD across different time intervals and primary sites among GI carcinoid tumour.

What is being measured

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

  1. The standardized mortality ratio of GI carcinoid tumors

    SEER*Stat software (version 9.0.42.0) was used to conduct data extraction and statistical analysis. The MP-SIR session was used to calculate the SMR as Observed/Expected (O/E) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) and the excess risk was per 10,000. Statistical significance was achieved at 0.05. With further analysis, we compared cancer as a cause of death to other non-cancer causes of death across different time intervals and primary sites among GI carcinoid tumour.

    Measured: 2000-2022

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoid Tumor, run by Suez Canal University.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jan 2026. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The standardized mortality ratio of GI carcinoid tumors (time frame: 2000-2022). 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 5 Jan 2026.
