Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor

This early-phase trial tests a new radioactive drug called RYZ401 in people with neuroendocrine tumors and other solid tumors that have a specific protein on their surface. The drug delivers a powerful radioactive particle directly to cancer cells. The study aims to find the safe…

Neuroendocrine tumors often keep growing despite treatment with somatostatin analogues, drugs that slow tumor growth and reduce hormone production. When that happens, doctors add peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), a targeted radiotherapy, but they do not know whether c…

This study compares a new drug, zanzalintinib, to the current standard drug everolimus in people with advanced neuroendocrine tumors that have already been treated. The goal is to see which drug better slows tumor growth. About 440 participants will be randomly assigned to one of…

This phase 2 study tests belzutifan, a daily pill that blocks a protein called HIF-2α, in people with advanced rare cancers like pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, VHL disease-associated tumors, and certain other solid tumors. The goal is to see if …

This early-phase trial is testing whether combining two targeted therapies—sunitinib malate and Lutathera—is safe for people with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors that have spread or cannot be removed. Sunitinib blocks signals that help tumors grow, while Lutathera deliv…

This study looks at how well the drug cabozantinib works and how safe it is for adults with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) that have continued to grow after at least one prior treatment. About 150 participants in Germany and Austria will be followed during their routine care. Docto…

This study tests whether removing as much tumor as possible through surgery before giving a targeted radioactive drug (Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate) works better for people with slow-growing neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to the liver. Six adults with grade 1 or 2 tumors will…

This study tests whether a radioactive drug called lutetium-177 oxodotreotide, when combined with a standard dose of octreotide, works better than a high dose of octreotide alone for people with advanced neuroendocrine tumors of the gut or pancreas. About 220 adults aged 18-75 wi…

This study tests a procedure called EUS-RFA, which uses a thin tube with a camera and a tiny heat probe to destroy pancreatic cysts and small tumors. It is for people who cannot have surgery or choose not to. The goal is to shrink or eliminate these growths, reduce the need for f…

This early study tests a personalized mRNA vaccine (mRNA-0523-L001) for people with advanced endocrine tumors like adrenal cancer, medullary thyroid cancer, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors who have no standard treatment left. The vaccine is made to target unique mutations in…

This study tests a new drug called RYZ101 in people with advanced neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) that have grown after prior radiation therapy. The trial has two parts: first finding the right dose, then comparing RYZ101 to standard treatments like everolimus or sunitinib. Abou…

This study is testing a procedure called EUS-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for people with pancreatic tumors who are not candidates for surgery. The procedure uses a thin needle passed through an endoscope to deliver heat directly to the tumor. Researchers want to see if i…

This early-phase trial tests a new treatment for people with advanced melanoma or other solid tumors that have spread. Doctors take a patient's own immune cells, modify them in a lab to better recognize and attack cancer, and give them back after a short course of chemotherapy. T…

This study compares two types of Whipple surgery for people with pancreatic or nearby cancers: the traditional open surgery and a newer keyhole (laparoscopic) approach. About 90 adults with resectable tumors will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The goal is to s…

This study looks at people with stage 4 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pan-NET) that have spread. It compares two approaches: having surgery to remove as much tumor as possible (plus optional drug treatment) versus drug treatment alone. The goal is to see which helps people li…

This early-phase study tests whether adding the drug fulvestrant to standard radiation therapy (Lu-DOTATATE) is safe and helps shrink tumors in people with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. About 25 adults whose cancer has spread or cannot be removed by surgery will take…

This trial tests whether giving three treatments together—two medicines and a surgical patch—can lower the risk of major complications after Whipple surgery for pancreatic cancer and other tumors. The study includes 400 high-risk patients with a small pancreatic duct. If successf…

This study looks at whether giving two chemotherapy drugs (capecitabine and temozolomide) after surgery can prevent or delay the return of high-risk pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. About 141 people who have had their tumor removed will be randomly assigned to receive the drugs …

This study tests two new ultrasound techniques to help doctors tell the difference between common pancreatic cancer and other types of pancreatic growths. About 150 adults with a solid pancreatic mass will get these advanced scans. The goal is to see if these methods can improve …

This study tests a new radioactive imaging agent called 68Ga-HA-DOTATATE to see if it can safely and accurately detect neuroendocrine tumors using PET/CT scans. About 600 people with known or suspected tumors will receive the agent and be followed for one year. The goal is to imp…

This study is testing a new blood test that looks at fragments of DNA to find pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors early and tell them apart from other pancreatic tumors. Researchers will collect blood from 1,000 adults with different types of pancreatic tumors to see how accurate th…

This study tests an artificial intelligence (AI) system that analyzes contrast-enhanced CT scans to help diagnose and manage pancreatic diseases. The AI will classify patients into three groups: needing immediate treatment, close monitoring, or routine follow-up. Researchers will…

This study is testing a new web-based program designed to help people with pancreatic cancer manage stress and symptoms. Sixty participants will complete weekly one-hour online sessions for ten weeks, learning relaxation, coping, and communication skills. The goal is to see if th…

This study tests a special medical food powder (Encala®) in 18 adults with pancreatic cancer who have trouble absorbing fat, causing stomach issues and weight loss. The goal is to see if the powder is easy to take and helps improve fat absorption and quality of life. This is an e…

This study aims to better understand why some people experience dangerously low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially after fasting. Researchers will admit 1,500 adults to the NIH Clinical Center for controlled fasting and a series of blood tests to measure insulin and other fac…

This study enrolls people with endocrine tumors (such as thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, or pancreatic tumors) who are scheduled for surgery or biopsy. Researchers collect samples of the tumor, nearby healthy tissue, blood, and urine to analyze genetic and molecular changes. The g…

This study looks back at medical records from 600 people to compare pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) that appear at a younger age versus those that appear later in life. Researchers want to see if these two groups have different risk factors, tumor features, metabolic c…

This study looks at whether measuring the amount of certain targeted cancer drugs in the blood can help find the best dose for each patient. It involves adults with advanced digestive cancers like colorectal, liver, and stomach tumors who are already taking these medications. By …

This study is testing whether wearing a fitness tracker (like a Fitbit) can give doctors a better picture of how active cancer patients are, and whether that activity level relates to how well they are doing overall. About 590 people with various cancers will wear activity monito…

This study follows people with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease who have pancreatic tumors or cysts. The goal is to learn how these growths change over time and to see if a special type of scan (68-Gallium DOTATATE PET/CT) can find them better. Participants will have regular check…
