New combo therapy aims to tackle Hard-to-Treat gut tumors

NCT ID NCT07185672

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding chemotherapy (capecitabine and temozolomide) to standard radiation therapy (PRRT) helps people with advanced neuroendocrine tumors of the stomach, intestines, or pancreas that show high activity on FDG PET scans. The study will enroll 162 adults whose tumors are well-differentiated but FDG-avid, a sign of more aggressive disease. The main goal is to see if the combination delays tumor growth or death compared to PRRT alone.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Lutetium-177 PRRT (radiation therapy) plus capecitabine and temozolomide (chemotherapy)

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could improve progression-free survival for patients with aggressive neuroendocrine tumors that show FDG activity on scans.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 3 trial but still experimental; adding chemotherapy to PRRT may increase side effects without clear benefit. Results may not apply to all NET subtypes.
