Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether the drug surufatinib, taken daily for 6 months after surgery, can prevent neuroendocrine tumors from coming back in high-risk patients. It will enroll 35 adults with stage III tumors (including G1, G2, and all G3 types). The main goal is to see how long patients stay cancer-free after treatment.

Active substance

surufatinib (a drug taken by mouth daily for 6 months after surgery)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could help prevent neuroendocrine tumors from coming back after surgery, giving patients more time without recurrence.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial (35 people) with no results yet. The drug may not prevent recurrence and could cause side effects like any cancer medication.
