NCT ID NCT04339036

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (capecitabine and temozolomide) plus tiny radioactive beads delivered directly to the liver (Y90 radioembolization) in 70 people with grade 2 or 3 neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to the liver. The goal is to see if this approach keeps liver tumors from growing longer than either treatment alone.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Capecitabine (Xeloda), Temozolomide (Temodar), and Yttrium-90 radioembolization (Y90 beads)
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer better control of liver tumors in people with neuroendocrine cancer that has spread to the liver.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination also carries risks like liver damage and low blood counts.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with confirmed diagnosis of histologic grade 2 or 3 well differentiated neuroendocrine tumor with unresectable liver metastases (primary tumor or other extrahepatic disease may be present) * Patients with at least one measurable liver metastases, with size \> 1cm (RECIST criteria) * Patients with liver dominant disease defined as ≥50% tumor body burden confined to the liver * Liver tumor burden does not exceed 50% of the liver volume * Patent main portal vein * At least 4 weeks since last administration of last chemotherapy and /or radiotherapy * Age \>18 years. * Life expectancy of greater than 6 months. * ECOG performance status 0-2. * Adequate liver function as measured by: Total bilirubin ≤ 2.0mg/dl, ALT, AST ≤5 times ULN, albumin ≥2.5g/dl. * Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below: * platelets \>100,000/mcL (may be corrected by transfusion) * serum creatinine \< 2.0 mg/dl * INR \<1.6, (may be corrected by transfusion) * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. * Women of child bearing potential and fertile men are required to use effective contraception (negative urine or serum βHCG for women of child-bearing age) Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindications to capecitibine or temozolomide * Contraindicated for both contrast-enhanced MRI and CT * Patients previously treated with transarterial embolization (with or without chemotherapy) or with radioembolization (Y-90 microspheres) * Contraindication for radioembolization procedures: * excessive hepatopulmonary shunt as determined by the investigator * inability to deliver Y90 microspheres without risk of non-target embolization of extra-hepatic structures * Subjects consenting to the trial who fail their simulation angiography will be removed from the study and replaced. * Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents. * Absolute contraindication to intravenous iodinated contrast (Hx of significant previous contrast reaction, not mitigated by appropriate pre-medication). * Choledochoenteric anastomosis, transpapillary stent or sphincterotomy of duodenal papilla; * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. * Pregnant and lactating women are ineligible
