New drug shows promise for rare gut and lung tumors
NCT ID NCT07272512
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing an oral drug called surufatinib in 350 adults with advanced neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). The drug works by cutting off blood supply to tumors and boosting the immune system. Researchers want to see if it helps control the disease and improves survival in real-world settings, not just in strict clinical trials.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Surufatinib (an oral drug that targets blood vessel growth and immune signals)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm surufatinib as a standard treatment option to slow tumor growth and extend survival for people with advanced neuroendocrine tumors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-arm, real-world study without a comparison group, so results may be less definitive. Side effects like high blood pressure, fatigue, or liver issues are possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adequately understand the study and voluntarily sign the Informed Consent Form. * Have a confirmed histological or cytological diagnosis of neuroendocrine neoplasm. * Have measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1. * Have adequate organ and bone marrow function. * Life expectancy \> 12 weeks. * Women of childbearing age must be willing to use adequate contraceptives during the study period of drug treatment. Exclusion Criteria: * Other malignant tumors diagnosed within 5 years (excluding effectively treated basal cell carcinoma, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, or completely resected in situ cervical/breast cancer). * Concurrent use of other investigational drugs or approved/investigational anti-tumor therapies. * Contraindications to surufatinib: active bleeding, ulcers, intestinal perforation/obstruction, uncontrolled hypertension, grade III-IV cardiac insufficiency, \<30 days post-major surgery, or severe hepatic/renal impairment. * Pregnant (positive pre-treatment pregnancy test) or lactating females. * Massive pleural effusion/ascites requiring drainage. * Other diseases/abnormalities (metabolic, physical, or laboratory) deemed by the investigator to preclude study drug use.
