Study to test if patient education improves side effect management for neuroendocrine tumor patients on oral therapy
NCT ID NCT07258810
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will enroll 100 adults with neuroendocrine tumors who are starting oral anti-cancer drugs like everolimus or sunitinib. Researchers want to see if a therapeutic education program—including questionnaires and nurse consultations—helps patients handle side effects and maintain quality of life. The main focus is on tracking severe side effects (grade 3-5) over three months and comparing outcomes between those who get the education program and those who do not.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- therapeutic education program (questionnaires and consultations)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that patient education programs help people with neuroendocrine tumors handle side effects better and stick to their oral cancer treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test a new drug or cure, and results may not apply to all patients or settings.

Who is studied
Recruitment will be carried out among patients hospitalized in the Medical Oncology department at Edouard Herriot University Hospital. Every consecutive patient with an indication for oral anti-tumor agents (ATO) within the context of a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) will be screened and included in the study in the absence of contraindications and after obtaining their non-opposition.
