Summary

The purpose of this study is to elucidate which sequence of streptozotocin (STZ) based chemotherapy and the mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, everolimus, gives better results in terms of second Progression Free Survival (PFS) in well differentiated and advanced pancreatic NETs.

Clinical Details

Official title: Randomized Open Label Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Everolimus Followed by Chemotherapy With Streptozotocin- Fluorouracilo (STZ-5FU) Upon Progression or the Reverse Sequence, in Advanced Progressive Pancreatic NETs (pNETs)

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Second Progression Free Survival (second PFS)

Secondary outcome:

Adverse events

Time to first progression

Ratio of incremental cost-efficacy (ICER)

Response Rate (RR)

Early Biochemical response

Time to second progression

Detailed description: STZ based chemotherapy, STZ-5FU, is the actual standard of care for advanced pancreatic Neuroendocrine tumours (pNETS) in the European Union. Everolimus has been recently approved for its use in advanced pNETs by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and in Europe by the European Medical Agency (EMA). A randomized study is needed to have a clear knowledge about the best sequence for its administration; this is, before or after palliative chemotherapy. There may or may not be any benefits from giving first each other treatment of the study. The information obtained from this study will help the physician improve the treatment and management of patients with advanced pNET.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: 94 Years. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Histologically proven diagnosis of unresectable or metastatic, advanced pancreatic

NET.

- Documented confirmation of pancreatic NET G1 or G2 as per European Neuroendocrine

Society (ENETS) classification system.

- Patients from whom a paraffin-embedded primary tumour or metastasis block is

available and sent by Courier.

- Before study inclusion, patients must show progressive disease documented by

radiology 12 months prior to study inclusion. Naive patients can be also included if the patient needs active treatment with either chemotherapy or everolimus.

- Presence of measurable disease as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors

(RECIST) criteria 1. 0, documented by a Triphasic Computed Tomography (CT) scan or multiphase MRI radiological assessment.

- Previous treatment with somatostatin (SS) analogues is allowed. Only those patients

with active functioning syndrome at entry can continue with SS analogues during the study.

- Adequate bone marrow and renal functions, and serum fasting cholesterol

- Women with child-bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test.

- Written Informed Consent obtained according to local regulations

Exclusion Criteria:

- Previous treatment with chemotherapy and/or mTOR inhibitors or tyrosine kinase

inhibitors.

- Immune therapy or radiation therapy within 4 weeks prior to the patient entering the

study.

- Hepatic artery embolization within the last 6 months (1 month if there are other

sites of measurable disease), or cryoablation/radiofrequency ablation of hepatic metastasis within 2 months of enrolment.

- Previous treatment with Peptide-Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) within the last

6 months and/or without progression following PRRT.

- Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.

- Any severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions.

- Treatment with potent inhibitors or inducers of Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A) isoenzyme

within 5 days immediately before the start of treatment.

- Patients on chronic treatment with corticosteroids or any other immunosuppressive

agent.

- Patients known to be HIV seropositive.

- Known intolerance or hypersensitivity to everolimus or its excipients or other

rapamycin analogues. Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medicinal product.

- Known intolerance or hypersensitivity to 5FU or STZ or its excipients.

- Pregnant, lactating women or fertile adults not using effective birth control

methods.

- For administrative matters (insurance) patients ≥ 95 are not allowed.
