Phase II Study of Sunitinib Malate Following Hepatic Artery Embolization for Metastatic Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Sunitinib malate and Hepatic Artery Embolizations for Neuroendocrine Tumor and Islet Cell Tumor. Completed, enrolled 39 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to decide if a medicine that slows growth of new blood vessels can be give after the embolization procedure to prevent or delay new growth of blood vessels to tumors.

Timeline
Interventions
Sunitinib malate (Sutent) at a dose of 37.5mg will be administered orally once daily on days 1-28 in a 42-day cycle. Treatment with Sutent will begin no sooner than seven days after the first hepatic artery embolization. Subsequent embolizations (if necessary) will be scheduled during scheduled Sutent treatment breaks. No fewer than seven days shall separate treatment with Sutent and scheduling of hepatic artery embolizations.
1-3 selective hepatic artery embolizations will be performed at approximately 5-week intervals, based on the extent of hepatic involvement with tumor.
