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)
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Drug: Everolimus and STZ-5FU for Neuroendocrine Tumors. Completed, enrolled 141 participants across 37 sites in 8 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare streptozotocin (STZ) vs everolimus as first line treatment for advanced pNET and to elucidate which sequence of 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.
