Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for 3-arm Trial to Evaluate Pasireotide LAR/Everolimus Alone/in Combination in Patients With Lung/Thymus NET - LUNA Trial

Study Description

Brief Summary: This was a multicenter, randomized, phase II study evaluating Everolimus or Pasireotide LAR alone or in combination in adult patients with advanced (unresectable or metastatic) neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung and thymus

Detailed Description: This was a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label, 3-arm, phase II study with a single-stage design in each arm. The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness and safety of Everolimus or Pasireotide LAR alone or in combination in adult patients with advanced (unresectable or metastatic) neuroendocrine carcinoma (typical and atypical) of the lung and thymus. It was expected that a total of 120 patients with 40 patients in each arm were to be enrolled into this study. Patients were seen weekly for one month and monthly thereafter. Radiological and biochemical response assessments were performed every 3 months. Patients with disease control (stable disease or better) in the combination arm or monotherapy with pasireotide LAR and everolimus who had not experienced unacceptable toxicity were permitted to continue treatment in the extension phase of the study and were seen every 3 months. Patients could remain in the extension phase as long as they continued to have clinical benefit and had not fulfilled any of the study discontinuation criteria. All patients had a safety follow-up visit 56 days after last treatment dose.
