About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Study of RAD001 in Combination With Temozolomide in Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

This research study will test the safety of RAD001 in combination with temozolomide.

Read the detailed description
  • Participants will take RAD001 by mouth daily. They will also take temozolomide by mouth daily for one week, followed by a one-week break period. This one-week on/one week off schedule for temozolomide will continue for the duration of the treatment.
  • After the first month of treatment, there will be a 7-day observation period during which no study medication will be taken to observe for any side effects.
  • During all treatment cycles (1 cycle is 28 days in length) participants will have a physical exam and will be asked questions about their general health and specific questions about any problems they may be experiencing. Initially, participants will come in every other week. At each of these visits, blood work will be taken to monitor the participants health.
  • After every 2 months of treatment, participants will have a CT scan or MRI done to see how the medication is working.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Response Rate

    To determine the objective response rate by RECIST criteria of RAD001 in combination with temozolomide in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Partial response (PR) by these criteria is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum longest diameter. Progressive disease (PD) is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Stable Disease (SD) is defined as neither sufficient decrease to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter since the treatment started.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression-free Survival

    To determine progression-free survival when RAD001 is given in combination with temozolomide in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Progression-free survival is defined as time from start of therapy until disease progression, as defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST), as 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions, or death.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. To Determine the Safety and Tolerability of This Drug Combination.

    To determine the safety and tolerability of RAD001 when given in combination with temozolomide in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing RAD001 and Temozolomide in people with Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jul 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response Rate (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jul 2020.
