About this study

Official title: UPCC 04219 Phase 2 Study of Capecitabine-Temozolomide(CapTem) With Yttrium-90 Radioembolization in the Treatment of Patients With Unresectable Metastatic Grade 2/3 Neuroendocrine Tumors

This is a Phase 2 evaluation of hepatic-progression free survival among patients with Grade 2 liver-dominant NET metastases undergoing combination therapy with CapTem and Y90 radioembolization.The hypothesis is to confirm safety and to assess if disease control is improved relative to expectation from either therapy alone.

A Grade 3 arm was added in 2025.

Read the detailed description

Patients with liver-dominant Grade 2/3 NET metastases from any primary will start CapTem and undergo simulation angiography for radioembolization planning during the first cycle. If they tolerate CapTem and are not excluded from radioembolization, then TARE will be performed on Day 7 of Cycle 2, with additional TARE of Day 7 of cycle 3 or 4 as needed to treat the entire tumor burden. Patients will remain on CapTem until progression or intolerance.

Primary outcome measure is hepatic progression-free survival.

Being tested
Capecitabine Oral Product, Temozolomide Oral Product, transarterial radioembolization

What is being measured

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

  1. Intra-hepatic progression-free survival

    Intra-hepatic progression-free survival by RECIST 1.0 is defined as the time from initiation of study therapy until first documented intra-hepatic disease progression, death due to any cause or last scan date that documented intra-hepatic progression-free status.

    Measured: 2 years. Time from initiation of study therapy until first documented intra-hepatic disease progression, death due to any cause or last scan date that documented intra-hepatic progression-free status.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Overall Progression free survival

    Overall progression-free survival is defined as the time from initiation of study therapy until first documented intra- or extra-hepatic disease progression, death due to any cause or last scan date that documented progression-free status

    Measured: 2 years. time from initiation of study therapy until first documented intra- or extra-hepatic disease progression, death due to any cause or last scan date that documented progression-free status

  2. Intra-hepatic tumor responses by RECIST

    Intra-hepatic tumor responses will be evaluated by RECIST.

    Measured: 2 years. from time of initiation of study therapy until subject comes off of study, or study closes

  3. Intra-hepatic tumor responses by EASL

    Intra-hepatic tumor responses will be evaluated by EASL criteria.

    Measured: 2 years. from time of initiation of study therapy until subject comes off of study, or study closes

  4. extra-hepatic tumor responses

    extra-hepatic tumor responses will be evaluated by RECIST.

    Measured: 2 years. from time of initiation of study therapy until subject comes off of study, or study closes

  5. Number of participants with systemic toxicities

    Systemic toxicities will be individually assessed by NCI CTCAE Version 4.

    Measured: From period of enrollment to 24 months after last treatment

  6. Number of participants with hepatic toxicities

    Hepatic toxicities will be individually assessed by NCI CTCAE Version 4.

    Measured: From period of enrollment to 24 months after last treatment

  7. Change in CgA over time

    The primary marker is CgA. Additional cancer site-specific (i.e., gastrinoma) markers may also be assayed.

    Measured: Tumor markers will be assessed at baseline and then every 3 months for 24 months.

  8. Quality of Life by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire for Neuroendocrine tumor

    Quality of Life will be measure by a validated NET-specific instrument, EORTC. Scale is 0-100, higher scores indicate worse symptoms/functioning

    Measured: Quality of life will be measured at baseline and then every 3 months for 24 months .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Capecitabine Oral Product, Temozolomide Oral Product and transarterial radioembolization in people with Neuroendocrine Tumor Grade 2 and Neuroendocrine Tumors, run by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine at 5 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 16 inclusion and 12 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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 phase mean?

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Michael Soulen, MD (855-216-0098, michael.soulen@pennmedicine.upenn.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intra-hepatic progression-free survival (time frame: 2 years. Time from initiation of study therapy until first documented intra-hepatic disease progression, death due to any cause or last scan date that documented intra-hepatic progression-free status.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04339036, which also lists 24 linked publications.

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 8 Oct 2026.
