Clinical Trial: Everolimus in Patients With Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors Metastatic to the Liver Previously Treated With Surgery

Study Status: Terminated
Recruit Status: Terminated
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Phase II Study of Adjuvant Everolimus Following the Resection of Metastatic Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors to the Liver

Brief Summary: This randomized phase II trial studies how well everolimus works in treating patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors metastatic to the liver previously treated with surgery. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving everolimus after surgery may kill any tumors cells that remain.

Detailed Summary:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate if the addition of adjuvant everolimus to the R0 or R1 surgical resection of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor metastases to the liver will result in an improvement in disease free survival.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate if the addition of adjuvant everolimus to the R0 or R1 surgical resection of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor metastases to the liver will result in an improvement in overall survival.

II. To evaluate the toxicity associated with adjuvant everolimus following resection in patients with metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors to the liver.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM A: Patients receive everolimus orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM B: Patients receive placebo PO QD on days on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.

Current Primary Outcome: Disease free survival (DFS) [ Time Frame: From randomization to the earlier of documented recurrence (a return of tumor imaged by CT or MRI, new invasive primary cancer, or death without recurrence), assessed up to 5 years ]

Kaplan-Meier estimates will be used. DFS by arm will be compared using one-sided stratified log-rank tests. Cox's proportional hazards models will be used to estimate hazard ratios.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years ]

Kaplan-Meier estimates will be used. OS by arm will be compared using one-sided stratified log-rank tests. Cox's proportional hazards models will be used to estimate hazard ratios.


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
