A patient advocacy-led clinical research study aims to determine if patients who have rare tumors can benefit from matched molecular therapy based on the results of their genomic profiling. Patients with neuroendocrine tumors and unknown primaries may be eligible for this study. Sponsored by the TargetCancer Foundation, in collaboration with Foundation Medicine Inc., the TCF-001 TRACK (Target Rare Cancer Knowledge) Study uses next-generation sequencing to develop a comprehensive genomic profile of each participant’s tumor as well as their plasma circulating cell-free DNA (blood).

A new phase II clinical trial is exploring the effects of two approved chemotherapy drugs administered after surgery to treat adult patients who have high-risk, well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETS).

A new phase II clinical trial is evaluating the safety and effectiveness of 212Pb-DOTAMTATE in patients who have somatostatin receptor-expressing neuroendocrine tumors but who have not received peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, or PPRT.
