Project title: New strategies to improve drug development for carcinoid tumors
Emily Bergsland, MD University of California, San Francisco
- Status: Active
- Year(s): 2018
- Grant Type: Investigator
- Research Type: Clinical
- Primary Tumor Site: Small intestine
- Area of Inquiry: Clinical trials
General Description
Incorporating serial blood samples and CT scan images from a recently clinical trial, a team of investigators from around the country will explore new approaches to monitoring response: evaluation of multiple proteins in circulating blood, and computational analysis of CT images. This very novel work could lead to the identification of better ways of assessing treatment effects, facilitating testing of the next generation of therapeutic agents in NETs.
