Study Summary
This trial is researching a newly described class of tumors that can occur de novo or over time, and will use special imaging to measure their impact on the body.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with well-differentiated grade 3 neuroendocrine tumors (WD G3 NET), including those in the pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, or lungs with specific characteristics. Participants must have a life expectancy over 3 months and at least one measurable lesion. They should be able to undergo MRI imaging if at UCSF, have good organ function, controlled blood pressure, and agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Lenvatinib combined with Pembrolizumab on patients with WD G3 NETs. It's a Phase II trial across multiple sites without selection based on biomarkers. The effects of treatment are monitored through blood samples, tumor biopsies, and Hyperpolarized 13C-Pyruvate MRI scans that measure changes in the tumor environment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions to Lenvatinib or Pembrolizumab; risks of bleeding; high blood pressure; wound healing complications; increased risk of infections due to immunosuppression; potential psychiatric disturbances from medication interactions.
