Summary

This trial is testing how well pazopanib hydrochloride works in treating patients with carcinoid tumors. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Who is the study for?
Adults with low or intermediate-grade neuroendocrine carcinoid tumors that can't be surgically removed or have spread, and show signs of progression. Participants must not have high-grade variants, significant recent cardiovascular issues, uncontrolled blood pressure, bleeding risks, immune compromise conditions, or certain gastrointestinal problems. Pregnant women and those on strong CYP3A4 inhibitors are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of Pazopanib Hydrochloride in slowing down or stopping tumor growth compared to a placebo. It's randomized and includes various assessments like echocardiography and MRI to monitor heart function and tumor changes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Pazopanib may cause liver issues (elevated liver enzymes), heart problems (high blood pressure, decreased heart function), risk of bleeding events (hemorrhage), fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, hair color change, loss of appetite.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Arm I (pazopanib hydrochloride)Experimental Treatment9 Interventions
Patients receive pazopanib hydrochloride PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo ECHO or MUGA during screening. Patients also undergo CT, MRI, and chest x-ray throughout the trial. Patients may optionally undergo blood sample collection during screening and on study.
Group II: Arm II (placebo)Placebo Group9 Interventions
Patients receive placebo PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. At the time of progressive disease, patients may cross-over to Arm I. Patients undergo ECHO or MUGA during screening. Patients also undergo CT, MRI, and chest x-ray throughout the trial. Patients may optionally undergo blood sample collection during screening and on study.
