Carcinoid Tumor

The primary objectives are to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and optimal treatment regimen, characterize safety and tolerability, and evaluate preliminary efficacy of RYZ401 in subjects with NETs and other selected solid tumors expressing SSTRs.

A Phase 3, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of paltusotine treatment vs placebo as well as the long-term safety of paltusotine in adults with carcinoid syndrome due to well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors. The purpose of this study is to continue the evaluation of the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of paltusotine in participants with carcinoid syndrome.

This is a multi-site, three-cohort phase II trial of cabozantinib for IMDC all-risk frontline metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patients OR any line mRCC patients who have not previously been treated with cabozantinib, and patients with pancreatic or extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

Patients with digestive tract malignancy often experience severe and unremitting abdominal pain that negatively affects physical, emotional, and social function, as well as health related quality of life (HRQOL). Therapeutic virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a promising and evidence-based treatment modality for cancer pain. Users of VR wear a pair of goggles with a close-proximity screen in front of the eyes that creates a sensation of being transported into lifelike, three-dimensional worlds. To date, VR has been limited to short-term clinical trials for cancer pain. Moreover, limited research exists on theory-based VR modalities beyond mere distraction, such as VR that employs acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with components of biofeedback and mindfulness. To bridge these gaps, this study seeks to: (1) assess the impact of immersive VR on patient-reported outcomes (PROs), including pain, activity metrics, and opioid use among patients with visceral pain from a digestive tract malignancy; (2) assess differences in PROs, activity metrics, and opioid use between skills-based VR therapy vs. distraction VR therapy; and (3) determine patient-level predictors of VR treatment response in visceral cancer pain. To address these aims, the study will measure PROs and opioid use in 360 patients randomized among 3 groups and follow them for 60 days after enrollment: (1) an enhanced VR group receiving skills-based VR; (2) a distraction-based VR group receiving patient-selected VR videos; and (3) a VR sham control group using a VR headset with 2-D content. The results will inform best practices for the implementation of VR for visceral cancer pain management and guide selection of patient-tailored experiences.

SAFRO 2202 ALG-Lung Cancer Registry is a prospective, multicenter, non-interventional observational study conducted across 21 public and university hospitals in Algeria. The objective is to characterize the epidemiological, clinical, pathological, molecular, and therapeutic features of patients diagnosed with lung cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and carcinoid tumors. Eligible participants are adults aged 18 years or older, diagnosed at the time of inclusion or within the previous 12 months, and fully managed in oncology or pulmonology departments. Data are collected during routine clinical care and recorded in a secure electronic case report form (eCRF). No protocol-mandated interventions or study-specific visits are required. The study plans to enroll approximately 1,500 patients per year over a 30-month period. Primary outcomes include demographic and clinical profiles, tumor histology, molecular markers, staging at diagnosis, and treatment strategies (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy). Secondary outcomes include treatment-related toxicities, objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), time to treatment discontinuation (TTD), and overall survival (OS). The findings from this registry will provide real-world evidence to support national health planning, improve lung cancer management, and guide future clinical and public health initiatives in Algeria.
