Cabozantinib for adults with previously treated neuroendocrine tumors
Official title: CaboLife: A Prospective Non-Interventional Study on Effectiveness and Safety of Cabozantinib in Real-Life Setting for Previously Treated Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumour
Run by Ipsen · NCT07314164 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study will see how cabozantinib works and how safe it is for adults with neuroendocrine tumors that have continued to grow after prior systemic treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with unresectable or metastatic, well‑differentiated pancreatic or extra‑pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors who have had at least one prior systemic therapy (excluding somatostatin analogues) and whose physician has already decided to start cabozantinib are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients currently enrolled in interventional clinical trials, those with contraindications to cabozantinib, or those with resectable disease or who have not had prior systemic therapy (other than somatostatin analogues) are unlikely to be eligible or benefit from joining this observational study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study will follow about 150 adults with unresectable or metastatic, well-differentiated pancreatic or extra‑pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors who are starting cabozantinib as part of routine care. No extra procedures are required; investigators will collect data from standard medical visits, tests, and imaging to document tumor response, duration on treatment, side effects, and patient-reported quality of life. All participants must have received at least one prior systemic therapy (other than somatostatin analogues) and provide informed consent. The study is being conducted at regular hospitals and clinics in Germany and Austria to capture real-world use of cabozantinib.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could help doctors understand how well cabozantinib controls tumor growth and what side effects patients experience in routine care, improving treatment decisions for future patients.
How similar studies have gone: Small clinical series and early-phase reports have suggested cabozantinib activity in some neuroendocrine tumors, but large randomized evidence is limited.

Inclusion Criteria: Participants can join the study if they meet all of the following conditions: * Are 18 years or older and able to give informed consent. * Have a physician-initiated decision to start treatment with cabozantinib for neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), made before joining the study. * Have unresectable or metastatic, well-differentiated pancreatic (pNET) or extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (epNET). * Have already received at least one prior systemic therapy, other than somatostatin analogues. * Have signed a written informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: Participants cannot join the study if: * They are currently participating in an interventional clinical trial, or have done so within the last 3 months before joining this study. * They have a contraindication to cabozantinib treatment, based on the product's official prescribing information.
