Official title: Influence of Tumour and Patient's Related Factors on the Response to Medical Treatments in Well Differentiated GEP-NENs
Run by IRCCS San Raffaele · NCT06356467 · Data updated 2026-11-12

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with well-differentiated, localized or advanced GEP-NENs who have received specific medical therapies for at least six months.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients under 18, those treated with loco-regional therapies, or those previously receiving radioligand therapy may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study investigates how various tumor and patient-related factors influence the response to medical treatments in patients with well-differentiated gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs). It involves a retrospective analysis of data collected from multiple centers, focusing on progression-free survival as the primary outcome. Additionally, a subgroup of patients will undergo transcriptome analysis to identify potential biomarkers that may predict treatment responses. The study aims to clarify the relationship between clinical variables and tumor behavior under treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more personalized treatment strategies for patients with GEP-NENs, improving their outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While the study's approach is observational and builds on existing knowledge, similar studies have shown promise in understanding treatment responses in neuroendocrine tumors.
