Prospective Multicenter Real-world Study of Surufatinib in Patients With Advanced Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

Phase 4 Interventional Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital · NCT07272512

This study will see if daily oral surufatinib, given alone or with other treatments, helps adults with advanced neuroendocrine tumors when used in regular clinical practice.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, open-label phase 4 study enrolling about 350 adults with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced neuroendocrine neoplasms and measurable disease. Participants receive oral surufatinib as monotherapy (300 mg once daily) or in combination regimens (250 mg once daily) per treating physician judgment, with treatment continued until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Regular imaging, laboratory tests, cardiac monitoring, and patient-reported outcome questionnaires will track tumor response, adverse events, quality of life, and treatment adherence. Primary endpoints include progression-free survival, objective response rate, disease control rate, overall survival, and a comprehensive safety assessment.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults with confirmed advanced neuroendocrine neoplasms who have at least one measurable lesion by RECIST 1.1, adequate organ and marrow function, and a life expectancy greater than 12 weeks are ideal candidates.

Not a fit: Patients with contraindications to surufatinib (for example active bleeding, uncontrolled hypertension, recent major surgery, severe hepatic or renal impairment), pregnant individuals, or those receiving conflicting investigational therapies are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, surufatinib could prolong disease control and help maintain or improve quality of life for people with advanced neuroendocrine neoplasms.

How similar studies have performed: Surufatinib has demonstrated clinically meaningful efficacy in prior phase 3 trials for both pancreatic and extra‑pancreatic NETs, and this phase 4 work aims to characterize its real-world use.
