Official title
Lurbinectedin as a Second-line Treatment for High-grade Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
Overview
* Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET) is a rare form of cancer. Treatment options such as hormonal therapy (octreotide) and targeted therapy (everolimus and sunitinib) may be considered for grade 1 or 2 pNETs; however, cytotoxic chemotherapy is essential in cases with grade 3 pNETs or pNECs. * Cisplatin/etoposide remains the treatment of choice for high-grade pNET/pNEC. Other irinotecan-based therapies, such as FOLFIRI (cisplatin/irinotecan), FOLFOX, and temozolomide ± capecitabine, have been employed; however, a standard of care remains to be established.
Detailed description
* Lurbinectedin, a selective inhibitor of oncogenic transcription, recently received accelerated FDA approval for lung cancer (small cell type) after demonstrating efficacy in an open-label, phase II basket study (ORR 35%, mOS 9.3 months, mPFS 3.5 months). * A previous study that involved patients with grade 2 or higher NET/NEC who had undergone treatment with lurbinectedin revealed that the ORR, mOS, and mPFS of the six patients with pNET was 6.5%, 7.4 months, and 1.4 months, respectively.
Interventions
- Drug Lurbinectedin 4 MG Injection [Zepzelca]
Lurbinectedin shall be administered intravenously at a dose of 3.2 mg/m2 over 60 minutes every 21 days. The administration of the study drug shall be continued until disease progression or the occurrence of unacceptable toxicity.
Primary outcome measures
- The overall response rate [Time frame: From date of first administration of drug until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24months"]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
- Disease control rate [Time frame: From date of the first administration of drug until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months]
- Duration of response [Time frame: From date of first documented response until the date of disease progression, relapse, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months.]
- Progression-free survival [Time frame: From the date of first infusion until the date of first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months.]
- Overall survival [Time frame: from the date of first infusion until death from any cause or loss to follow-up, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months.]
- Evaluate the safety and tolerability of Lurbinectedin [Time frame: From the date of first infusion until disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months.]
