Ended Human Pharmacology (Phase I)- First administration to humans Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) is a heterogeneous group with varying symptoms, tumor biology and treatment response. NENs may occur in any organ, most commonly they are observed in the gastroenteropancreatic system and lungs. Most NEN patients are diagnosed at advanced stage, 65% of them will die within 5 years. The only curative treatment is surgery with complete resection of the primary tumor. However, more than 50% of patients exhibit metastatic disease, where there is no cure.

What this study is testing

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of repeated infusions of AdVince into the hepatic artery in patients with metastatic NENs and if possible determination of maximum tolerated dose (MTD).
