Recruiting PHASE2 Neuroendocrine Tumors

Compares treatment options for Neuroendocrine Tumors

Official title Everolimus 5 mg vs 10 mg/Daily for Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumors

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06472388

What this study is testing

What is Everolimus 5 MG?

Everolimus 5 MG is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for neuroendocrine tumors.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
Everolimus is approved in many countries to treat patients with advanced/metastatic well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NET), providing median progression-free survival times of approximately 12 months across different types of NET. However, it is can cause severe adverse effects.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • Time commitment: about 6 months
