COMPETE Phase III clinical trial
COMPETE is led as an international, prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter phase III study. This means, that during the study new data will be collected (prospective), that results in patients receiving the new treatment are compared to a control group receiving the standard therapy (controlled) and that patients are randomly allocated to receive either n.c.a. Lutetium-177-Edotreotide or the current standard of care (randomized). Additionally, patients and physicians know what drug is being administered (open-label) and the study is conducted at multiple sites in multiple countries simultaneously (multicenter).
The trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the targeted radiopharmaceutical n.c.a. Lutetium-177-Edotreotide (PRRT) compared with the standard therapy Everolimus in patients with neuroendocrine tumors of gastroenteric or pancreatic origin (GEP-NET). It is intended specifically for patients who have progressive NETs which have spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or that cannot be removed with surgery.
If you are interested in taking part in the study, please ask your attending clinician whether you comply with the inclusion criteria.

Metastatic Liver NETs
A phase 1 Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Effectiveness of PV-10 Chemoablation of Neuroendocrine Tumours (NET) Metastatic to the Liver (protocol PV-10-NET-01) is open for recruitment.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of PV-10 in treating patients with neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) that have metastasized (spread) to the liver that cannot be treated with standard therapies such as surgery. To assess effectiveness of this treatment, information will be collected to see if common symptoms associated with NETs (e.g flushing or diarrhoea) can be reduced and whether the chemicals secreted by NET tumours are similarly reduced. If you have a NET which has spread to the liver, ask your doctor if you may be eligible to participate.
