Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
National Cancer Center, Korea
Brief Summary

* 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.

SINGLE_GROUP
Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
single armLurbinectedin 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
NameTimeMethod
The overall response rateFrom 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"

The proportion of participants who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined by the investigators according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Disease control rateFrom 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

1. Disease control is defined as the proportion of participants achieving complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) as assessed by investigators per RECIST v1.1 criteria.

Duration of responseFrom 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.

from date of first response to the date of disease progression, relapse, or death

Progression-free survivalFrom 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.
