Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • confirmed, locally advanced/unresectable or , well-differentiated Grade 1, 2, or 3 NETs of pancreatic origin or extra-pancreatic origin.
  • Allowed , based on the site of NET and functional status.
  • Documented radiographic disease progression per 1.1, as assessed by the Investigator based on imaging assessments (computed tomography [CT] or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) within 12 months before randomization.
  • according to RECIST 1.1 as determined by the Investigator.
  • is required, if available. If archival tumor tissue is not available, a fresh biopsy may be submitted if it can be safely and feasibly obtained. Every attempt should be made to provide tumor tissue.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Histologically confirmed neuroendocrine carcinomas (including small cell lung cancer), medullary thyroid cancer, pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, Merkel cell carcinoma, and mixed neuroendocrine non-neuroendocrine neoplasm (MiNEN).
  • Prior treatment with a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) -targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitor or a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor.
  • Systemic chemotherapy and any liver-directed or other ablative therapy within 4 weeks before randomization.
  • Systemic radionuclide therapy within 6 weeks before randomization.
  • Radiation therapy for bone metastases within 2 weeks, any other radiation therapy, except as indicated above, within 4 weeks before randomization.

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

RECIST

The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.

“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.
