Study Details

Cabozantinib works by blocking the growth of new blood vessels that feed a tumor. In addition to blocking the formation of new blood cells in tumors, cabozantinib also blocks pathways that may be responsible for allowing cancers cells to become resistant to other "anti-angiogenic" drugs. Cabozantinib has been studied or is being study in research studies as a possible treatment for various types of cancer, including prostate cancer, brain cancer, thyroid cancer, lung cancer, and kidney cancer. In this research study, the investigators wish to learn if cabozantinib is effective in treating patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine and carcinoid tumors.

Arms

  • Experimental: Metastatic or Unresectable PNET
    An anticipated 35 patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors receiving cabozantinib
  • Experimental: Metastatic or Unresectable Carcinoid
    An anticipated 35 patients with advanced or metastatic carcinoid tumor receiving cabozantinib

Primary Outcome Measure

Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Imaging was performed cycles 2,4,6 every 8 weeks for the first 24 weeks, then every 3rd cycle every 12 weeks until progression or EOT. Median treatment duration was 8 cycles for the Carcinoid cohort and 12.5 cycles for the PNET cohort. Cycle=28 days. ]
