  • Episode 13: NET Oncology | NeuroendocrineCancer

    << Go back to the Podcast page EPISODE 13: NET ONCOLOGY Download a Transcript of this Episode >> ABOUT THIS EPISODE Is it okay for NET patients to take “statin” medications to lower cholesterol or SSRI medication for depression? How often should full body scans be done? NET oncologist Dr. Jun Gong of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center addresses ten common questions you might ask your NET oncologist along your NET journey. MEET DR. JUN GONG Dr. Jun Gong is a medical oncologist of the Gastrointestinal Disease Research and Carcinoid and Neuroendocrine Tumors Group in the Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute at Cedars-Sinai. His primary clinical interests are in gastrointestinal (GI) cancers with a multidisciplinary focus of care along with colleagues from surgery, gastroenterology, radiation oncology, and radiology. He is focused on translational and clinical cancer research in early therapeutic trials and biomarker development to improve patient outcomes in GI cancers. TOP 10 NET ONCOLOGY QUESTIONS 1. Which is better -- if the tumor is expressing somatostatin on its receptors by DOTATATE scan or biomarker in tissue biopsy? 2. Since the somatostatin analogues bind to somatostatin receptors, can NET patients take “statin” medications for high cholesterol? 3. Is there a link between psychiatric medications and NETS? Can someone with NET take selective serotonin receptor inhibitors SSRI or SNRI? 4. What is the difference between genetic and genomic testing? When would you do genetic screening/testing and when would you do genomic testing/tumor sequencing? 5. Is it possible to find NET markers on serum or blood by using mass spectrum without biopsies? Is there a promising liquid biopsy? 6. How often should full body scans be done to discover metastases to other body parts? 7. Can well differentiated tumors become poorly differentiated? 8. Can NETs produce multiple hormones? Should one try to control any production of any hormones for general prevention? Should we control serotonin production generally? 9. How aggressive should you be to seek out new treatments when tumor burden is stable? (Some patients want to get rid of tumors so side effects of tumors are lessened.) 10. How common is having issues with liver functionality? What are the signs of liver failure due to tumor burden?

Explore event details, dates, times, and discover opportunities to connect, learn, and get involved. < Back to the upcoming events page https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb7aH06UWrE Download PowerPoint Slides >>> Some Topics Covered: Types of Functional Neuroendocrine Tumors, Hormone-producing, Carcinoid Syndrome, Insulinoma, Gastrinoma, VIPoma, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES), Diarrhea, Flushing, Hypoglycemia, Carcinoid Heart Disease, Cushing Syndrome, Somatostatinoma. ABOUT Join us for an easy-to-understand overview of functional neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) with Dr. Jaydira Del Rivero, a medical oncologist and endocrinologist at the National Cancer Institute. Functional NETs can cause the body to produce too many hormones, leading to challenging symptoms such as low blood sugar (often seen in insulinoma), high blood sugar (glucagonoma), carcinoid syndrome (excess serotonin), and other hormone-related issues and symptoms. Dr. Del Rivero will explain what these syndromes are, how they’re diagnosed, and the latest updates in treatment. She will also discuss conditions that can occur because of NETs or their treatments. She will help patients understand why symptoms like hypoglycemia are more common in some NET types. Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, or simply want to better understand functional NETs, this webinar will offer practical, up-to-date information to help you feel more informed and empowered.

  • Alpha PRRT with RYZ401 in PRRT-naive Solid Tumors Expressing SSTRs | NeuroendocrineCancer

    Alpha PRRT with RYZ401 in PRRT-naive Solid Tumors Expressing SSTRs << Back Study of RYZ401 in Subjects With Solid Tumors Expressing SSTRs IDENTIFIER ( ClinicalTrials.gov ) : NCT07165132 DRUG/TREATMENT : RYZ401 PHASE : 1 STATUS : Recruiting soon SPONSOR : Rayzebio DESCRIPTION: This clinical trial is testing a new treatment called RYZ401 in people with certain neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and other solid tumors that have a protein on their cells called SSTR (somatostatin receptor). RYZ401 is an investigational (not yet approved) drug — meaning this study is meant to learn how safe it is and whether it may help treat these cancers. Who Can Join Adults aged 18 or older with a confirmed NET or other SSTR-positive cancer (such as certain neuroendocrine tumors or related solid tumors) may be eligible. What Will Happen During the Study The study includes a dose-finding (dose escalation) phase and a dose-expansion phase. Participants will receive RYZ401 and be monitored carefully for safety, side effects, and how their body handles the drug. Researchers will also look for early signs of benefit — for example, whether the tumor shrinks or stops growing. Why This Study Matters If RYZ401 proves to be safe and effective, it could become a new treatment option for patients with neuroendocrine tumors or other SSTR-positive cancers — especially those who may not have many other treatment choices.

    DAREON®-NEC-1: Obrixtamig Plus Chemotherapy vs Standard Chemotherapy in Advanced epNEC << Back DAREON ®-NEC-1: A Study in People With Advanced Extrapulmonary Neuroendocrine Cancer (epNEC) to Compare Obrixtamig Plus Carboplatin and Etoposide Treatment With Standard Chemotherapy IDENTIFIER ( ClinicalTrials.gov ) : NCT07544654 DRUG/TREATMENT : Obrixtamig , Carboplatin , Etoposide PHASE : 3 STATUS : Recruiting SPONSOR : Boehringer Ingelheim A Phase III, Multi-center, Open-label, Randomised, Controlled Trial of Intravenous Obrixtamig in Combination With Carboplatin and Etoposide vs. Carboplatin and Etoposide as First-line Therapy in DLL3-positive Patients With Unresectable Locally Advanced or Metastatic Extrapulmonary (outside of the lungs) Neuroendocrine Carcinomas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjABtPcGEds In this video, Udhayvir Grewal, MD, a gastrointestinal and neuroendocrine medical oncologist at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, explains the DAREON™-NEC1 clinical trial for patients with advanced DLL3-positive extrapulmonary neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC). DESCRIPTION: This study is open to adults with advanced extrapulmonary neuroendocrine cancer. The purpose of this study is to find out if a study medicine called obrixtamig plus standard chemotherapy (carboplatin and etoposide) improves survival when compared to standard chemotherapy (carboplatin and etoposide) alone. Obrixtamig is an antibody-like molecule that may help the immune system fight cancer. Another purpose of the study is to test a medical device being developed to measure levels of the tumour marker delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3). Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group (treatment arm) receives obrixtamig and standard chemotherapy followed by obrixtamig alone for up to 3 years. The other group (control arm) receives standard chemotherapy without obrixtamig for about 4 months. All treatments are given as infusions into a vein. During the study, participants in both groups visit the study site regularly. Participants in the treatment arm stay overnight at the study site following the first 2 obrixtamig treatments. The doctors regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. At some of the visits, doctors check the size of the tumour(s). The results are compared between the 2 groups to see whether the treatment works.
