  • Olaparib + Usual Chemotherapy (Temozolomide) in PPGL | NeuroendocrineCancer

    Olaparib + Usual Chemotherapy (Temozolomide) in PPGL << Back Testing the Addition of an Anticancer Drug, Olaparib, to the Usual Chemotherapy (Temozolomide) for Advanced Neuroendocrine Cancer CLINICALTRIALS.GOV IDENTIFIER: NCT04394858 DRUG/TREATMENT: Olaparib and Temozolomide PHASE: 2 STATUS: Recruiting SPONSOR: National Cancer Institute (NCI) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuLlxvYXYHI Dr. Jaydira Del Rivero Discusses TMZ vs TMZ Olaparib DESCRIPTION: This phase II trial studies how well the addition of olaparib to the usual treatment, temozolomide, works in treating patients with neuroendocrine cancer (pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma) that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Chemotherapy drugs, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving olaparib with temozolomide may shrink or stabilize the cancer in patients with pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma better than temozolomide alone.

Since 2013, I have worked in academic medicine and clinical research, beginning with neonatology and pediatrics before transitioning to phase I oncology in 2016. My interest in neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) began during my MPH thesis, which became one of my first NET publications. From 2018–2023, I served as the primary NET coordinator at Moffitt Cancer Center, managing all clinical trials, leading the GI team, and driving retrospective and non-interventional research. In 2023, I transitioned to Senior Project Manager of the NET program, overseeing protocol development, database creation, and manuscript writing, while curating a master database of more than 10,000 NET patients. After nearly a decade at Moffitt, I concluded my tenure in September 2025 to begin medical school in Italy the following month. I have published more than 45 manuscripts and delivered oral presentations at both ENETS and NANETS. Beyond institutional research, I serve on the Board of Directors of NANETS (now in my second year) and on the board of FLaNET Carcinoid Community. I also actively mentor three students in neuroendocrine tumor research: two undergraduate pre-medical students and a high school prodigy pursuing mathematical oncology and AI. In July 2025, I launched TayTalks , a podcast exploring professional growth, medicine, and life. Looking ahead, I am eager to combine my research foundation, medical training, and passion for advocacy to advance the care of NET patients as a future physician-scientist.

  • upLIFT: Ersodetug in Insulinoma/Tumor Hyperinsulinism | NeuroendocrineCancer

    upLIFT: Ersodetug in Insulinoma/Tumor Hyperinsulinism << Back upLIFT: A Phase 3 Study of Ersodetug in Patients With Tumor Hyperinsulinism (Tumor HI) IDENTIFIER ( ClinicalTrials.gov ) : NCT06881992 DRUG/TREATMENT : Ersodetug PHASE : 3 STATUS : Recruiting SPONSOR : Rezolute DESCRIPTION: upLIFT Study Interim Update June 2, 2026 Rezolute has shared an interim update from the upLIFT clinical trial, which is studying an investigational therapy called ersodetug for people with Tumor Hyperinsulinism (Tumor HI). The study is now halfway through enrollment, with 8 of a planned 16 participants enrolled. Of those 8 participants, 6 have met the study's primary endpoint — a reduction of at least 50% in the intravenous (IV) glucose needed to maintain stable blood sugar levels. All 6 were also able to discontinue IV glucose entirely while receiving ersodetug. No drug-related side effects have been reported to date. Participants who complete the initial 8-week treatment period have the option to continue in a 6-month extended phase. Full topline results from the completed study are expected in the second half of 2026. Please note: ersodetug is an investigational therapy that has not yet been reviewed or approved by any regulatory health authority. Read the full press release here. Rezolute is a late-stage rare disease company focused on substantially improving the quality of life for individuals living with hyperinsulinism (HI) and is now enrolling participants in the upLIFT study, a phase 3 clinical trial that is testing whether or not a new therapy, called ersodetug , can safely reduce hypoglycemia in adults with tumor HI. In tumor HI, certain tumors (lumps or abnormal cell growths) in the pancreas or other parts of the body make too much insulin or a similar protein called insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2). Insulinomas are a rare type of neuroendocrine tumor that usually form from the insulin-secreting cells in the pancreas. Non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (sometimes called “Doege-Potter syndrome” or “paraneoplastic hypoglycemia”) is a rare condition where certain tumors outside the pancreas make too much hormone growth factors that can act like insulin. Both types of tumors can lead to very low blood sugar levels, a severe and potentially life-threatening complication of overactivation of the insulin receptor. Hypoglycemia can result in neurologic and cognitive problems as well as other serious health complications and may make it hard for people with tumor HI to stay healthy enough to continue their cancer treatments. We know that patients facing these complications often have complex needs and limited treatment options. We believe collaboration between patient advocacy organizations is essential to ensure patients receive the best possible support and access to care. This study is open to people 18 and older who have a type of tumor that causes tumor HI and are still experiencing frequent, serious low blood sugar levels, even with standard treatment. To learn more about the study or potential participation please talk to your doctor or visit upliftstudy.com or clinicaltrials.gov . You may also contact patient affairs via email at patient-affairs@rezolutebio.com for further assistance, if needed. Please note that ersodetug is still under investigation and has not been approved by any health authority.

    Tarlatamab in DLL3-Expressing Tumors Including Neuroendocrine Neoplasms << Back Tarlatamab in Advanced Delta-like 3 (DLL3)-Expressing Tumors Including Neuroendocrine Neoplasms IDENTIFIER ( ClinicalTrials.gov ) : NCT06788938 DRUG/TREATMENT : Tarlatamab PHASE : 2 STATUS : Recruiting SPONSOR : Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJCZzlD_kq8 Watch Dr. Jonathan Goldman, medical oncologist and clinical trial specialist at UCLA, as he provides an in-depth overview of a new clinical trial investigating tarlatumab, a DLL3-targeted bispecific T-cell engager designed to treat a wide range of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs). DESCRIPTION: This is a Phase II, multi-center “basket” study testing a medication called tarlatamab in people with advanced cancers that show a marker called DLL3. DLL3 is a protein found on the surface of some neuroendocrine and other hard-to-treat tumors. What is Tarlatamab? Tarlatamab is an anti-cancer therapy that helps the immune system find and attack cancer cells. It is already FDA-approved for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, but its use in other tumors is still considered investigational, meaning researchers are studying how well it works and how safe it is for these additional cancer types. About the Study This trial is being done to learn: How well tarlatamab works in treating DLL3-positive cancers What side effects it may cause How safe and tolerable the treatment is in different types of tumors The study is enrolling people with advanced DLL3-expressing tumors other than small cell lung cancer or neuroendocrine prostate cancer. Participants will receive tarlatamab as long as it is helping and side effects remain manageable. Treatment will continue until the cancer grows, side effects become unacceptable, the patient chooses to stop, or another medical reason requires stopping.

Triapine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis and cell growth. Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate is a radioactive drug. It binds to a protein called somatostatin receptor, which is found on some neuroendocrine tumor cells. Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate builds up in these cells and gives off radiation that may kill them. It is a type of radioconjugate and a type of somatostatin analog. Giving triapine in combination with lutetium Lu 177 dotatate may be more effective at shrinking tumors or slowing tumor growth in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors than the standard therapy of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate alone.
