Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Diagnosis of gatroenteropancreatic (GEP), pulmonary or unknown primary NET 2.Unresectable liver metastases, according the judgment of surgeon, (the reasons for the opinion of surgeon should be made explicit) 3.Hepatic involvement =50% volume of the organ 4.Well (G1) or medium (G2) differentiated histology (according to WHO 2010 classification) 5.Ki67 = 20% (G1-G2) 6.Life expectancy > 6 months 7.Age = 18 and =65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 40

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Previous loco-regional postsurgical treatment 2. Low differentiated histology 3. Severe concomitant morbidities such as: severe coagulopathy (to be detailed), severe liver failure (to be detailed), renal failure (creatinine > 2.0 mg/dl) and heart failure (NYHA 3-4 or instable ischemic heart disease), contraindicating the interventional procedure or influencing the general prognosis 4. Extrahepatic metastasis in critical locations as: brain, spinal cord, lung with respiratory impairment, symptomatic vertebral lesions 5.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: • To verify if adding a locoregional treatment of liver metastasis (with trans-arterial embolization–TAE) to a medical treatment (with Octreotide LAR and eventually in combination with other medical treatments of proven efficacy), can prolong the progression free survival of patients affected by NET with inoperable liver metastases;Secondary Objective: -overall survival -objective response rate -quality of life -toxicity -prognostic factors;Primary end point(s): progression free survival;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Radiological assessment will be perform, for both arms of study, at following times: -just before randomization (this assessment demonstrates liver progression of disease and contribute to define the eligibility of patient for randomization) -after 3 months (this assessment have to perform in both arms and, for experimental arm, contributes to orient the second round of TAE) -after 6 months from randomization and therefore, every 6 months (in boths arms of trial)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): -overall survival -objective response rate;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Radiological assessment will be perform, for both arms of study, at following times: -just before randomization (this assessment demonstrates liver progression of disease and contribute to define the eligibility of patient for randomization) -after 3 months (this assessment have to perform in both arms and, for experimental arm, contributes to orient the second round of TAE) -after 6 months from randomization and therefore, every 6 months (in boths arms of trial)
