Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Histologically confirmed unresectable metastatic G1-G3 differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (non-functional and functional NET) with a proliferation rate assessed by Ki-67 up to 55% - excluding neuroendocrine carcinomas - Age: 18-80 years - Measurable disease (RECIST 1.1) - Progressive disease under treatment with either non-DTIC-based chemotherapy, SSA analogues, everolimus or sunitinib. - No prior therapy with DTIC is allowed. Prior therapy with temozolomide is allowed with a temozolomide-free interval of at least 6 months prior to trial inclusion. Prior TACE and SIRT allowed with a minimum of 3 months before study entry, prior PRRT with a minimum of 12 months before study entry - ECOG 0-1 - Life expectancy > 12 weeks - Adequate renal, hepatic, bone marrow and coagulation function - Sexually active patiens: postmenopausal, surgically sterile, or use of effective contraception (Pearl Index =65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 15

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Pregnancy or lactation. - Secondary malignancy in patient’s history with the exception of: disease-free period > 5 years before randomization or non-melanoma skin cancer or curatively treated cervical carcinoma in situ or other noninvasive in situ neoplasm. - Allergy against dacarbazine or ramucirumab - Current enrolment or participation within the last 4 weeks in a clinical drug trial - Any arterial thromboembolic events within 6 months prior to first dose of protocol therapy.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 months from study entry;Main Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate whether ramucirumab in combination with dacarbacine has an effect on the disease-control in patients with progressive pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors;Secondary Objective: Secondary aims are to investigate the tumor response, survival, progression-free survival, the toxicity profile of the combination therapy, the biochemical response and Quality of Life. Additionally a translational research aims to investigate predictive biomarkers. ;Primary end point(s): Disease control rate (DCR) after 6 months from study entry, determined according to RECIST 1.1 or death

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Objective tumor response (ORR) - progression-free survival (PFS) - overall survival (OS) - toxicity - biochemical response (tumor marker chromogranin A; in cases of functional NET: gastrin, insulin) - Quality of Life (EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire) Translational research: - Predictive biomarkers (circulating VEGF, ANGPT1/2 and IL8 levels, immunohistochemical VEGFR2 expression).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - 6 months from study entry (ORR, QoL) - time point of tumor progression (PFS) - death of the patient (OS) - Until 30 days after last administration of study therapy (toxicity) - Baseline, day 1 of each cycle, end of treatment (biochemical response, predictive biomarkers)
