Brief summary
This study is designed as Phase II/III. Phase II is aimed to evaluate safety and efficacy of Simmtecan and the 5-FU/LV regimen (FOLFSIM regimen) plus Toripalimab. Phase III is aimed to verify inferiority of the overall survival of FOLFSIM regimen plus Toripalimab in comparison with EP/EC in advanced or metastatic neuroendocrine cancer.
Detailed description
This is a Phase II/III, randomized, two-part, multi-center study, in which subjects with advanced or metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma will be enrolled. This study will be conducted in two parts: Part 1, the Phase II study was to: (i) evaluate the safety and tolerability of the FOLFSIM regimen plus Toripalimab; and (ii) identify the recommended dose; (iii) assess the antitumor activity; (iv) the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of the drugs in the regimen. Part 2, the Phase III study was to verify inferiority of FOLFSIM regimen plus Toripalimab compared with the current standard chemotherapy (EP/EC regimen) in the first-line treatment of advanced or metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma.
Interventions
Simmtecan was administered intravenously at 80 mg per square meter on day1 with LV 400 mg per square meter administered as a 2-hour infusion, and 5-FU 2400 mg per square meter as a 46-hour infusion on day1 every 2 weeks in one course.
Toripalimab was administered intravenously at 240 mg on day 1 every 2 weeks in one course.
Etoposide was administered intravenously at 100 mg per square meter on day 1,2,3 with Cisplatin at 80 mg per square meter on day 1 every 3 weeks in one course.
Etoposide was administered intravenously at 100 mg per square meter on day 1,2,3 and Carboplatin with AUC 5mg/mL/min on day 1 every 3 weeks in one course.

Predicted survival \<3 months; 7. Severe, uncontrolled medical condition that would affect patients' compliance or obscure the interpretation of toxicity determination or adverse events, including active severe infection, uncontrolled diabetes, angiocardiopathy (heart failure \> class II NYHA, heart block \>II grade, myocardial infarction, unstable arrhythmia or unstable angina within past 6 months, cerebral infarction within past 3 months) or pulmonary disease ( interstitial pneumonia, obstructive pulmonary disease or symptomatic bronchospasm); 8.

History with tuberculosis; 11. The side effects caused by the previous treatment of the subjects did not return to CTCAE ≤1; except hair loss and other tolerable events determined by investigator; 12. Hypersensitivity to Simmtecan or recombinant humanized antiPD1 monoclonal Ab or its components; 13. Prior antitumor therapy (including chemotherapy, target therapy, corticosteroids and immunotherapy) or participation in other clinical trials within past 4 weeks, or have not recovered from toxicities since the last treatment; 14. Patients who received a potent inhibitor or inducer of CYP3A4 within 1 week prior to the first dose; 15. Prior radical radiothearpy within past 4 weeks; 16. Prior major surgery within past 4 weeks (diagnostic surgery excluded); 17. Prior live vaccine therapy within past 4 weeks; 18.

Underlying medical condition that, in the Investigator's opinion, would increase the risks of study drug administration or obscure the interpretation of toxicity determination or adverse events.
