Brief summary

* Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET) is a rare form of cancer. Treatment options such as hormonal therapy (octreotide) and targeted therapy (everolimus and sunitinib) may be considered for grade 1 or 2 pNETs; however, cytotoxic chemotherapy is essential in cases with grade 3 pNETs or pNECs. * Cisplatin/etoposide remains the treatment of choice for high-grade pNET/pNEC. Other irinotecan-based therapies, such as FOLFIRI (cisplatin/irinotecan), FOLFOX, and temozolomide ± capecitabine, have been employed; however, a standard of care remains to be established.

Detailed description

* Lurbinectedin, a selective inhibitor of oncogenic transcription, recently received accelerated FDA approval for lung cancer (small cell type) after demonstrating efficacy in an open-label, phase II basket study (ORR 35%, mOS 9.3 months, mPFS 3.5 months). * A previous study that involved patients with grade 2 or higher NET/NEC who had undergone treatment with lurbinectedin revealed that the ORR, mOS, and mPFS of the six patients with pNET was 6.5%, 7.4 months, and 1.4 months, respectively.

Interventions

Lurbinectedin shall be administered intravenously at a dose of 3.2 mg/m2 over 60 minutes every 21 days. The administration of the study drug shall be continued until disease progression or the occurrence of unacceptable toxicity.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The overall response rateFrom date of first administration of drug until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24monthsThe proportion of participants who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined by the investigators according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Disease control rateFrom date of the first administration of drug until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months1\. Disease control is defined as the proportion of participants achieving complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) as assessed by investigators per RECIST v1.1 criteria.
Duration of responseFrom date of first documented response until the date of disease progression, relapse, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months.from date of first response to the date of disease progression, relapse, or death
Evaluate the safety and tolerability of LurbinectedinFrom the date of first infusion until disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months.Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0
Progression-free survivalFrom the date of first infusion until the date of first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months.time from the date of first infusion to disease progression or death from any cause
Overall survivalfrom the date of first infusion until death from any cause or loss to follow-up, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months.from the date of first infusion to death or loss to follow-up

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Tissue and blood sampling for discovering biomarkersEvery 6 weeks (two 28-day cycles) until the end of Cycle 6, and then every 9 weeks (three 28-day cycles) until documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months.Biomarker should be identified by statistical methods for correlation between disease control rates, response duration, progression-free survival, and overall survival.
