Brief Summary:
This pilot research trial studies molecular analysis in tissue samples from patients with advanced or metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. Studying samples of tissue from patients with neuroendocrine tumors in the lab may help doctors identify mutations to classify disease and plan the best treatment.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Feasibility, defined as the true proportion of patients whose CancerCode sequencing results in the identification of at least 1 actionable mutation [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Response rate, defined as at least a 30% decrease in target lesions when measureable by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    The response rate (with 95% two-sided confidence intervals) will be computed for all Arm B patients and separately for pre-specified subgroups (e.g., molecular profile-based treatment vs. NCCN guideline recommended).

  2. Progression-free survival [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    Progression-free survival time will be characterized for all Arm B patients and separately for pre-specified subgroups (e.g., molecular profile-based treatment vs. NCCN guideline recommended) using the method of Kaplan and Meier.

  3. Overall survival [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    Overall survival time will be characterized for all Arm B patients and separately for pre-specified subgroups (e.g., molecular profile-based treatment vs. NCCN guideline recommended) using the method of Kaplan and Meier.

  4. Proportion of Arm B patients whose therapy is changed as a result of physician access to CancerCode results [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
  5. Proportion of Arm B patients for whom a local protocol offers a potential therapeutic option based on CancerCode results [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]

Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Mutations occurring in greater than or equal to 10% of patients [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    Log-rank test and Kaplan-Meier plots will be used to assess the relationships between progression free interval and common mutations (>= 10%) or immunohistochemistry (IHC) test results in the entire population.

  2. Mutations in the mTOR pathway [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    Log-rank test and Fisher's exact tests will be used to assess the relationships between mutations in the mTOR pathway and progression free interval or response among Arm B patients treated with mTOR inhibitors.

  3. Prognostic value of MGMT status among patients on alkylating agents [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
  4. Prognostic value of ERCC1 for patients on platinum-based regimens [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
  5. Prognostic value of TP for patients on fluoropyrimidine-based regimens [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]

Layout table for eligibility information
Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Sampling Method:   Non-Probability Sample
Study Population
Patients with incurable neuroendocrine tumors, excluding small cell/large cell lung cancers and Merkel cell carcinomas
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Pathologically or cytologically confirmed neuroendocrine tumor which is metastatic, locally advanced or otherwise incurable (of any grade or primary site, excluding small cell lung cancers, large cell lung cancers, and Merkel cell carcinomas)
  • Evaluable disease by radiographic imaging
  • Adequate available tumor tissue (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded [FFPE] tissue or cytologic material) for sequencing (containing > 50% tumor cellularity by histopathology) or consent to tumoral biopsy for fresh tissue; adequacy will be determined by our pathology department, under supervision of Dr. Gustafson
  • Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent and Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) consent document
  • Life expectancy of >= 6 months
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) =< 2

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Localized neuroendocrine tumor for which the patient is eligible for a potentially curative surgical intervention
  • Primary diagnosis of pulmonary small cell carcinoma, pulmonary large cell carcinoma or Merkel cell carcinoma
  • Inability to provide informed consent
  • Inadequate tissue available for genetic testing
  • Any secondary active malignancy, excluding non-melanoma skin cancers; if the patient's prognosis will be primarily determined by their neuroendocrine tumor, the secondary malignancy is to be discounted
