Summary
This trial is testing different doses of two radioactive drugs (131I-MIBG and 90Y-DOTATOC) to see which is best tolerated when given together to treat neuroendocrine tumors in the midgut.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-70 with midgut neuroendocrine tumors that can't be surgically removed and have worsened despite treatment. They must have certain levels of blood cells, liver function, kidney function, and a tumor visible on scans. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, those at fall risk, with heart failure or other serious health issues are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests combining two radioactive drugs (131I-MIBG and 90Y-DOTATOC) to find the safest doses for treating midgut neuroendocrine tumors. These therapies target tumor cells with radiation from within the body.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include nausea, fatigue, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, kidney damage, and allergic reactions specific to the radioactive materials used.
