Thalidomide in Combination With Temodar in Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumors
April 27, 2009 updated by: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
A Phase II Study of Thalidomide in Combination With Temodar in Patients With Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good or bad, that thalidomide and temodar have on patients with neuroendocrine tumors.

Detailed Description
- Patients will receive thalidomide orally once daily continuously unless they experience significant side effects. Temodar is given orally once a day for one week, followed by a one week break period. This one week on/one week off schedule will continue for the duration of treatment unless there are significant side effects.
- After eight weeks (2 cycles) a CT scan will be performed to see how the treatment has affected the patient's tumor. Patients will continue taking the study drug unless there is evidence of tumor growth.
- Regular blood tests will be done weekly during the first two months to make sure that the treatment is not resulting in serious side effects. If there are no side effects during the first two months, the blood tests may decrease in frequency to every two weeks.
- Immediately after the patient has completed the study they will be evaluated by physical exam, blood work, and a CT scan. The follow-up will consist of clinic visits and phone calls every 3 months.
