Recombinant Anti-tumor and Anti-virus Protein for Injection to Treat Advanced Neuroendocrine Tumors

Phase II Study of Recombinant Anti-tumor and Anti-virus Protein for Injection to Treat Advanced Neuroendocrine Tumors

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant anti-tumor and anti-virus protein for injection in treating patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors who have failed standard treatment or are unable to receive standard treatment.

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Neuroendocrine Tumors
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Recombinant anti-tumor and anti-virus protein for injection (Novaferon)

Detailed Description

This is a Phase Ⅱ exploratory clinical study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant anti-tumor and anti-virus protein for injection in treating patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors who have failed standard treatment or are unable to receive standard treatment.

Recombinant anti-tumor and anti-virus protein for injection, 10μg,im,3 times for the first week, followed by 20μg for two weeks, and followed a maintenance dose of 30μg, the frequency of administration is three times per week. Treatment continued until the patient died or had unacceptable toxicity or had disease progression or required to discontinue the treatment. At the time of disease progression, if investigators believe patients can continue to benefit from the investigational product, patients may be provided with recombinant anti-tumor and anti-virus protein for injection,but only survival follow-up datas will be recorded.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Adverse Events(AEs)	AEs are evaluated according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0.	1 year
Overall response rate(ORR)	ORR is defined as the percentage of subjects having achieved confirmed Complete Response + Partial Response as best overall response according to radiological assessments.	1 year
Overall survival (OS)	OS is defined as the length of time from random assignment to death or to last contact	3 years
