Brief Summary:
This randomized phase II trial studies how well giving temozolomide with or without capecitabine works in treating patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether temozolomide is more effective with or without capecitabine in treating patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) associated with temozolomide alone or temozolomide and capecitabine in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate response rates (RR) associated with temozolomide alone or temozolomide and capecitabine treatment in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

II. To evaluate overall survival (OS) associated with temozolomide alone or temozolomide and capecitabine in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

III. To evaluate the toxicity associated with temozolomide alone or temozolomide and capecitabine treatment in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

IV. To evaluate the usefulness of methyl guanine methyltransferase (MGMT) status (by immunohistochemistry [IHC] and promoter methylation) for predicting response in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor patients treated with either temozolomide or temozolomide and capecitabine.

V. To bank radiology images for evaluation of quality, reproducibility, and compliance with computed tomography (CT) methodology.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM A: Patients receive temozolomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 13 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM B: Patients receive capecitabine PO twice daily (BID) on days 1-14 and temozolomide PO QD on days 10-14. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 13 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 3 years.

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

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. PFS [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. RR defined by revised RECIST criteria version 1.1 [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Compared between arms using a two-group Fisher's exact test at an overall two-sided 20% significance level. In addition, within each arm, a 90% confidence interval on the true objective response rate will be no wider than 21 percentage points.

  2. Overall survival [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
  3. Toxicity rates using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
