Neuroendocrine Tumors
Neuroendocrine tumors are derived from cells that release a hormone in response to a signal from the nervous system. Some examples of neuroendocrine tumors are carcinoid tumors, islet cell tumors, medullary thyroid carcinoma, and pheochromocytoma. These tumors secrete hormones in excess, causing a variety of symptoms. [Source: www.cancer.gov]

RADIANT-3: Advanced Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (Islet Cell Tumors) Study CRAD001C2324
The purpose of this clinical research study is to determine if an investigational drug is safe and effective in people who have advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. This cancer is also known as islet cell carcinoma. The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if the investigational drug can shrink or slow the growth of the tumors. In order to determine the safety and effectiveness of the investigational drug, the study doctor will monitor the physical state and well being of participants, evaluate changes in the size of their tumors, and perform laboratory tests. An “investigational drug” is a drug that is being tested and is not approved for sale in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Trial phase: Phase 3
Participation Duration: Participants will be asked to take 2 tablets (5 mg each) orally, once a day for a set number of days
Protocol Number: CRAD001C2324
