Test continuing somatostatin shots after tumor progression in GEP NET
This trial studies whether it’s helpful to keep taking somatostatin “analog” injections even after your neuroendocrine tumor has started growing despite the usual dose. It also looks at how the next treatment choice (targeted pills or PRRT) fits in for people with non-functional, well-differentiated GEP NET.
Brasschaat, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT07605611Recruiting
Somatostatin and Diet vs. Stoma After Rectal Cancer Surgery
This trial tests whether using a medication called somatostatin plus a clear liquid diet can safely prevent serious complications after surgery to remove rectal cancer, without needing a temporary opening in the abdomen (stoma). You'll be randomly assigned to receive either somatostatin with diet changes or a stoma, depending on your individual risk factors.
Ezhou, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06830356Recruiting
