Details and patient eligibility

About

This is a Phase II study in 2 stages, evaluating BEZ235 plus best supportive care (BSC) versus placebo plus BSC in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) after failure of mTOR inhibitor therapy.

Study design: This was a Phase II, two-stage, multicenter study, where Stage 1 was a single arm, open label design and Stage 2 was planned to be a randomized, double-blind study.

However, at the end of Stage 1, the futility was met and hence the Stage 2 was not initiated.

Description:
Stage 1 consisted of a single arm where patients received BEZ235 300mg or 400mg bid. Initially the study started with a dose of 400mg bid. However, following an amendment after the preliminary safety and tolerability data from the first 3 patients treated at the 400mg dose, the dosage was changed to 300mg bid.
