Normal bone marrow and organ function as defined below:
- Granulocytes ≥ 1,500/mcL
- Platelets ≥ 100,000/mcL
- Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL
- Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN
- Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN
- AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN (≤ 5 x ULN if liver metastases are present)
- Urine protein ≤ 1+ OR urine protein to creatinine ratio ≤ 1; if UPC ratio is > 1 on urinalysis, then 24-hour urine collection for protein must be obtained and level must be < 1,000 mg for patient enrollment.
-
QTcF < 450 ms.
-
Normal LVEF.
-
Recovery from any major or minor surgeries.
-
Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control, abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she must inform her treating physician immediately.
-

Phase II Inclusion Criteria
-
Histologic documentation of well differentiated or moderately differentiated locally unresectable or metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor from either a primary or metastatic site with documented disease progression ≤ 12 months prior to enrollment whose disease is not currently amenable to surgery, radiation, or other modality therapy with curative intent. If different histologic classification schemes are used, equivalent histologic classifications (for example "grade 1," "low grade," or "intermediate grade") are allowed. There must be histologic documentation of a pancreatic primary site or clinical evidence of a pancreatic neuroendocrine primary tumor as determined by the treating physician. Documentation from a metastatic site is sufficient if there is clinical evidence of a pancreatic primary site. In the case of discordant pathology, patient eligibility will be determined by the PI after review of available records. Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (e.g., gastrinoma, VIPoma) in whom a pancreatic or peripancreatic primary site is strongly suspected are also eligible.
-
Evidence of measurable disease per RECIST 1.1. Measurable disease is defined as lesions that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as ≥ 2 cm with conventional techniques or as ≥ 1 cm with spiral CT scan.
-
There is no limit on the number of prior chemotherapy regimens allowed. Any prior treatment (with the exception of lanreotide or octreotide) must be completed at least 4 weeks prior to initiation of treatment.
-
Prior treatment with embolization or ablative therapies is allowed if measurable disease remains outside of the treated area or if there is definite progression of the treated lesions. There is no limit on the number of prior procedures.
-
