Trial Outcomes & Findings for Entinostat Neuroendocrine (NE) Tumor (NCT NCT03211988)

NCT ID: NCT03211988

Last Updated: 2026-03-02

Results Overview

Objective response defined as complete response (CR) (Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm.) and partial response (PR) (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters) and will be determined from each participant's best confirmed response during protocol therapy. Response as evaluated per RECIST 1.1 criteria.

Measure
Entinostat
Eligible patients will be enrolled according to Simon's two-stage design. The dose of Entinostat is 5 mg (one tablet) orally, once every week in a 28 day cycle. Entinostat: Dose is 5 mg orally every week (days 1, 8, 15, and 22) of a 28 day treatment cycle. Study drug should be taken in the morning and on an empty stomach, at least 2 hours after a meal and at least 1 hour before the next meal. Tablets should be taken whole and not crushed.
