1 Clinical Trials Update 2013

2 Clinical Trials Update 2013 Dear NET colleagues The mission of the NET subgroup is, through collaboration, to develop and participate in practice-changing clinical studies to improve outcomes for patients with neuroendocrine tumours; linking clinical research with basic science, industry partners, and patient advocacy groups and charities. The past year has seen a change of Chair and review of the subgroup membership. In the pages that follow, you will find a summary of ongoing studies (either open to recruitment; or closed to recruitment, but still in follow-up) as well as studies in advanced stages of planning and due to open contact details of investigators are provided in order to enhance clinician and patient access. The UK is increasingly seen as an important contributor to national and international NET studies; including an enhanced profile with industry through excellent recruitment (e.g. COOPERATE-2, RADIANT-4 and BEZ studies). Well done and thank you to all investigators. In addition, translational research in NETs is being developed alongside the clinical portfolio (TRANSNET group; Chair: Tim Meyer), with the aim of opening translational studies addressing the role of imaging, pathology and biochemistry as potential biomarkers in NETs; the first of these (CALMNET) is due to open imminently. A number of pilot studies will be funded in 2014 following a recent call for proposals for NET Patient Foundation-funded grants. The future strategy of the group is to expand the current portfolio of studies from predominantly oncology-based studies in advanced disease, to include surgical studies (including adjuvant studies), and studies from non-oncology specialties (e.g. gastroenterology, interventional radiology, endocrinology) relevant to patients with NETs; we welcome any enthusiastic investigators to propose ideas or join the group. Best wishes for your respective research activities in Prof Juan W Valle Chair NET subgroup NCRI Upper GI Clinical Studies Group [email protected]
