Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy, safety, and survival benefit of etoposide plus cisplatin and irinotecan plus cisplatin in first-line therapy of non-primary pancreatic metastatic and/or unresectable gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor G3 type. In addition, the investigators will explore the resistance mechanisms of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor G3, and screen out biomarkers that can predict the efficacy of chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The prognosis of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor G3 type patients who cannot be surgically resected is poor. The median overall survival (OS) is only 6-10 months, and the 3-year survival rate is less than 10%. Among the neuroendocrine tumors of the digestive system, only pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor has a standard treatment strategy, and there is a lack of prospective clinical research data on other gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors. According to the chemotherapy regimen of small cell lung cancer, etoposide plus cisplatin or irinotecan plus cisplatin is the choice of rescue therapy for advanced non-surgical or metastatic neuroendocrine tumor G3 type. However, prospective studies are needed to confirm whether there are differences in efficacy and safety between the two chemotherapy regimens. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy, safety, and survival benefit of etoposide plus cisplatin and irinotecan plus cisplatin in first-line therapy of non-primary pancreatic metastatic and/or unresectable gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor G3 type. In addition, the investigators will explore the resistance mechanisms of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor G3, and screen out biomarkers that can predict the efficacy of chemotherapy.

Etoposide plus Cisplatin

Etoposide 100mg/m\^2 ivggt on days 1, 2, 3, Cisplatin 25mg/m\^2 ivggt on days 1, 2, 3, repeated every 21 days. When the investigator believes that the participant is not suitable for continued medication or the evaluation is progressive disease (PD) according to the RECIST 1.1 standard, the medication is over.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Etoposide

Intervention Type DRUG

Etoposide 100mg/m\^2 ivggt on days 1, 2, 3, Cisplatin 25mg/m\^2 ivggt on days 1, 2, 3, repeated every 21 days.

Irinotecan plus Cisplatin

Irinotecan 65 mg/m\^2 ivggt on days 1, 8, Cisplatin 30 mg/m\^2 ivggt on days 1, 8, repeated every 21 days. When the investigator believes that the participant is not suitable for continued medication or the evaluation is progressive disease (PD) according to the RECIST 1.1 standard, the medication is over.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Irinotecan

Intervention Type DRUG

Irinotecan 65 mg/m\^2 ivggt on days 1, 8, Cisplatin 30 mg/m\^2 ivggt on days 1, 8, repeated every 21 days.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* 1\. 18-75 years old, male or female. 2. Confirmed non-primary pancreatic metastatic and/or unresectable gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor G3 type patients by histopathological and imaging examinations.

3\. ECOG performance status 0-1. 4. Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks. 5. A histological specimen can be provided for secondary testing. 6. According to the evaluation criteria of solid tumor efficacy (RESIST 1.1), there should be at least one measurable lesion (empty organs such as esophagus and stomach cannot be taken as the measurable lesion), and the measurable lesion should not have received local treatment such as radiotherapy (the lesion located in the previous radiotherapy area is also selected as the target lesion if the lesion progression is confirmed).

7\. Never received system treatment before, including cytotoxic drugs. For patients who have received adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy appears recurrence or metastasis more than 6 months from accepting the last dose of chemotherapy drugs can be screened.

8\. The main organ function meets the following criteria within 7 days before treatment:
1. Blood routine examination criteria (without blood transfusion within 14 days): hemoglobin (HB) ≥ 90g/L, the absolute value of neutrophils (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 10\^9/L, platelet (PLT) ≥ 80 x 10\^9/L.
2. Biochemical examinations must meet the following criteria: total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 x ULN, serum creatinine (Cr) ≤ 1.5 x ULN or creatinine clearance (CCR) ≥ 60 mL/min.
3. Doppler ultrasound assessment: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ normal low limit (50%).

9\. Fertile men and women must use effective contraception during the study period and within 6 months after the end of the study.

10\. Volunteered to participate in the study and signed an informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria
