Azedra and Lutathera for the Treatment of Neuroendocrine Tumors

Trial Status: withdrawn

This phase I/II trial studies the effect of Azedra and Lutathera in treating patients with neuroendocrine tumors. Azedra (which uses radioactive iodine) and Lutathera (which uses the radioactive element lutetium) are radioactive drugs to treat neuroendocrine tumors. Many neuroendocrine tumors have receptors on their cells for both of these radioactive drugs to target. In order to kill as many tumor cells as possible, the radioactive drugs must target as many of these receptors as possible. Giving Azedra and Lutathera together may kill more tumor cells in patients with neuroendocrine tumors.
