Brief Summary:
This is a randomized phase II non comparative study. Patients with metastatic Neuroendocrine Carcinomas (NEC) Grade 3, will be enrolled in the study and will be randomly assigned to receive FOLFIRI or CAPTEM as second line treatment. Disease control rate (DCR) and safety are primary objectives, secondary objectives are Disease control rate (OS), Progression Free Survival (PFS), quality of life and toxicity of subsequent line of therapy (after Progression Disease PD) with an observational purpose.
Detailed Description:
This is a multicenter randomized phase II non comparative study. Patients with metastatic NEC G3, will be enrolled in the study and will be randomly assigned to receive FOLFIRI or CAPTEM as second line treatment The primary objective is to assess DCR and the safety as co-primary objective. The secondary objectives are: OS, PFS, quality of life and toxicity of subsequent line of therapy (after Progression Disease PD) with an observational purpose.
The secondary exploratory objectives are the assessment of the impact of PET with gallium on PFS and the evaluation of biomarkers
