Brief Summary: This phase II trial is studying how well CCI-779 works in treating patients with progressive metastatic neuroendocrine tumors Drugs used in chemotherapy such as CCI-779 work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
I To assess the objective tumor response rate ie partial or complete responses as defined by the RECIST criteria in patients with progressive metastatic neuroendocrine tumours given CCI-779
II To assess the stable disease rate and duration time to progression median survival time 1-year survival rate and toxicity in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine carcinomas given CCI-779 As of 19 July 2010 overall survival follow-up is to be discontinued for the four remaining patients on long term follow-up At that point in time these patients had been off-treatment for 3 to 5 years Time to progression and median survival times will be based on the currently available data
III To measure baseline levels of various elements up- and downstream of the mammalian target of rapamycin mTOR Where post-treatment biopsies are available they will be analyzed for suppression of elements in the mTOR pathway as well as for any effect on cell cycle progression apoptosis or anti-angiogenic effects
OUTLINE This is an open-label multicenter study
Patients receive CCI-779 IV over 30 minutes on days 1 8 15 and 22 Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients who achieve a complete response CR or partial response PR receive 2 additional courses beyond CR or PR
