Are you looking for a regimen but can't find it here? For placebo or observational studies in this condition, please visit this page. If you still can't find it, please let us know so we can add it!
Note: This page is now exclusively focused on those tumors commonly called carcinoids, which may or may not be associated with the carcinoid syndrome; there are now separate pages for pancreatic NET and other endocrine cancers. Neuroendocrine tumors of unknown primary and poorly differentiated (high-grade) neuroendocrine carcinomas are usually treated with a small cell lung cancer regimen; see this page for histology-specific options.

Kölby et al. 2003	1991-1998	Randomized Phase 2 (E-esc)	Octreotide LAR	Superior TTP
Yao et al. 2017 (SWOG S0518)	2007-2012	Phase 3 (C)	Octreotide & Bevacizumab	Did not meet primary endpoint of PFS

Note: Kölby et al. 2003 did not specifically say whether Interferon alfa-2b (Intron-A) or Interferon alfa-2a (Roferon-A) was used.

Endocrine therapy

Octreotide (Sandostatin) 0.1 mg SC twice per day
- Patients with persistent carcinoid symptoms could receive increased doses up to 0.2 mg SC three times per day

Immunotherapy

Interferon alfa-2b (Intron-A) 3,000,000 units (route not specified) once per day, 3 days per week
- Increased as needed based on symptoms up to 5,000,000 units (route not specified) once per day, 5 days per week

- Cycle 2 onwards: 200 mg/m² PO once per day on days 1 to 5

Supportive therapy

Tropisetron (Navoban) (dose/route/schedule not specified) routinely used as an antiemetic

28-day cycles
