The purpose of this study is to see the safety and activity of using pasireotide, everolimus and radioembolization (Selective Internal Radioembolization Therapy-SIRT) in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors (carcinoid) that has spread to the liver. Both everolimus or radioembolization are considered "standard of care" regimens in patients with liver lesions from neuroendocrine tumors. However, the use of the combination of everolimus and radioembolization has not been formally evaluated in the setting of a clinical trial. Pasireotide is a medication that is intended to block the hormonal secretions from the neuroendocrine tumors.
This study is divided into two parts. In the first part, the aim of the study is to determine the safety of combining everolimus, pasireotide, and radioembolization. For this part of the study the investigators will enroll up to 18 patients. After the investigators confirm the safety of the combination, they will conduct the second part of the study which will focus on evaluating the effectiveness of the combination. For this part of the study the investigators intend to enroll a total of 37 patients.
Liver metastasis remain a major challenge in the care of patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET). This study is evaluating the combination of systemic therapies plus radioembolization for the treatment of liver metastasis from NET. The study allows pancreatic and intestinal NET that have spread to the liver.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluate the number of patients who develop side effects from combination therapy. | Determine the maximum tolerated dose of pasireotide and everolimus that can be administered with SIR spheres. Patients will be treated in cohorts of three. Dose of everolimus will be increased after every three patients. Plan is to determine the maximum dose that can be administered with less than 2 out of 6 patients develop significant side effects. | 1 month |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Compare the size of the tumor before and three months after treatment using cross sectional imaging (CT ro MRI) | To evaluate the response rate associated with the combination of pasireotide, everolimus and radioembolization. Response is defined as radiologic shrinkage in the size of the tumor. | 3 months |

Inclusion Criteria:
Confirmed low to intermediate grade neuroendocrine tumors with unresectable liver metastasis
Patients must have evidence of disease progression by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) despite optimal octreotide therapy (octreotide long acting release [LAR] 30 mg every month)
Prior treatment permitted include: surgery, prior systemic therapies (≤ 2 prior lines of chemotherapy), or radiation therapy
Patients must have measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 criteria
For the patients in the phase Ib study, neuroendocrine tumor must involve both liver lobes
Minimum of four weeks since any major surgery, completion of radiation, or completion of all prior systemic anticancer therapy (adequately recovered from the acute toxicities of any prior therapy)
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2
Adequate bone marrow function as shown by:
Adequate liver function as shown by:
International normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 (anticoagulation is allowed if target INR ≤ 1.5 on a stable dose of warfarin)
Patient receiving low molecular weight (LMW) heparin on stable therapeutic dose for more than 2 weeks or with factor Xa level < 1.1 U/mL can be enrolled if LMW heparin can be safely discontinued at least 24 hours prior to invasive vascular procedures (angiography and SIR-sphere administration)
Adequate renal function: serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN
Fasting serum cholesterol ≤ 300 mg/dL OR ≤ 7.75 mmol/L AND fasting triglycerides ≤ 2.5 x ULN. NOTE: In case one or both of these thresholds are exceeded, the patient can only be included after initiation of appropriate lipid lowering medication.
Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 14 days of the administration of the first study treatment. Women must not be lactating. Both men and women of childbearing potential must be advised of the importance of using effective birth control measures during the course of the study.
Signed informed consent to participate in the study must be obtained from patients after they have been fully informed of the nature and potential risks by the investigator (or his/her designee) with the aid of written information.
Exclusion Criteria:
Evidence of ascites, cirrhosis, portal hypertension or portal vein thrombosis
Prior radiation to the upper abdomen
Contraindications to angiography
Patients with extensive tumor replacement of the liver defined as tumor volume > 50% of liver
Lung shunt ≥ 20%
Prior treatment with any investigational drug within the preceding 4 weeks
Patients receiving chronic, systemic treatment with corticosteroids or another immunosuppressive agent. Topical or inhaled corticosteroids are allowed.
Patients should not receive immunization with attenuated live vaccines within one week of study entry or during study period. Close contact with those who have received attenuated live vaccines should be avoided during treatment with everolimus. Examples of live vaccines include intranasal influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, oral polio, bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), yellow fever, varicella and TY21a typhoid vaccines.
Uncontrolled brain or leptomeningeal metastases, including patients who continue to require glucocorticoids for brain or leptomeningeal metastases
Other malignancies within the past 3 years except for adequately treated carcinoma of the cervix or basal or squamous cell carcinomas of the skin
Patients who have any severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions or other conditions that could affect their participation in the study such as:
History of liver disease such as cirrhosis or chronic active hepatitis. Presence of Hepatitis B surface antigen (HepBSAg) or presence of hepatitis C antibody. History of, or current alcohol misuse/abuse within the past 12 months
Patients with the presence of active or suspected acute or chronic uncontrolled infection or with a history of immunocompromise, including a positive HIV test result (ELISA and Western blot)
Impairment of gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal disease that may significantly alter the absorption of everolimus (e.g., ulcerative disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome or small bowel resection)
Patients with an active, bleeding diathesis
Female patients who are pregnant or breast feeding, or adults of reproductive potential who are not using effective birth control methods. Adequate contraception must be used throughout the trial and for 8 weeks after the last dose of study drug, by both sexes. (Women of childbearing potential [WOCBP] must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 14 days prior to administration of pasireotide and everolimus) Oral, implantable, or injectable contraceptives may be affected by cytochrome P450 interactions, and are therefore not considered effective for this study.
Male patient whose sexual partner(s) are WOCBP who are not willing to use adequate contraception, during the study and for 8 weeks after the end of treatment
Patients who have received prior treatment with an mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor (e.g., sirolimus, temsirolimus, everolimus).
Patients with a known hypersensitivity to everolimus or other rapamycins (e.g., sirolimus, temsirolimus) or to its excipients
Known hypersensitivity to somatostatin analogues or any component of the pasireotide or octreotide LAR formulations
History of noncompliance to medical regimens
Patients unwilling to or unable to comply with the protocol
QT related exclusion criteria include:
Known gallbladder or bile duct disease, acute or chronic pancreatitis
