TriangleNCT02595424 · STUDY IN CONTEXT
Cisplatin and Etoposide Versus Temozolomide and Capecitabine in Patients With Advanced Poorly Differentiated (G3) Non-Small Cell Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Carcinomas
Draft scope assessment: unclear. Attached because the study's own record describes locally advanced disease. The study was not selected for this indication by its sponsor, and its eligibility has not been reconciled against this page in full. Found by searching ClinicalTrials.gov for this cancer type, restricted to studies that have posted results to the registry. No FDA notice, FDA label or NCI summary held by this site cites this study. Because the search asked for posted results, studies without posted results were never looked for, so their absence from this page means nothing.

Linked outcomes
The impact of each treatment regimen on objective response rate (ORR, defined as above in the secondary objective) are assessed by Ki-67 index level as an exploratory analysis. Using Youden's index, which considers specificity and sensitivity equally important, the optimal cutoff point of Ki-67 index to best predict response is 50.5. Using the optimal Ki-67 cutoff value of 50.5 from the ROC analysis, patients were divided into Ki-67 low (Ki-67 \< 50.5) and high (Ki-67 ≥ 50.5) groups. The impact of each treatment regimen on ORR was explored in Ki-67 low and Ki-67 high separately.
The impact of each treatment regimen on PFS and OS (defined as above in the primary and secondary objectives) are assessed by Ki-67 index level as an exploratory analysis. Using Youden's index, which considers specificity and sensitivity equally important, the optimal cutoff point of Ki-67 index to best predict response is 50.5. Using the optimal Ki-67 cutoff value of 50.5 from the ROC analysis, patients were divided into Ki-67 low (Ki-67 \< 50.5) and high (Ki-67 ≥ 50.5) groups. The impact of each treatment regimen on PFS and OS were explored in Ki-67 low and Ki-67 high separately.
The association between tumor differentiation (well differentiated versus poorly differentiated) with PFS, ORR and OS (defined as in the primary and secondary objectives) were evaluated.
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to documented progression or death without progression. PFS is censored at the date of last disease evaluation. The study was closed for futility in 2021 after the 2021 Spring DSMC meeting, which found that the boundary for futility had been met (ie, temozolomide and capecitabine did not appear to be superior to platinum and etoposide chemotherapy). As the interim analysis finding led to the conclusion of the study, no PFS stratified logrank test was conducted with the data extracted on April 23rd, 2025 for the final analysis, that was presented here.
OS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. OS is censored at the date of last contact. Median OS is estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Response is evaluated using the RECIST 1.1 criteria. CR is defined as disappearance of all lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \< 10 mm. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
