The main purpose of this study is to see whether Axitinib will help prolong the time that the patient's carcinoid tumors remain stable, and to examine their treatment response through testing. Researchers also want to find out if Axitinib is safe and tolerable.

Patients with a "currently active" second malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancers, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, resected incidental prostate cancer (staged pathological tumor-2 (pT2) with Gleason Score ≤ 6 and postoperative prostatic specific antigen (PSA) \< 0.5 ng/mL), or other adequately treated carcinoma-in-situ are ineligible. Patients are not considered to have a "currently active" malignancy if they have completed therapy and are free of disease for ≥3 years. * Pregnant or lactating women, or adults of reproductive potential who are not using effective birth-control methods. * Prior antitumor therapy within 4 weeks of enrollment (with exception of somatostatin analogs) * Liver-directed therapy within 2 months of enrollment. Prior treatment with radiotherapy (including radio-labeled spheres and/or cyberknife, hepatic arterial embolization (with or without chemotherapy) or cryotherapy/ablation is allowed if these therapies did not affect the areas of measurable disease being used for this protocol or if progressive disease can be documented in the previously treated area. * Recent infection requiring systemic anti-infective treatment that was completed ≤14 days prior to enrollment (with the exception of uncomplicated urinary tract infection or upper respiratory tract infection) * Uncontrolled hypertension (blood-pressure \>140/90). Patient with baseline hypertension may be eligible after initiation of antihypertensive therapy.

Treatment arms and interventions
arm Groups
  1. description
    The investigational drug used in this study is axitinib, and is available as tablets. You will take the tablet orally with food. Doses should be taken around 12 hours apart continuously, without scheduled breaks. If you vomit anytime after taking a dose do not take another tablet to "make up the dose" but instead continue taking your next dose as planned. Any missed dose may be taken late (up to 3 hours before the next scheduled dose); otherwise it should be skipped. If doses are missed or vomited, please keep track of this and report at your next visit.

primary Outcomes
  1. description
    Progression-free survival rate at 12 months. PFS: determined as the time from administration of the initial dose of axitinib until objective tumor progression using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST), or death. Progressive Disease (PD) Appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Unequivocal progression should not normally trump target lesion status. It must be representative of overall disease status change, not a single lesion increase. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for Partial Response (PR) nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.

  1. description
    Tumor response rate using RECIST. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

    Overall survival by Kaplan Meier, determined from the time of drug administration to death from any cause. The effect of an intervention is assessed by measuring the number of subjects survived or saved after that intervention over a period of time. The time starting from a defined point to the occurrence of a given event, for example death is called as survival time and the analysis of group data as survival analysis.

    Grade 2 through 4 toxicities considered at least possibly related to treatment. Percentage of participants affected per category.

Adverse events will be evaluated continuously throughout the study. Safety and tolerability will be assessed according to the National Institute of Health/National Cancer Institute (NIH/NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4 (CTCAE v4) available at: http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/electronic\_applications/ctc.htm.

brief Summary
The main purpose of this study is to see whether Axitinib will help prolong the time that the patient's carcinoid tumors remain stable, and to examine their treatment response through testing. Researchers also want to find out if Axitinib is safe and tolerable.
detailed Description
This is a bi-institutional, prospective phase II, open-label study. The target population is comprised of adult patients with histologically confirmed unresectable or metastatic carcinoid tumors. Carcinoid tumors are defined as well to moderately differentiated neuroendocrine tumors of the digestive tract and lungs. Patients with metastatic carcinoid tumors of unknown primary as well as rare primaries (renal, ovarian, thymic, hepatic) will also be eligible. Patients will be drawn from two institutions Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC) and The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
