Sorafenib Tosylate in Treating Patients With Progressive Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Gastrinoma, Glucagonoma, Insulinoma, Metastatic Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Tumor, Neuroendocrine Tumor, Pancreatic Polypeptide Tumor, Recurrent Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Tumor, Recurrent Islet Cell Carcinoma, Somatostatinoma, WDHA Syndrome
