Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To assess the response rate in patients with locally unresectable neuroendocrine tumors treated with temodar and thalidomide.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • To evaluate overall response and progression free survival of this patient population

  • to evaluate the safety of temodar and thalidomide.
