NO INTERVENTIONOctreotide LAR treatment
EXPERIMENTALThe patients with unresectable or metastatic GEP or esophageal NEC who got CR/PR/SD after chemotherapy with IP or EP regimen qualified with the inclusion criteria are enrolled. All the patients enrolled in our study will be randomly assigned to receive octreotide LAR (group A) as maintenance treatment or follow up (group B) to disease progression.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Histologic diagnosis of high grade (poorly differentiated) gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma.
- High grade neuroendocrine carcinoma of esophageal or unknown primary site (if a pulmonary primary has been excluded)
- Metastatic or unresectable disease
- Measurable disease
- Accepted chemotherapy with EP or IP regimen for no less than three months
- Effectiveness with CR/PR/SD
- Informed consent
- Performance status of 0 or 1
- Adequate bone marrow function (defined as absolute neutrophil count \[ANC\] \>= 1500, platelet count \[PLT\] \>= 75,000 and a hemoglobin \[Hgb\] \>= 9).
- Adequate hepatic function with a bilirubin of \<= 2.0 mg/dl, and aspartate aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT) \<= 2.5 times the upper limits of normal, unless caused by liver metastasis. If caused by metastasis, then should be SGPT and SGOT \<= 5 times the upper limits of normal.
- Adequate renal function defined as serum creatinine \<= 1.5 mg/dl.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients who are on EP or IP chemotherapy for less than three months .
- Effectiveness with PD.
- Patients with brain metastases are not eligible.
- Patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart disease are not eligible as well as those patients with history of angina, myocardial infarction, or congestive heart failure within six months.
- Pregnant or lactating women. All women of child bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to entry into the study. All patients of child bearing potential must be advised of the importance of avoiding pregnancy and using appropriate methods of contraception while participating in this investigational trial.
- Patients with serious complicated infections, or nonmalignant medical illnesses that are uncontrolled or whose control may be jeopardized by the complications of this therapy.
- Patients with psychiatric disorders rendering them incapable of complying with the requirements of the protocol.
- Patients with serum calcium \> 12 mg/dl or symptomatic hypercalcemia under treatment.
- Patients with osseous metastasis as only site of disease.
- Patients with any concurrent active malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancers or carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix. Patients with previous malignancies but without evidence of disease for \> 5 years will be allowed to enter the trial.
- Patients with known Gilbert's syndrome are ineligible.
