Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histological diagnosis of well differentiated NET (typical and atypical lung
carcinoids, NET G1, NET G2 of all gastroenteropancreatic sites and pancreatic NET G3
according to WHO 2017 classification) 20 advanced / metastatic, inoperable, with no
possibility of curative treatment
- Immunohistochemical expression ≥ 1 percent for estrogen and / or progesterone receptor
- Disease with radiological progression (at least 10 percent tumor volume growth) in the
last 12 months before day 1 cycle 1.
- No possibility of established treatments due to lack of access, risk of toxicities or
without clinical indication. Patients who meet criteria for watchful waiting (low-dose
disease and non-functioning NET) may be included.
- Measurable disease
- ECOG performance scale 0 to 2.
- Adequate organic function as defined by the following criteria:
- serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤
2.5 times the upper limit of local laboratory normality (ULN-LL); (up to 5xULN
for participants with liver metastases)
- Total serum bilirubin ≤ 2.0 x ULN-LL;
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500 / mm^3;
- Platelet count ≥ 80,000 / mm^3;
- Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g / dL;
- Estimated creatinine clearance by the MDRD equation ≥ 30ml / min
- Albumin ≥ 3.5 g / dL;
- INR ≤ 1.5
- Term of free and informed consent signed by the patient or legal representative
Exclusion Criteria:
- Participants already on tamoxifen, but other prior treatment are allowed
- Participants with aggressive disease requiring cytotoxic therapy or locoregional
therapies (eg hepatic embolization)
- A history of serious clinical or psychiatric illness that, by clinical judgment, may
involve participation risk in this study
- Participants participating in other protocols with experimental drugs
- Participants with oral food difficulties
- Participants who underwent major recent surgery less than 4 weeks previously
- Participants receiving chemotherapy or other oncologic therapy for less than 3 weeks
- Participants who use oral anticoagulation
- Previous history of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism in the last 12 months
- Pregnant or lactating participants
- Participants with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding with no defined etiology
- Participants with breast cancer who need to use tamoxifen for this neoplasm
- Another synchronous neoplasm that requires systemic treatment

Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Disease control rate |
Time Frame: | At 24 weeks after start of tamoxifen (at end of cycle 6 - each cycle is 28 days) |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Defined by absence of radiological progression in conventional imaging examinations by RECIST 1.1. Isolated increase of biomarker (chromogranin A) or specific hormone will not be considered progression. |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Progression-free survival |
Time Frame: | Through study completion, an average of 5 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Defined by time from tamoxifen day 1 cycle 1 to death from any cause or radiological progression by RECIST 1.1, whichever occurs first. Participants alive and without progression at the time of study analysis will be censored for time-to-event analysis. |
Measure: | Rate of Biochemical response |
Time Frame: | Through study completion, an average of 5 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Defined by at least 30 percent drop in the marker (chromogranin and / or specific hormone) at any time of treatment in relation to pre-treatment value |
Measure: | Radiological response rate |
Time Frame: | Through study completion, an average of 5 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Assessed by RECIST criteria 1.1 |
Measure: | Disease control rate |
Time Frame: | Through study completion, an average of 5 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Defined by absence of radiological progression by RECIST 1.1 criteria, according to the intensity of expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) of HR and also according to primary site (pancreas, gastrointestinal or lung) |
Measure: | Incidence of Treatment-related Adverse Events |
Time Frame: | Through study completion, an average of 5 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Frequency of adverse events of grades 2 or more by Common Adverse Event Toxicity Criteria (CTCAE) version 5.0 |
