๐ Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria:
1. 18 years and older patients.
2. Signed informed consent prior to initiation of any study-specific procedures or treatment, as confirmation of the patient's awareness and willingness to comply with the study requirements.
3. Documented histological or cytological diagnosis of well differentiated Lung and GEP-NENs (NET G1, NET G2, NET G3 in WHO 2017 classification) progressing after a first line of therapy with SSAs, sunitinib, everolimus, chemotherapy and/or PRRT or documented histological or cytological diagnosis of Large cells neuroendocrine carcinoma patients with Ki67\< 55% progressed after platinum-based first line chemotherapy.
4. Subjects must have evidence of progressed disease, radiologically documented in the 12 months previous study entry.
