Inclusion Criteria:
* Adults (males or females), aged 18 years or older with pathologically confirmed, advanced (unresectable or metastatic) neuroendocrine tumour from a gastroenteropancreatic or lung source. Both participants with functional NETs and those with nonfunctional NETs shall be eligible for this study.
* Histologically confirmed, WHO Grade 2-3, well-differentiated NETs of gastroenteropancreatic or lung origin.
* Has received 0,1 or 2 prior lines of systemic therapy (chemotherapy, PRRT, targeted therapies such as everolimus or sunitinib). Somatostatin analogues are not considered a line of therapy for the purposes of this criterion.
* Radiological documentation of disease progression within 24 weeks of study enrolment. Disease progression must be demonstrated on two scans less than one year apart.
* Participants previously treated with any systemic therapies are eligible to enroll if disease progression is documented during or after their last treatment.
* Measurable disease as assessed by CT scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvis which is suitable for accurate repeated measurements (according to RECIST v1.1).
* ECOG performance status 0-2.
* Adequate bone marrow function (ANC \> 1.5 x 109/L; Platelets \>100 x109/L; haemoglobin \> 90 g9/L).
* Adequate liver function defined by a total bilirubin level ≤1.5xULN and AST and ALT levels ≤2.5xULN for participants (or AST and ALT levels ≤ 5xULN for participants with documented metastatic disease to the liver).

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
