About Dr. Halperin
Dr. Halperin is a medical oncologist and clinical investigator primarily focused on the development of novel treatments for patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). He serves as chair of the NET Multidisciplinary Conference (Tumor Board) at MD Anderson, and represents the institution on the the Neuroendocrine and Adrenal Tumor guideline committee of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN).
As a clinical investigator, he leads clinical trials of new drugs for patients with NETs at MD Anderson, and works together with a team of laboratory and population scientists to understand more fully the molecular underpinnings and clinical manifestations of neuroendocrine tumors. He serves on the Board of Scientific Advisors of the NET Research Foundation and the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Healing NET Foundation, as well as chairing the North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Society Scientific and Research Committee in 2021.
Ongoing clinical trials include:1. Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Lutathera in Patients With Grade 2 and Grade 3 Advanced GEP-NET (NETTER-2) ( NCT03972488).
2. A Trial to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Octreotide Subcutaneous Depot in Patients With GEP-NET (SORENTO) ( NCT05050942).
3. Lutetium 177Lu-Edotreotide Versus Best Standard of Care in Well-differentiated Aggressive Grade-2 and Grade-3 GastroEnteroPancreatic NeuroEndocrine Tumors (GEP-NETs) - (COMPOSE) ( NCT04919226 )
