Immune checkpoint inhibitors have been incorporated as the standard of care for some high-grade neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN), but their efficacy in digestive NEN is still unclear. Here the authors report the results of a phase II trial of nivolumab (anti-PD1) in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy (carboplatin-etoposide) as first-line treatment in patients with unresectable or metastatic advanced grade 3 NENs of gastro-enteropancreatic or unknown origin.
