Brief Summary: Primary Objective

1 Assess the clinical activity defined by response rate of irinotecan and cisplatin in untreated patients with metastatic or unresectable high grade neuroendocrine carcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract

Secondary Objective

1 To assess the safety profile of irinotecan and cisplatin in untreated patients with metastatic or unresectable high grade neuroendocrine carcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract
Detailed Description: Both irinotecan and carboplatin are drugs commonly used to treat cancer

Before treatment starts patients will have blood tests around 4 teaspoons and urine tests Patients will have a chest X-ray an electrocardiogram ECG-a test to measure the electrical activity of the heart and a computed tomography CT scan Women who are able to have children must have a negative blood pregnancy test

During the study patients will receive irinotecan and cisplatin by vein over 4 hours once a week for 2 weeks This will be followed by 7 days in which no treatment will be given This 3 week period is called a cycle Cycles will be repeated unless the tumor continues to grow

During treatment patients will have follow-up visits every 3 weeks to check for any side effects and the status of the disease The follow-up visits may be with either your local doctor or with the study doctor However visits with the study doctor should be scheduled at least every 9 weeks If the disease gets worse or you experience any intolerable side effects you will be taken off the study

This is an investigational study Both irinotecan and cisplatin are FDA approved and commercially available Around 36 patients will participate in the study All patients will be enrolled at MD Anderson
