Survival in 324 patients with pancreatic endocrine tumours according to WHO classification The median overall survival was 99 months (95% confidence interval, 81-117). Five- and 10-year survival rates were 64% and 44%, respectively. In univariate analysis, TNM stage, radical surgery, WHO classification, nonfunctioning tumor, Ki67 > or = 2%, chromogranin A > or = 3 times the upper normal limit, BMI < 20 kg/m2, sporadic tumor, tumor size, and referral from our primary uptake area had a significant prognostic effect. In multivariate analysis, TNM stage, WHO classification, radical surgery, and Ki67 > or = 2% retained their significance. Having a nonfunctioning tumor was not an independent marker of poor prognosis and neither was heredity.

Results from this interim analysis demonstrate that octreotide LAR inhibits the progression of tumour growth in patients with malignant midgut NETs. The primary efficacy analysis shows there were 26 patients with tumour progressions or tumour-related deaths in the octreotide LAR group, compared with 40 events in the placebo group. Octreotide LAR more than doubled the time without tumour growth compared with placebo. The median TTP was 14.3 months with octreotide LAR and 6.0 months with placebo. The P value for this result was 0.000072, indicating a very high statistical significance. The hazard ratio for TTP with octreotide LAR versus placebo was 0.34, which means there is a 66% reduction in the risk of disease progression with octreotide LAR versus placebo. Median survival has not been reached at this time. Additional notes The median survival time in the octreotide LAR group has not yet been reached (>77.4 months). The median survival time in the placebo group was 73.7 months. Overall survival was included as a secondary endpoint. Overall survival was a secondary endpoint because in the case of octreotide LAR significantly extending TTP, the trial would be halted and patients on placebo would be informed of the superior result of octreotide LAR. Furthermore, treatment of patients after tumour progression was at the discretion of the individual study centre, which means that placebo recipients were allowed to crossover to octreotide LAR or receive another therapy once they had a documented tumour progression. Likewise, octreotide LAR recipients were allowed to receive additional or alternative treatment once they had experienced disease progression. After progressing, 33/43 placebo recipients (77%) received octreotide LAR, and 25/42 octreotide LAR recipients (60%) continued to receive octreotide LAR. Other post-study treatments in the placebo and octreotide LAR groups were hepatic chemoembolization (9 versus 4 patients), peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (6 versus 4 patients) and chemotherapy (3 versus 3 patients). The influence of these treatments on survival cannot be ruled out. TTP was the primary endpoint of this trial and an acceptable surrogate for overall survival.
The molecular basis of octreotide’s mechanism of action is conceptually straightforward - binding to somatostatin receptors and thereby shutting down hormone secretion from cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system. As demonstrated, effects of octreotide treatment can include cell cycle arrest, amplification of proapopotic effects, inhibition of angiogenesis and modulation of the immune system. In order to achieve these multiple effects the pathways activated following octreotide binding to somatostatin receptors are many and complex.
Helsinki jun 2008 This is what someone will call a pretty busy slide. However, it demonstrates the number of studies, the number of patients, the doses used, the study periods,, clinicla response in regard to symptoms of the carcinoid syndrome, biochemical response which in most cases represenst changes in U-5HIAA. In addition a number of studies has provided data on chnages in NET as determined by CT or US. To sumarise these 27 studies with a total of 679 patients. The average weekly doses used were 16 MU, most often 3-5 MU 3 times per week. Study period varies considerably from 2 til 170 with a mean of approximately 40 weeks. Symptomatic repsonse rate was 62% with a range of 30-100%, biochemical response slightly lower of 50%, range 9 to 100%. For imaging studies tumor regression was obser ved in only 10% range 0-25%, tumor stabilisation in 65% (40-95%) and progression in about a quarter (6-50%).
The main player n tumor biology is unknowm. There are several GF receptors and their ligands expressed in NET cells. As kn own from other tumors the expression… D2-like receptor signaling is mediated by the heterotrimeric G proteins Galphai and Galphao. These pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins regulate some effectors, such as adenylate cyclase, via their Galpha subunits, but regulate many more effectors such as ion channels, phospholipases, protein kinases, and receptor tyrosine kinases as a result of the receptor-induced liberation of Gbetagamma subunits. In addition to interactions between dopamine receptors and G proteins, other protein:protein interactions such as receptor oligomerization or receptor interactions with scaffolding and signal-switching proteins are critical for regulation of dopamine receptor signaling.
A phase III , randomised, double-blind study of Sutent ® vs. placebo investigated the safety and efficacy of Sutent ® in patients with well-differentiated malignant pancreatic NETs. Sutent ® 37.5 mg/day or placebo was administered by continuous daily dosing. This study was terminated early due to differences in efficacy between the groups, as recommended by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee. Between June 2007 and April 2009, a total of 171 patients were recruited; 86 and 85 patients were randomised to the Sutent ® and placebo groups, respectively. Median age was 56 years. 52% of participants were female. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival. Secondary endpoints included overall survival, objective response rate, time to response, duration of response, safety and patient-reported outcomes. Cohorts were balanced by region, such that there was a similar proportion of patients from Europe, Asia, and the Americas/Australia in each treatment group.

Median progression-free survival was more than doubled in patients receiving Sutent ® compared to those receiving placebo (HR=0.418, 95% CI 0.263–0.662 ; P =0.0001). The Kaplan-Meier estimate of median progression-free survival was 11.4 months (95% CI 7.4–19.8) in the group receiving Sutent ® , compared to 5.5 months (95% CI 3.6–7.4) in the placebo cohort.

The slide highlights the importance of IGF-1 signaling and the PI3-K/Akt/mTOR pathway in NET and the reason why mTOR inhibition is a rational approach to treating these tumors. mTOR also responds to changes in oxygen, energy levels, and nutrients through their effects on the activity of the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC1/2) In addition, stimulation of PI3-K by the ER, Abl kinase, or Ras/Raf signaling can activate mTOR References Van Gompel JJ, Chen H.

Helsinki jun 2008 The importance of mTOR in regulating normal cell growth, cell division and angiogenesis is highlighted by the number of proteins involved in its activation or inhibition mTOR is deregulated in cancer by increased upstream signaling, loss-of-function mutations in upstream inhibitors, and activating mutations in mTOR activators Increased mTOR activity results in the increased protein synthesis of more than 100 genes and proteins involved in cellular responses. Many of the proteins that are regulated by mTOR support the growth, metabolic requirements, and survival of cancer cells. Deregulation of the mTOR-linked pathways increase the risk of developing cancer or have been identified in many cancers (details on specific mutation rates in cancer are listed on page 11).
