Antiproliferative effects of lanreotide autogel in patients with progressive, well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumours: a Spanish, multicentre, open-label, single arm phase II study.

ABSTRACT: Somatostatin analogues (SSAs) are indicated to relieve carcinoid syndrome but seem to have antiproliferative effects on neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). This is the first prospective study investigating tumour stabilisation with the long-acting SSA lanreotide Autogel in patients with progressive NETs.This was a multicentre, open-label, phase II trial conducted in 17 Spanish specialist centres. Patients with well-differentiated NETs and radiologically confirmed progression within the previous 6 months received lanreotide Autogel, 120 mg every 28 days over ?92 weeks. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints were response rate, tumour biomarkers, symptom control, quality of life (QoL), and safety. Radiographic imaging was assessed by a blinded central radiologist.Of 30 patients included in the efficacy and safety analyses, 40% had midgut tumours and 27% pancreatic tumours; 63% of tumours were functioning. Median PFS time was 12.9 (95% CI: 7.9, 16.5) months, and most patients achieved disease stabilisation (89%) or partial response (4%). No deterioration in QoL was observed. Nineteen patients (63%) experienced treatment-related adverse events, most frequently diarrhoea and asthenia; only one treatment-related adverse event (aerophagia) was severe.Lanreotide Autogel provided effective tumour stabilisation and PFS >12 months in patients with progressive NETs ineligible for surgery or chemotherapy, with a safety profile consistent with the pharmacology of the class.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT00326469; EU Clinical Trial Register EudraCT no 2004-002871-18.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Although the previous lanreotide autogel/depot syringe had been well received, feedback indicated that improvements could be made to make it more user-friendly. Additionally, the view that patients should have greater involvement in the research and development process is echoed by the International Neuroendocrine Cancer Alliance. A series of studies aimed to develop and validate a new syringe that works better for patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals (HCPs) by involving these groups at key stages in the development and testing process. METHODS:The multicentre, international, human factor studies, consisted of four formative studies and one validation study. The formative studies collected patient, caregiver and HCP feedback on the lanreotide autogel/depot syringe on the market at the time, and on newly designed prototypes. The validation study was conducted to evaluate the final syringe to confirm that it can be used effectively and safely in the intended environment, by the intended user, for the intended purpose. RESULTS:Overall, 213 individuals participated in the studies; 145 contributed to the formative studies and 68 to the validation study. The validated new-generation syringe included several important updates compared with the lanreotide autogel/depot syringe currently on the market, including the flanges, which are now larger and have a better grip; the overcap, which is white, ridged, opaque and bigger; the plunger supports and the thermoformed tray. No participant hurt themselves or others during the validation study (although several misuses were reported), and all participants succeeded in delivering a complete dose and activating the safety system. CONCLUSION:With collaboration, a new syringe was developed to meet the needs of patients, caregivers and HCPs, whilst ensuring lanreotide was delivered effectively and safely. These studies highlight the importance of involving patients, caregivers and HCPs in clinical evaluation studies to develop medical products that address their concerns and meet their needs.

Project description:PurposePRELUDE aimed to assess use and effectiveness/safety of lanreotide autogel/depot (LAN) combined with 177Lu-DOTATOC or 177Lu-DOTATATE (LAN-peptide receptor radionuclide therapy [PRRT]) in patients with progressive neuroendocrine tumours (NETs).MethodsInternational, non-interventional, retrospective, non-comparative analysis of medical records from patients with progressive metastatic or locally advanced grade 1 or 2 gastroenteropancreatic (GEP)- or lung-NETs. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) at end of last LAN-PRRT cycle. Secondary endpoints included PFS at last available follow-up, best overall response, objective response rate (ORR), presence and severity of diarrhoea and flushing, and safety. Post-hoc analyses were conducted to determine pre-treatment tumour growth rate (TGR) cutoffs that best predicted the ORR during treatment.ResultsForty patients were enrolled (GEP-NETs, n = 39; lung-NETs, n = 1). PFS rates were 91.7% at end of last LAN-PRRT cycle and 95.0% at last available follow-up. In the full analysis set, best overall response among patients with GEP-NETs (n = 23) was stable disease (n = 14, 60.9%), partial response (n = 8, 34.8%) and progressive disease (n = 1, 4.3%). The ORR was 27.3% at end of last LAN-PRRT cycle and 36.8% at last available follow-up. Optimal baseline TGR cutoffs for predicting ORR at these time points were 1.18% and 0.33%, respectively. At baseline, 81.0% of patients had diarrhoea or flushing; both remained stable or improved in most cases. No increased adverse drug reactions were reported.ConclusionDespite the major recruitment shortfall for the PRELUDE study, effectiveness data were encouraging in this selected population, highlighting the potential usefulness and feasibility of LAN combined with and after PRRT in patients with GEP-NETs. The study also identified challenges associated with evaluating clinical practice in a rare-disease setting and highlighted the need for standardisation of PRRT procedures.Trial registrationTrial number: NCT02788578; URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02788578.

Project description:BackgroundNeuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a heterogeneous group of tumors, with >50% of cases involving the gastrointestinal system or pancreas. Somatostatin analogs (SSAs) are used for treating NET-related secretory syndromes and, more recently, for their antiproliferative effects. We conducted a systematic review of published literature on the antiproliferative efficacy and safety of the SSA lanreotide Autogel in the management of NETs to gain a fuller understanding of the evidence and identify future areas of research.MethodsSearches were conducted in PubMed up to March 16, 2016, and in the proceedings of four congresses from 2013 to 2016.ResultsScreening of 1,132 publications identified in the searches found 40 relevant publications, including 27 full-length publications and 13 congress abstracts. Twenty-four of these publications reported antiproliferative efficacy data for lanreotide Autogel. The CLARINET study showed that 120 mg lanreotide Autogel every 4 weeks improves progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with gastroenteropancreatic (GEP)-NETs, with grade 1 or grade 2 (Ki-67 <10%) disease, providing class I evidence of its antiproliferative effects. The CLARINET open-label extension study reported a median PFS of 32.8 months with lanreotide Autogel. Other smaller studies generally support CLARINET.ConclusionCurrent clinical evidence shows that lanreotide Autogel has good antiproliferative activity with favorable safety and tolerability in patients with GEP-NETs, suggesting it should be considered as an early first-line treatment in this population. Further studies are needed to assess the potential benefits of higher doses and the use of lanreotide Autogel in combination therapy and as maintenance therapy in the absence of disease progression following other therapies. The Oncologist 2017;22:272-285 IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: This review presents the current clinical evidence for the antiproliferative activity of lanreotide Autogel in patients with midgut or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and shows its effectiveness, safety, and tolerability in these patient populations. By systematically presenting all the clinical evidence, the review adds to existing publications by discussing results in a broad range of settings. The review also indicates future directions for investigation of the use of lanreotide Autogel in NETs originating in other locations, in combination therapy, or as maintenance therapy in progressive disease.
