PG - 64-71 LID - 10.1089/pancan.2018.0013 [doi] AB - Objective: To examine patients with metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) who receive sequential treatment with somatostatin analogs. Materials and Methods: This retrospective chart review examined lanreotide depot/autogel tolerability and efficacy among GEP-NET patients who received lanreotide after octreotide long-acting release (LAR) at Tufts University Medical Center. Information obtained included background patient characteristics, dosing, adverse events (AEs), radiologic response, and biochemical markers. Results: Patients (n = 16; 43-81 years; mean age, 64.25 years; 11 female) with nonfunctional, low-grade GEP-NETs receiving octreotide LAR 30-60 mg were transitioned to lanreotide because of patient decision (n = 6), disease progression (n = 6), AEs (n = 2), poor tolerance (n = 1), and injection discomfort/pain (n = 1). Lanreotide doses started at 120 mg (n = 13), 90 mg (n = 1), or 60 mg (n = 2); 8 patients received concomitant therapies, mostly liver-directed (radiofrequency ablation/radioembolization). AEs associated with lanreotide experienced by >/=2 patients were fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, hypertension, pancreatic enzyme deficiency, and hyperglycemia. Radiologic treatment responses of the combination of lanreotide with other therapeutic modalities included complete response (n = 1), partial response (n = 5), and stable disease (n = 9). One patient had radiologic progression. Serum serotonin and chromogranin levels decreased, but urinary 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid levels appeared relatively unchanged. Conclusion: Among post-octreotide GEP-NET patients, including those with disease progression or poor octreotide tolerance, lanreotide alone or with concomitant therapies was well tolerated and associated with radiologic responses.
