PG - 755-766 LID - 10.1210/clinem/dgac657 [doi] AB - CONTEXT: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) can be used to treat locally unresectable or distantly metastatic pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas (PPGLs), such as sunitinib, according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines in 2022. However, the precise effect of different TKIs in metastatic PPGLs is still unclear. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this meta-analysis is to assess the efficacy and safety of TKIs in metastatic PPGLs. METHODS: The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Clinical Trial, and Embase databases were searched by synonyms of 48 TKIs and metastatic PPGLs from inception up to August 2022. Outcomes were tumor response or survival data and the incidence of adverse events (AEs) after treatment. The MIONRS scale and the JBI's tools for case series were used for interventional and observational studies to assess risk of bias, respectively. The combined effects with fixed- or random-effect models, the combined median with the weighted median of medians method and their 95% CIs were reported. RESULTS: A total of 7 studies with 160 patients were included. Tumor responses in metastatic PPGLs in 5 studies with available data showed the pooled proportion of partial response (PR), stable disease, and disease control rate (DCR) of, respectively, 0.320 (95% CI 0.155-0.486), 0.520 (95% CI 0.409-0.630), and 0.856 (95% CI 0.734-0.979). The combined median progressive-free survival in 6 studies was 8.9 months (95% CI 4.1-13.5) and the proportion of those who discontinued due to AEs in 5 studies was 0.143 (95% CI 0.077-0.209). CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis suggests that patients with metastatic PPGLs can benefit from TKI therapy with PR and DCR up to more than 30% and 80%. However, because of restricted studies, larger clinical trials should be performed in the future. CI - (c) The Author(s) 2022. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Endocrine Society.
