Lanreotide as maintenance therapy after first-line treatment in patients with non-resectable duodeno-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours: An international double-blind, placebo-controlled randomised phase II trial – Prodige 31 REMINET: An FFCD study
International audienceBackground: Following European guidelines, patients with aggressive metastatic or locally advanced, non-resectable, duodeno-pancreatic (DP) neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) should receive systemic combination chemotherapy until progression. Aggressive disease is defined as progressive and/or symptomatic metastases with or without significant hepatic invasion (>30–50%), and/or bone metastases. Methods: This academic randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II study aims to evaluate lanreotide autogel 120 mg (LAN) as maintenance treatment after at least 2 months of first-line treatment (L1) in aggressive G1-G2 DP-NET. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive LAN or placebo (PBO), every 28 days, until progression or toxicity. The primary end-point was progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months. Results: Among the 118 planned patients, 53 were included. Of these, 81.1% had a G2 tumour, and 90.6% had metastatic disease. L1 therapy consisted of chemotherapy (96.8%). Median duration of L1 was 4.6 months (range: 2.0–7.7). At the time of randomisation, 81.1% of patients had stable disease. Median follow-up was 27.0 months (95% CI: 19.5; 31.2). PFS at 6 months was 73.1% (90% CI: 55.3; 86.6) in LAN versus 54.2% (90% CI: 35.8; 71.8) in PBO. Median PFS was 19.4 months (95% CI: 7.6; 32.6) and 7.6 months (95% CI: 3.0; 9.0), respectively. Median overall survival was 41.9 months in PBO and was not reached in LAN. The toxicity profile was mainly grade 1–2 expected toxicities. Conclusions: The encouraging results of lanreotide autogel 120 mg as a maintenance treatment after L1 in aggressive G1/2 DP-NET should be confirmed.

Poorly differentiated gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinomas: Are they really heterogeneous? Insights from the FFCD-GTE national cohort
IF 6.029International audienceBackgroundDiagnosis and management of poorly differentiated gastro-entero-pancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) remain challenging. Recent studies suggest prognostic heterogeneity. We designed within the French Group of Endocrine Tumours a prospective cohort to gain insight in the prognostic stratification and treatment of GEP-NEC.Patients and methodsAll patients with a diagnosis of GEP-NEC between 1st January 2010 and 31st December 2013 could be included in this national cohort. Adenoneuroendocrine tumours were excluded.Results253 patients from 49 centres were included. Median age was 66 years. Main primary locations were pancreas (21%), colorectal (27%), oesophagus-stomach (18%); primary location was unknown in 20%. Tumours were metastatic at diagnosis in 78% of cases. Performance status (PS) at diagnosis was 0–1 in 79% of patients. Among the 147 (58%) cases reviewed by an expert pathological network, 39% were classified as small cell NEC and 61% as large cell NEC. Median Ki67 index was 75% (range, 20–100). Median overall survival was 15.6 (13.6–17.0) months. Significant adverse prognostic factors in univariate analysis were PS > 1 (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.5), metastatic disease (HR = 1.6), NSE > 2 upper limit of normal [ULN]; HR = 3.2), CgA > 2 ULN (HR = 1.7) and lactate dehydrogenase >2 ULN (HR = 2.1). After first-line palliative chemotherapy (CT1) with platinum-etoposide (n = 152), objective response, progression-free survival and overall survival were 50%, 6.2 and 11.6 months; they were 24%, 2.9 and 5.9, respectively, after post-CT1 FOLFIRI regimen (n = 72).ConclusionsWe report a large prospective series of GEP-NEC which show the predominance of large cell type and advanced stage at diagnosis. Prognosis was found more homogeneous than previously reported, mainly impacted by PS and tumour burden
A new internet tool to report peritoneal malignancy extent. PeRitOneal MalIgnancy Stage Evaluation (PROMISE) application
International audienceBased on the importance of assessing the true extent of peritoneal disease, PeRitOneal MalIgnancy Stage Evaluation (PROMISE) internet application (www.e-promise.org) has been developed to facilitate tabulation and automatically calculate surgically validated peritoneal cancer index (PCI), and other surgically validated scores as Gilly score, simplified peritoneal cancer index (SPCI), Fagotti and Fagotti-modified scores. This application offers computer-assistance to produce simple, quick but precise and standardized pre, intra and postoperative reports of the extent of peritoneal metastases and may help specialized and non-specialized institutions in their current practice but also facilitate research and multicentre studies on peritoneal surface malignancies
