| Popis: | BackgroundWe assessed treatment patterns and outcomes of patients with advanced gastrointestinal (GI) neuroendocrine tumors (NET) at four large tertiary referral centers in the U.S.Patients and methodsWe performed a retrospective chart review of patients aged ≥18 years at advanced GI NET diagnosis, treated between July 2011 and December 2014. Index date was the histologically confirmed diagnosis date of locally advanced/metastatic GI NET. Data included baseline characteristics, treatment patterns, progression, death, and GI NET-related health care resource utilization from index date through last contact or death. Time-to-event analyses, including treatment discontinuation, progression, and overall survival (OS), were performed using Kaplan-Meier analysis.ResultsWe identified 273 patients; 156 (57%) had primary ileum NET, and 174 (64%) had functional NET. First-line treatments included somatostatin analog (SSA) alone (89%) or in combination (2%), liver-directed therapy (LDT; 8%), and cytotoxic chemotherapy or interferon (2%). One hundred fifty-five patients continued with second-line therapy, including SSA alone (17%) or in combination (75%, with 3% combined with peptide receptor radionuclide therapy), LDT (4%), and other treatments (3%). Median time (months) to first-line discontinuation was 154.0 for SSAs and 3.8 for cytotoxic chemotherapy. Overall median time to investigator-assessed progression following treatment initiation was 30.3 months. Median OS (months) following first-line initiation was 151.8 for all patients and 178.9 for first-line SSA.ConclusionOur study illustrates the common use of SSAs in both first-line and subsequent treatment of patients with GI NETs, as well as the relatively long survival durations and multiple additional treatments received by patients with this condition. Treatment pattern assessment at later times, following approval of newer treatments, is warranted.Implications for practiceThis study, assessing treatment patterns over a period of up to 30 years, showed that SSAs, LDT, cytotoxic chemotherapy, and interferon are common treatments for advanced GI NETs. SSAs alone or in combination with other treatments were the most frequent therapy in first and subsequent lines. Patients in this study remained on SSAs long-term, with median treatment duration of 12.8 years in first line. Treatment patterns should be assessed beyond this study's time period, given recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration approvals for additional treatments for GI NET, which will likely be incorporated in the continuum of care of patients. |
