This systematic review updates the MASCC/ESMO recommendations for high-emetic-risk chemotherapy (HEC) published in 2016-2017. HEC still includes cisplatin, carmustine, dacarbazine, mechlorethamine, streptozocin, and cyclophosphamide in doses of > 1500 mg/m2 and the combination of cyclophosphamide and an anthracycline (AC) in women with breast cancer. A systematic review report following the PRISMA guidelines of the literature from January 1, 2015, until February 1, 2023, was performed. PubMed (Ovid), Scopus (Google), and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were searched. The literature search was limited to randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. Forty-six new references were determined to be relevant. The main topics identified were (1) steroid-sparing regimens, (2) olanzapine-containing regimens, and (3) other issues such as comparisons of antiemetics of the same drug class, intravenous NK1 receptor antagonists, and potentially new antiemetics. Five updated recommendations are presented. There is no need to prescribe steroids (dexamethasone) beyond day 1 after AC HEC, whereas a 4-day regimen is recommended in non-AC HEC. Olanzapine is now recommended as a fixed part of a four-drug prophylactic antiemetic regimen in both non-AC and AC HEC. No major differences between 5-HT3 receptor antagonists or between NK1 receptor antagonists were identified. No new antiemetic agents qualified for inclusion in the updated recommendations.
Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (Pan-NENs) may exhibit a heterogeneous clinical course, ranging from indolent to progressive/metastatic behavior. In the latter scenario, streptozocin (STZ) is considered the cornerstone of systemic treatment; however, response to STZ-based chemotherapy may vary among individuals. In this narrative review, we aimed to identify the predictive factors of response to STZ in advanced Pan-NENs. We performed an extensive search in international online databases for published studies and ongoing clinical trials evaluating STZ in Pan-NENs. We found 11 pertinent studies evaluating 17 patient-, tumor-, or treatment-related factors. Age, CgA blood levels, tumor grade, Ki-67% index, anatomical location of the primary tumor, tumor stage, site of metastasis origin, liver tumor burden, extrahepatic spread, functional status, O6-methylguanine-methyltransferase (MGMT) status, line of therapy, and response to previous treatments were all statistically associated with radiological response and/or survival. The identified predictors may help clinicians make appropriate treatment decisions, in this way improving clinical outcomes in patients with advanced Pan-NENs.
Background: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET) is a rare and complex disease that requires careful management and treatment. Currently, a range of treatments, including surgery, somatostatin analogs (SSA), peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), targeted drugs, cytotoxic chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, exist for pNETs. However, determining the optimal treatment strategies remains challenging. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of non-surgical therapies, such as somatostatin analogs (SSA), peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), targeted drugs, cytotoxic chemotherapy, and immunotherapy in treating pNETs. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases for relevant studies published from inception until August 2025. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs), non-randomized clinical trials, and prospective studies were included in this meta-analysis if they evaluated the efficacy and safety of any treatment of interest in patients with pNETs. Results: Thirty-three studies involving 2374 pNET patients were analyzed. Targeted therapies showed modest objective response rates (ORRs) but high disease control rates (DCRs): everolimus (ORR 7%, 95% CI: 3-10%; DCR 81%, 95% CI: 75-87%), sunitinib (ORR 12%, 95% CI: 5-19%; DCR 79%, 95% CI: 70-88%), surufatinib (ORR 19%, 95% CI: 12-27%; DCR 81%, 95% CI: 73-89%). Cytotoxic chemotherapy demonstrated higher ORRs: dacarbazine-based (32%, 95% CI: 21-43%), streptozocin-based (40%, 95% CI: 25-54%), temozolomide-based (42%, 95% CI: 29-55%). PRRT showed varying efficacy: 177Lu-DOTATATE (ORR 36%, 95% CI: 27-44%; DCR 84%, 95% CI: 76-92%), 90Y-DOTATOC (ORR 27%, 95% CI: 18-36%; DCR 73%, 95% CI: 63-83%). SSAs had low ORRs but high DCRs: lanreotide (ORR 0%, DCR 67%, 95% CI: 57-77%), octreotide (ORR 23%, 95% CI: 15-31%; DCR 75%, 95% CI: 66-84%). Immunotherapy with pembrolizumab showed limited efficacy (ORR 7%, 95% CI: 0-14%). Treatment-related adverse events were common across t
Gastro-enteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs) represent a rare and highly heterogeneous entity with increasing incidence. Based on the results obtained from several trials performed in the last decade, various therapeutic options have been established for the treatment of patients with GEP-NETs. The options include somatostatin analogues, targeted therapies (sunitinib and everolimus), chemotherapy (with temozolomide or streptozocin-based regimens), and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. The treatment choice is influenced by various clinico-pathological factors including tumour grade and morphology, the primary mass location, hormone secretion, the volume of the disease and the rate of tumour growth, as well as patient comorbidities and performance status. In this review, the efficacy and safety of treatment options for patients with GEP-NETs is discussed and the evidence to inform the best sequence of available therapies to control tumour growth, prolong patient survival, and to lower potential toxicity, while maintaining patient quality of life is explored.
This phase I/II study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of streptozocin (STZ) in Japanese patients with unresectable or metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Twenty-two patients received up to 4 cycles of intravenous STZ at either 500 mg/m2 once daily for 5 consecutive days every 6 weeks (daily regimen) or at 1000-1500 mg/m2 once weekly for 6 weeks (weekly regimen). Tumor response was evaluated using the modified RECIST criteria ver. 1.1, and adverse events were assessed by grade according to the National Cancer Institute CTCAE (ver. 4.0). Fourteen (63.6%) patients completed the study protocol. No patients had complete response; partial response in 2 (9.1%), stable disease in 17 (77.3%), non-complete response/non-progressive disease in 2 (9.1%) and only 1 (4.5%) had non-evaluable disease. Excluding the latter, the response rate in the daily and weekly regimens was 6.7% (1/15) and 16.7% (1/6), respectively, with an overall response rate of 9.5% (2/21). However, the best overall response in each patient showed that the disease control rate was 100%.Adverse events occurred in all 22 patients, including 17 grade 3 adverse events in 11 patients; however, no grade 4 or 5 adverse events were reported. Prophylactic hydration and antiemetic treatment reduced the severity and incidence of nephrotoxicity, nausea and vomiting. Plasma STZ concentrations decreased rapidly after termination of infusion, with a half-life of 32-40 min. Neither repeated administration nor dose increases affected pharmacokinetic parameters. STZ may be a useful option for Japanese patients with unresectable or metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
