Efficacy of octreotide long-acting repeatable in neuroendocrine tumors : RADIANT-2 placebo arm post hoc analysis

• Somatostatin analogues (SSA) have demonstrated antiproliferative activity in addition to efficacy for carcinoid symptom control in functional neuroendocrine tumors (NET). Apost hoc analysis of the placebo arm of the RAD001 In Advanced Neuroendocrine Tumors-2 (RADIANT-2) study was conducted to assess the efficacy of octreotide long-acting repeatable (LAR) on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Out of 213 patients randomized to placebo plus octreotide LAR in RADIANT-2, 196 patients with foregut, midgut, or hindgut NETwere considered for present analysis. Of these, 41 patients were SSA-treatment naive and 155 had received SSA therapy before study entry. For SSA-naive patients, median PFS by adjudicated central review was 13.6 (95% CI 8.2-22.7) months. For SSA-naive patients with midgut NET (nZ24), median PFS was 22.2 (95% CI 8.3-29.5) months. For patients who had received SSA previously, the median PFS was 11.1 (95% CI 8.4-14.3) months. Among the SSA-pretreated patients who had midgut NET (nZ119), the median PFS was 12.0 (95% CI 8.4-19.3) months. Median OS was 35.8 (95% CI 32.5-48.9) months for patients in the placebo plus octreotide LAR arm; 50.6 (36.4 -not reached) months for SSA-naive patients and 33.5 (95% CI 27.5-44.7) months for those who had received prior SSA. This post hoc analysis of the placebo arm of the large phase 3 RADIANT-2 study provides data on PFS and OS among patients with progressive NET treated with octreotide therapy.
