Clinical, Journal: Determination of neuron-specific enolase in patients with midgut-type tumour treated with somatostatin analogues. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 23, 2022 Mutations in HADH may be associated with abnormal neurodevelopmental outcomes despite diazoxide-responsiveness. In our study, we observed that NSE concentration values were significantly higher among patients with NET midgut type tumour with histological grade G2 and in patients with 25% liver involvement and progression of the disease process.

Pasireotide, a second-generation SRL, shows higher efficacy with respect to both biochemical control and tumor shrinkage but has a worse safety profile...New formulations of available SRLs, such as oral, subcutaneous depot and nasal octreotide, may improve patients' adherence to treatment and quality of life since there will be more options available that better suit each patient. Finally, new drugs, such as paltusotine, somatropin, ONO-5788 and ONO-ST-468, may improve treatment adherence and present higher efficacy than currently available drugs.

(Pubmed Central) - Feb 15, 2022 On the contrary, tolvaptan is authorized worldwide and has received more attention in the last years, even if its clinical use is widely limited by aquaresis tolerability. The aim of this review is to investigate the advantages and drawbacks of somatostatin analogues and tolvaptan in the treatment of ADPKD.

(Pubmed Central) - Jan 18, 2022 We report the first aggravated case of TSH/GH co-secreting pituitary tumor after total thyroidectomy for concomitant multifocal PTMC. Deferring of thyroid surgery until the TSHoma is well controlled may be the optimal therapeutic strategy in patients with TSHoma and coexistent thyroid cancer; ablative thyroid surgery may result in catastrophic pituitary tumor growth.

Clinical, Journal: Disease and Treatment-Related Burden in Patients With Acromegaly Who Are Biochemically Controlled on Injectable Somatostatin Receptor Ligands. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 18, 2021 Patients included in this analysis were enrolled in a randomized phase 3 study, were biochemically-controlled (an IGF-1 < 1.3 × the upper limit of normal [ULN] and average GH < 2.5 ng/ml) and receiving SRL injections for ≥6 months with a stable dose of either long-acting octreotide or lanreotide monotherapy for ≥4 months...GI side effects and ISRs were also common. This study highlights the significant disease burden that still persists for patients with acromegaly that have achieved biochemical control with the use of injectable SRLs.

Journal, HEOR: Use of [Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE in the treatment of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours: Results of a UK cost-effectiveness modelling study. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 17, 2021 A three-state partitioned survival model was developed to perform a cost-utility analysis of [Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE versus standard of care (high dose Octreotide LAR), everolimus and sunitinib...In P-NETs, the ICER of [Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE compared to SoC was £22,146 (€23,101) or £28,038 (€29,251) dependent on matched population, and £21,827 (€22,766) and £15,768 (€16,445) compared to everolimus and sunitinib, respectively. At a willingness to pay threshold of £30,000, [Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE is likely to be a cost-effective treatment option for GI-NET and P-NET patients versus relevant treatment comparators (NHS perspective).

In high-risk patients who have failed conventional therapy, octreotide can be useful for the prevention of recurrent GIB.

Journal: The effect of somatostatin analogs and acromegaly on the upper gastrointestinal system. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 6, 2021 To be cost-effective as initial therapy, the price of lanreotide would need to be lowered by 48% to 95% or 27% to 86% to reach ICERs of $100,000/QALY or $150,00/QALY, respectively. The study showed that octreotide LAR treatment could be a risk factor in addition to known factors for the development of gastritis in patients with acromegaly.

Journal: Physical-chemical characterization of octreotide encapsulated in commercial glucose-star PLGA microspheres. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 16, 2021 Sandostatin LAR (SLAR) is an injectable long-acting release (LAR) microsphere formulation for octreotide based on a biodegradeable glucose star copolymer of d,l-lactic and glycolic acids (PLGA-glu), which is primarily used for the treatment of patients with acromegaly...Leuprolide is considered as a cationic peptide competitor for octreotide-PLGA interactions and its presence in the release medium resulted in more continuous octreotide release from SLAR, which was linearly correlated with the mass loss from the polymer (i.e., an indication of erosion-controlled release)...This salt is expected to catalyze octreotide acylation and extend peptide release beyond that is driven by erosion-control. The characterization studies of physicochemical properties of SLAR described here could be useful for development and regulatory evaluation of generic octreotide microspheres as well as new polymer formulations in which the polymer strongly interacts with encapsulated peptides.

Review, Journal: Opportunities to Improve Symptom Control with Somatostatin Congeners in GEP-NETs: A Review of Key Issues. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 14, 2021 Despite widespread use of octreotide LAR, several key challenges exist with the current depot-based treatment paradigm...The purpose of this review is to explore all these issues and to re-establish a rationale for the IR formulation, particularly with respect to novel use cases and its use during the COVID-19 pandemic. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: There is a need to re-evaluate the role of IR octreotide in combination with depot therapy to provide consistent bioavailability and better control of carcinoid syndrome symptoms.
