Early and precise delineation of therapeutic responses are key issues in neuroendocrine neoplasm/tumor management. Imaging is currently used but exhibits limitations in sensitivity and specificity. The utility of biomarkers is unclear. objective, setting, and design: This prospective cohort study (11 mo) sought to determine whether measurements of circulating neuroendocrine tumor transcripts (NETest) predict responses to somatostatin analogs (SSAs).
The test set consisted of 35 SSA-treated gastroenteropancreatic-NETs (RECISTevaluated). The prospective set consisted of 28 SSA-treated Grade 1-Grade 2 GEP-NETs.
INTERVENTION(S): Whole blood for transcript analysis (NETest) and plasma for Chromogranin A (CgA) (baseline), were collected every 4 weeks (prior to SSA injection). Morphologic (multidetector computed tomography/MRI) and functional imaging ((99m)Tc-[HYNIC, Tyr(3)]-Octreotide) was undertaken at entry and 6-month intervals until progression (RECIST 1.0).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Treatment response.
Test set: NETest (≥80%; scale, 0-100%) differentiated stable (SD) and progressive (PD) disease (P < .0001). Prospective set: 28 patients (26/28 SD) undergoing standard SSA. Grading: 12 G1, 16 G2. SSA Response: progression-free survival: 315 days: 14 (50%) SD, 14 (50%) PD. NETest: Twenty had elevated (≥80%) values; 14 developed PD; six, SD. CgA: Twelve of 28 exhibited elevated baseline values and/or subsequent >25% increase; eight developed PD; four, SD. NETest (P = .002) and grade (P = .054) were the only factors associated with treatment response. Multiple regression analysis established that the NETest could predict disease progression (P = .0002). NETest changes occurred significantly earlier (146 d prior to progression vs 56 d CgA; P < .0001; χ(2) = 19) and in more patients (100 vs 57%; P < .02).
NETest values (80-100%) were more accurate and occurred at a significantly earlier time point than CgA and predicted SSA treatment response.
神经内分泌肿瘤的治疗反应的早期精确界定是其管理中的关键问题。目前使用影像学检查,但在敏感性和特异性方面存在局限性。生物标志物的效用尚不清楚。目的、研究地点和设计:这项前瞻性队列研究(为期11个月)旨在确定循环神经内分泌肿瘤转录本检测(NETest)是否能预测对生长抑素类似物(SSA)的反应。
测试组包括35例接受SSA治疗的胃肠胰神经内分泌肿瘤(根据实体瘤疗效评价标准评估)。前瞻性组包括28例接受SSA治疗的1级至2级胃肠胰神经内分泌肿瘤。
每4周(在注射SSA前)采集用于转录本分析的全血(NETest)和用于嗜铬粒蛋白A(CgA)检测的血浆(基线)。在入组时以及每隔6个月进行一次形态学检查(多排螺旋计算机断层扫描/磁共振成像)和功能成像((99m)Tc-[HYNIC,Tyr(3)]-奥曲肽),直至疾病进展(实体瘤疗效评价标准1.0)。
治疗反应。
测试组:NETest(≥80%;范围为0-100%)可区分稳定疾病(SD)和疾病进展(PD)(P <.0001)。前瞻性组:28例患者(26/28为SD)接受标准SSA治疗。分级:12例G1级,16例G2级。SSA反应:无进展生存期:315天:14例(50%)为SD,14例(50%)为PD。NETest:20例值升高(≥80%);14例疾病进展;6例为SD。CgA:28例中有12例基线值升高和/或随后升高>25%;8例疾病进展;4例为SD。NETest(P =.002)和分级(P =.054)是与治疗反应相关唯一因素。多元回归分析表明,NETest可预测疾病进展(P =.0002)。NETest变化出现得明显更早(进展前146天对比CgA为56天;P <.0001;χ² = 19),且涉及更多患者(10%对比57%;P <.02)。
NETest值(80%-100%)比CgA更准确,且出现时间点明显更早,可预测SSA治疗反应。
