A meta-analysis has systematically investigated the antineoplastic efficacy and safety of somatostatin analogs (SSAs) in advanced gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting the hazard ratio (HR) for disease progression (DP) were evaluated. Response rate and risk ratio (RR) for adverse events were also analyzed. A total of 289 patients (143 receiving SSAs vs. 146 placebo) were evaluated from two RCTs. A significant benefit from SSAs in terms of disease control was observed (HR 0.41, 95% CI: 0.29 to 0.58, P < 0.01; I20%), response rate being 58.0% vs. 32.2%, respectively.The occurrence of adverse events significantly differed from the placebo arm only in terms of biliary stones (RR 3.79, 95% CI: 1.28 to 11.17, P = 0.02; I20%). In conclusion, SSAs showed an antiproliferative effect in advanced GEP-NETs, with a good safety profile.
一项荟萃分析系统地研究了生长抑素类似物(SSAs)在晚期胃肠胰神经内分泌肿瘤(GEP-NETs)中的抗肿瘤疗效和安全性。对报告疾病进展(DP)风险比(HR)的随机对照试验(RCT)进行了评估。还分析了不良事件的缓解率和风险比(RR)。两项RCT共评估了289例患者(143例接受SSAs治疗,146例接受安慰剂治疗)。观察到SSAs在疾病控制方面有显著益处(HR 0.41,95%CI:0.29至0.58,P<0.01;I²0%),缓解率分别为58.0%和32.2%。不良事件的发生仅在胆结石方面与安慰剂组有显著差异(RR 3.79,95%CI:1.28至11.17,P = 0.02;I²0%)。总之,SSAs在晚期GEP-NETs中显示出抗增殖作用,且安全性良好。
