The purpose of our study was to analyse the usefulness of Choi criteria versus RECIST in patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) treated with sunitinib.
A multicentre, prospective study was conducted in 10 Spanish centres. Computed tomographies, at least every 6 months, were centrally evaluated until tumour progression.
One hundred and seven patients were included. Median progression-free survival (PFS) by RECIST and Choi were 11.42 (95% confidence interval [CI], 9.7-15.9) and 15.8 months (95% CI, 13.9-25.7). PFS by Choi (Kendall's τ = 0.72) exhibited greater correlation with overall survival (OS) than PFS by RECIST (Kendall's τ = 0.43). RECIST incorrectly estimated prognosis in 49.6%. Partial response rate increased from 12.8% to 47.4% with Choi criteria. Twenty-four percent of patients with progressive disease according to Choi had stable disease as per RECIST, overestimating treatment effect. Choi criteria predicted PFS/OS. Changes in attenuation occurred early and accounted for 21% of the variations in tumour volume. Attenuation and tumour growth rate (TGR) were associated with improved survival.
Choi criteria were able to capture sunitinib's activity in a clinically significant manner better than RECIST; their implementation in standard clinical practice shall be strongly considered in PanNET patients treated with this drug.
我们研究的目的是分析 Choi 标准与 RECIST 在接受舒尼替尼治疗的胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤(PanNETs)患者中的作用。
在 10 家西班牙中心进行了一项多中心前瞻性研究。通过中央评估计算机断层扫描,至少每 6 个月评估一次,直至肿瘤进展。
共纳入 107 例患者。根据 RECIST 和 Choi 标准,无进展生存期(PFS)分别为 11.42(95%置信区间[CI],9.7-15.9)和 15.8 个月(95%CI,13.9-25.7)。Choi(Kendall's τ=0.72)标准的 PFS 与总生存期(OS)的相关性大于 RECIST(Kendall's τ=0.43)。RECIST 标准错误地估计了 49.6%的患者预后。Choi 标准将部分缓解率从 12.8%提高到了 47.4%。根据 Choi 标准,24%的疾病进展患者根据 RECIST 标准表现为稳定疾病,高估了治疗效果。Choi 标准预测了 PFS/OS。衰减变化发生较早,占肿瘤体积变化的 21%。衰减和肿瘤生长率(TGR)与生存改善相关。
Choi 标准比 RECIST 更能准确地捕捉舒尼替尼的疗效,在接受该药治疗的 PanNET 患者中,应强烈考虑将其纳入标准临床实践。
