NEURO-ONCOLOGY • NOVEMBER 2017with prior chemotherapy. 1 patient was not evaluable at 3 months. With a median follow-up of 14.3 months (2-24 months), PFS6 was 58.2% (95% CI33.5-76.5%) and PFS12 was 38% (95% CI16-60%). Overall survival at 12 months was 68% (95% CI42.1%-84.2%). By central review, volumetric analysis at 3 months demonstrated a decrease in tumor volume superior to 10% in 8 tumors (4 patients). Pretherapeutic growth rate was decreased of more than 50% in 29/35 tumors (18/20 patients) during the first 3 months. Inclusion-to-3 months tumor growth rate (mean at 1.9%/month) was significantly lower than preinclusion-to-inclusion growth rate (mean at 18.5%/ month) (p=0.0003). Toxicity included stomatitis (10, 50%) and 7 grade III AE (stomatitis, 3; pneumopathy, 1). SST2 receptor expression was not correlated with PFS and growth rate. P70 IHC and genomic studies are ongoing. CONCLUSION: Everolimus and octreotide combination appears active in refractory aggressive and progressive meningiomas with moderate toxicity, and should request further evaluation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
