Everolimus as first line therapy for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours: current knowledge and future perspectives

2017

urpose Everolimus has been shown to be effective for advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pNETs), but its positioning in the therapeutic algorithm for pNETs is matter of debate. Methods With the aim to shed light on this point, we performed an up-to-date critical review taking into account the results of both retrospective and prospective published studies, and the recommendations of international guidelines. In addition, we performed an extensive search on the Clinical Trial Registries databases worldwide, to gather information on the ongoing clinical trials related to this specific topic. Results We identified eight retrospective published studies, two prospective published studies…

Biweekly oxaliplatin plus irinotecan and folinic acid-modulated 5-fluorouracil: a phase II study in pretreated patients with metastatic colorectal ca…

2006

Oxaliplatin (OXA) and irinotecan (IRI) are active drugs for metastatic colorectal cancer, their toxicity profiles are not overlapping, and both drugs have shown at least additivity with folinic acid-modulated 5-fluorouracil (5FU). We carried out this phase II study to assess the activity and toxicity of a biweekly regimen including OXA plus IRI on day 1, and levo-folinic acid (LFA) plus 5FU on day 2 (OXIRIFAFU) in pretreated patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Forty-one patients, all previously treated with adjuvant and/or palliative 5FU-based chemotherapy (16 of them already exposed to IRI, OXA or both), were enrolled into this trial. On the basis of sensitivity to previous treatme…
