A Pilot, Phase II Study With a Prospective, Randomized, Cross-Over, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Design to Assess the Short-Term Effects of Tolvaptan Plus Placebo vs Tolvaptan Plus Octreotide LAR Combination Therapy in ADPKD Patients With Normal Kidney Function or Hyperfiltration

Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a leading cause of End Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) worldwide. Elevated levels of 3', 5' - cyclic AMP (cAMP) play a central role in the pathogenesis and progression of the disease. Vasopressin antagonists and somatostatin analogues, which indirectly reduce adenyl cyclase 6 activity, have been found to markedly reduce renal tubular cell proliferation and cyst growth in experimental models of ADPKD. In combination, the two treatments show a clear additive effect and may significantly reduce renal cystic and fibrotic volume as well as cAMP levels to wild type levels.
The vasopressin antagonist Tolvaptan and the somatostatin analogue Octreotide share a similar renoprotective effect also in human disease.
Both medications effectively slow total kidney and cystic volume (TKV and TCV, respectively) growth and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline in patients with ADPKD. The short-term effect of both medications appear to be larger when the GFR is normal or even higher than normal and kidney volumes are still relatively stable. On the basis of experimental data, it is conceivable that Tolvaptan and Octreotide LAR should have an additive effect also in human disease, during initial treatment as well as in the long-term. To address the working hypothesis of an additional short-term effect of Tolvaptan and Octreotide, we propose to run a pilot, explorative, randomized, placebo-controlled, clinical trial with a Cross-Over Design to compare the short-term effects of Tolvaptan monotherapy and Tolvaptan plus Octreotide LAR combination therapy on TKV as assessed by MRI, and on GFR as directly measured by the iohexol plasma clearance technique in ADPKD patients with normal (80 to 120 ml/min/1.73m2) kidney function or even kidney hyperfiltration (GFR ≥120 ml/min/1.73m2).

Medical treatment in acromegaly: a network meta-analysis

Review

Author: Haidich, Anna-Bettina ; Ilie, Mirela-Diana ; Anagnostis, Panagiotis ; Raverot, Gérald ; Dekkers, Olaf M ; Kaparounaki, Chrysi ; De Alcubierre, Dario ; Goulis, Dimitrios G ; Isidori, Andrea M

Abstract:

Objective:

Acromegaly is a rare disorder caused by a growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma. Clinical trial evidence for its management is limited. This study compared medical treatments for acromegaly through a network meta-analysis, assessing biochemical and radiological responses.

Design:

A systematic review and network meta-analysis were conducted following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and network meta-analyses guidelines and Cochrane Handbook recommendations (PROSPERO registration: CRD42023364373).

Methods:

PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched up to June 2024. Included studies were randomized controlled trials and nonrandomized studies evaluating the efficacy or safety of acromegaly treatments. Primary outcomes were the percentage of adjusted insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) normalization and tumor shrinkage.

Results:

Twenty-seven studies, involving 4131 patients and 11 treatments were included. Pegvisomant was the best treatment for IGF-1 normalization, followed by pasireotide LAR. Both outperformed first-generation somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs) combined with dopamine agonists (odds ratio [OR], 1.83; 95% CIs, 1.37-2.46 and OR, 1.46; 95% CIs, 1.02-2.08, respectively; I2 = 41%). Octreotide LAR was superior to oral octreotide capsules (OR, 5.41; 95% CIs, 1.89-15.52). For tumor shrinkage, pasireotide LAR was more effective than SRLs (n = 1059; OR, 11.47; 95% CIs, 1.5-87.64; I2 = 0%). Methodological heterogeneity may have affected comparability.

Conclusions:

Our findings suggest pasireotide LAR and pegvisomant as the most effective treatments for IGF-1 normalization. Pasireotide LAR was the best treatment for tumor shrinkage, though the evidence base was limited, requiring cautious interpretation. Their potential role as first-line options after surgery requires further research. Clinical decisions should consider cost, safety, and patient-specific parameters to optimize outcomes.

Surgical treatment and somatostatin experience in growth hormone-secreting pituitary macroadenoma due to novel AIP mutation

Article

Abstract:

Objectives:

Somatotropinomas are extremely rare in children and frequently associated with genetic causes. Among pituitary gigantism, approximately 30 % are attributed to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein ( AIP ) gene mutations, whereas other genetic causes are less common. These mutations cause more aggressive tumors that are challenging to control with a single intervention and often exhibit resistance to somatostatin analogs (SSAs). Our aim is to present a pediatric patient with a somatotropinoma due to a novel AIP variant who responded positively to SSA therapy following a single surgical intervention.

Case presentation:

A 15-year and 8-month-old male patient presented with complaints of excessive height and enlargement of the hands and feet over the past 2 years. Laboratory investigations revealed a random growth hormone level of 50 μg/L (normal range [NR]: 0.077–10.8) and insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1) level of 1,107 ng/mL (age-adjusted NR: 224–978/>+2 standardised deviation scores). Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a pituitary macroadenoma extending into the suprasellar region. A craniotomy was performed, and the majority of the tumor was resected. Due to the presence of residual tumor, SSA therapy (octreotide-LAR) was initiated. After 1 year of follow-up, IGF-1 levels returned to the normal range, and tumor growth was controlled. Genetic analysis identified a heterozygous frameshift novel variant (c.25delC, p.(Arg9Glyfs*9)) in the AIP gene.

Conclusions:

Although AIP mutation-positive cases are typically resistant to SSAs, our patient carrying a novel AIP variant demonstrated a favorable response to SSA treatment.

Abstract:

Aberrant expression of glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide receptors (GIPR) might regulate increased steroidogenesis in patients with ACTH-independent cortisol hypersecretion. This study investigated the presence of aberrant GIPR expression in patients with ACTH-independent cortisol hypersecretion and bilateral adrenal adenomas.Patients with bilateral adrenal adenomas, ACTH-independent CS and aberrant GIPR screened via mixed meal test were included. Patients’ demographic features and laboratory and imaging findings were obtained retrospectively.Twenty-one patients were included. Overt CS findings were present in 14.3% of the patients. One patient (4.7%) had a complete positive response (537% increase) and one patient (4.7%) had a partial response (41% increase) to the mixed meal test. In the remaining 19 patients, a mean change of -10.1% (range: −56.5% to+24.7%) in cortisol levels was observed at 120 min compared to baseline. The patient with a complete positive response was confirmed using 100 µg of IV octreotide. The patient underwent unilateral adrenalectomy after an inadequate long-term response to octreotide LAR therapy. The histopathology revealed bilateral macronodular adrenal cortical disease. We identified a germline heterozygous frameshift variant in the KDM1A gene in the patient’s blood sample and a recurrent deletion of the p arm of chromosome 1 harboring the KDM1A locus in the adrenal sample.These results may provide useful insights into the screening of aberrant GIPR expression in patients with ACTH-independent hypercortisolism. It is essential to further investigate which patients require screening. Moreover, a significant cortisol peak observed during the mixed meal test in the presence of these receptors has drawn attention.

ITM fleshes out data for Phase III radiopharma success in neuroendocrine tumours

A radiopharmaceutical from ITM Isotope Technologies Munich reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 33% versus Novartis' targeted molecular therapy Afinitor (everolimus) in patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs). The outcome of the Phase III COMPETE study was first top-lined in January, with the announcement marking one of only a handful of wins for a radiopharmaceutical in a head-to-head trial. Detailed results were presented Thursday at the European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) annual meeting.The trial compared ITM-11 (177Lu-edotreotide) with Afinitor in 309 patients with inoperable, progressive Grade 1 or 2 somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-positive GEP-NETs. According to ITM, approximately 15% of people in each trial arm were treatment naïve, with the remaining 85% or so having received one prior therapy.Results showed that median progression-free survival (PFS) for ITM's therapeutic was 23.9 months, which was significantly and clinically better than the 14.1 months for Afinitor. In comparison, in the Phase III NETTER-2 trial, Novartis' peptide receptor radionuclide therapy Lutathera (lutetium Lu 177 dotatate) reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 72% as a first-line therapy for patients with SSTR-positive well-differentiated Grade 2/3 advanced GEP-NETs versus high-dose octreotide LAR alone, with median PFS in the two arms of 22.8 months and 8.5 months, respectively.ITM told FirstWord that the choice of Afinitor as a comparator in COMPETE was "backed by scientific evidence of efficacy and high clinical acceptance after market authorisation." The company suggested that this decision set "a higher standard for meeting the primary endpoint in more advanced grade tumours," adding that it hopes "physicians will recognise the higher threshold of our study design."FDA filing this year"These successful results validate our decision to design a pivotal Phase III trial directly comparing a targeted radiopharmaceutical against a targeted molecular therapy," CEO Andrew Carey said. Based on the findings, ITM plans to seek approval of ITM-11 in the US this year; however, the company told FirstWord that it is "currently prohibited" from filing in Europe until 2029 due to orphan drug designation on Lutathera.Top-line results also showed that interim median overall survival (OS) was 63.4 months for ITM-11. That was numerically higher than the 58.7 months seen with Afinitor, but not statistically significant at the current analysis. ITM noted that patients were allowed to start an alternative therapy after disease progression, "potentially confounding" the OS data."These data show unequivocal support for [ITM-11's] potential benefit in extending PFS," remarked study investigator Jaume Capdevila, adding that the radiopharmaceutical's "convenient dosing schedule and favourable safety results reinforce its potential as a compelling new treatment option."In COMPETE, patients were treated with ITM-11 every three months for up to four cycles, or with Afinitor daily for up to 30 months, or until disease progression. Meanwhile, ITM's therapy was well tolerated, with treatment-emergent adverse events occurring at a rate of 82.5%, compared with 97% for Afinitor. However, there was one Grade 2 event of myelodysplastic syndrome in the ITM-11 arm.Growing optionsNeuroendocrine tumours are one of the few cancers that have so far benefited from the approval of radiopharmaceuticals. Novartis currently markets Lutathera as a treatment for SSTR-positive GEP-NETs, while Sanofi also has skin in the game, having reached a deal last year to join forces with RadioMedix and Orano Med on the radioligand medicine AlphaMedix (212Pb-DOTAMTATE).Something that differentiates ITM from other players, however, is that it has worked in the radiopharma space for over 20 years and has manufacturing in-house. "Together, with our global isotopes manufacturing business, robust supply chain and experienced clinical and commercial team, we believe we are uniquely positioned as a standout leader in the fast-growing radiopharmaceutical industry," Carey said.ITM-11 — which combines the therapeutic β-emitting radioisotope lutetium-177 with the synthetic SSTR agonist edotreotide — is also being investigated in the Phase III COMPOSE trial in patients with well-differentiated, aggressive Grade 2 or 3 SSTR-positive GEP-NETs.

Lutathera Breakthrough: 72 Percent Reduction in Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Progression

Novartis has unveiled groundbreaking data from the Phase III NETTER-2 trial, revealing that Lutathera® plus long-acting release (LAR) octreotide has demonstrated a remarkable 72 percent reduction in the risk of disease progression or death as first-line therapy for patients with somatostatin receptor-positive (SSTR+) well-differentiated grade 2/3 advanced gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) compared to high-dose octreotide LAR alone. These findings were presented at the prestigious 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancers Symposium. Dr. Simron Singh, Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto, emphasized the practice-changing impact of these results, stating, "These positive results for Lutathera are practice-changing and offer new first-line treatment data for patients who have a significant unmet need." The trial's efficacy endpoints further underscore the superiority of Lutathera, with a progression-free survival hazard ratio of 0.28 and a median progression-free survival of 22.8 months, significantly outperforming high-dose octreotide LAR. Novartis Global Head of Oncology Development, Jeff Legos, hailed the trial as a milestone, noting, "This is the first positive Phase III trial of a radioligand therapy in the first-line setting, and the overall efficacy and safety results are amongst the most clinically relevant observed to date in this kind of advanced cancer." Legos stressed the significance of addressing the unmet needs of patients with newly diagnosed advanced GEP-NETs and reaffirmed Novartis' commitment to advancing radioligand therapies. The study reported no new or unexpected safety findings, aligning with the well-established safety profile of Lutathera. Notably, the most common adverse events for the Lutathera arm included nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, with lymphocyte count decrease as the most common grade ≥3 adverse event. As the NETTER-2 trial continues, Novartis remains focused on evaluating secondary endpoints, including overall survival and long-term safety. The results mark a pivotal moment in the landscape of treating advanced GEP-NETs, offering hope for improved outcomes and further advancements in cancer care.
