#1507 The CDK4/6 Inhibitor Palbociclib Induces Anti-proliferative Mechanisms in Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms In Vitro

Introduction: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) are rare tumors with heterogeneous molecular backgrounds and mostly unknown druggable driver mutations. Especially for the midgut NENs effective treatment options are limited. The retinoblastoma pathway is often inactive due to CDK4/6 overexpression in pancreatic NENs. Palbociclib is a FDA approved (ER-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer) cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 inhibitor and might impair cell cycle progression and proliferation.

#1172 Dual Inhibition of PI3K and mTORC1/C2 by PKI-587 (PF-05212384) as a Promising Therapeutic Option for Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Disease and Its Effect on AKT-Signaling

Introduction: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NEN) are heterogeneous in their clinical behavior and therapeutic options are still not satisfactory. The “crosstalk” of different signaling pathways in NEN cells appears to be more complex as known already. PKI-587 is a highly potent novel dual inhibitor of PI3K and mTORC1/C2.
