#2817 METNET: A Phase II Trial of Metformin in Patients with Well Differentiated Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Preclinical studies have suggested that metformin has antitumor effects, likely due to blockage of mTOR pathway through AMPK and decreased insulin levels. A retrospective study showed that metformin combined with everolimus to treat related hyperglycemia offered longer progression-free survival (PFS) in patients (pts) with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NET).

#1213 Everolimus (EVE)-Induced Hyperglycemia (HG) in Patients (pts) with Advanced G1-G2 Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs): Clinical Relevance and Predictive Value

Introduction: EVE-induced HG can be explained by a decrease in insulin release or increase in peripheral insulin resistance. It has been documented in 12-13% of NET pts included in phase III clinical trials based on investigators reports.
