#2004 OPALINE Study: Observational Study in a Real-World Setting of the Systemic Treatment of Progressive Unresectable or Well-Differentiated Metastatic Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (pNET)

Introduction: OPALINE Study focuses on patients with pNET. 2 targeted therapies (TT) offer new options to treat these patients: mTORi (everolimus) and a multi-targeted inhibitor (sunitinib).

#1637 The Effect of the Autophagy Inhibitor Chloroquine (CQ), Alone or in Combination with mTOR Inhibitors, on Neuroendocrine Tumor (NET) Growth and Metastatic Spread in Mouse Models

Introduction: mTOR inhibitors (mTORi) such as RAD001 demonstrated promising anti-cancer effect in NETs. Autophagy, a cell survival mechanism, is activated by mTORi. We have recently shown in the human NET cell line BON1 that autophagy is essential for cell survival. Treatment with CQ alone or together with mTORi robustly inhibited cell proliferation and survival, suggesting that treatment with CQ may potentiate the anti-tumorigenic effects of mTORi.

#1196 CBEZ235Z2401: Randomized Phase II Study of BEZ235 or Everolimus (EVE) in Patients with Advanced Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (pNET)

Introduction: EVE is an mTOR inhibitor (mTORi) approved for the treatment of advanced pNETs. BEZ235, a dual mTOR/PI3K inhibitor, may provide greater PI3K pathway inhibition and enhanced antitumor effects.

#1036 Abrogation of Autophagy by Chloroquine in Neuroendocrine Tumor Cells Treated with mTOR Inhibitors Induces Apoptosis, While Reduction of Cell Proliferation is Due to a Chloroquine, Autophagy Unrelated, Lysosomal Effect

Introduction: The therapy options for patients with advanced NETs are limited. The mTOR inhibitors (mTORi), Torin1 and NVP-BEZ235, are known to suppress cell proliferation in NETs. However, cancer cells may use mTORi-induced autophagy to prolong survival, evading the anti-cancer effect. Chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) have been shown to inhibit autophagy.
