#3025 Phase-II Trials of Pazopanib in Metastatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasia (NEN): A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Introduction: Several Phase-II trials have been designed to evaluate Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) and in particular Pazopanib in Neuroendocrine Neoplasia (NEN) but it’s efficacy is not yet demonstrated in a randomized Phase III trial.

#1758 Efficacy and Safety of Low Dose Vandetanib in Metastatic Medullary Thyroid Cancer

Introduction: Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is an aggressive thyroid malignancy. Vandetanib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for locally advanced or metastatic MTC, administered orally 300 mg/daily. Diarrhea, hypertension and QT prolongation are common side effects and may require withdrawal or dose reduction.

#1737 The Role of MAPK-Signalling in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Cancer

Introduction: Upon diagnosis, 65% of pNET patients suffer from metastatic or locally unresectable disease. The receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib and the mTOR inhibitor everolimus have set precedence for successful targeted therapies in pNET disease. However, response prediction and treatment alternatives still do not meet medical needs. Recent studies revealed mutations in RAS oncogenes in a fraction of tumours, emphasising a potential role of the MAPK pathway as therapeutic target.

#1588 Response Prediction for Vandetanib Treatment in Recurrent Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma using F18-FDG PET

Introduction: Given its neuroendocrine origin, the prognosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) remained poor in common chemotherapeutic approaches. However, the encouraging results of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) such as vandetanib emphasize the high demand for selecting appropriate candidates.

#1173 Investigation of the Effects of Sunitinib on Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma Primary Cultures

Introduction: The main treatment for Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma is surgery. However these tumors are highly vascularized, suggesting the possible role for anti-angiogenic agents in the medical therapy. Sunitinib is a multi-targeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), mainly described to inhibit VEGFR
