Renal Effects of Streptozocin: Preliminary Results of the STREPTOTOX Study

#900

Introduction: Based on old studies, Streptozocin (STZ) is known to have some renal toxicity.

Aim(s): We investigated the renal effects of STZ with current dosing regimens and renal surveillance in a 2-part study (retrospective and prospective part).

Materials and methods: Patients with GEP-NETS treated with STZ were included. The primary endpoint was the percentage of patients who had a decrease of estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) of at least 25% (MDRD formula) compared to baseline. We report here the results of the retrospective part of the study.
