TL;DR: In Patient LRW, who had Stage IV pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor with Disease Progression, CPI-613 therapy provided long-term Stable Disease and with only 2 minor transient incidents of adverse events during a one-year treatment.
Abstract: Introduction: The current case study describes the safety and prolonged therapeutic effect of an investigational drug (CPI-613) in a patient (Patient LRW) with Stage IV pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
Case presentation: Patient LRW was an 88-year old Caucasian woman who was diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and had been treated with Sandostatin followed by Enzastaurin Prior to treatment with CPI-613, she was suffering from progressive Stage IV disease, with lesions located in multiple areas including the pancreas, liver, lung, uterine, stomach, thyroid nodule, etc During the one-year treatment with CPI-613, only two incidents of mild (Grade 1) and transient adverse events (metallic taste and hyperuricemia) were observed The Progression-Free Survival was >15 months (Patient LRW still alive as of June 2011), which is consistent with the reported median Progression-Free Survival of 114 months with Everolimus treatment and 114-126 months with Sunitinib treatment Since the disease remained stable for a year during treatment with CPI-613, Patient LRW was switched to maintenance therapy with CPI-613 and is currently doing well
Conclusion: In Patient LRW, who had Stage IV pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor with Disease Progression, CPI-613 therapy provided long-term Stable Disease and with only 2 minor transient incidents of adverse events during a one-year treatment This is an uncommon case where chemotherapy with an investigational drug is providing long-term stabilization of advanced metastatic disease without significant adverse events
