Cabergoline is a dopamine agonist that has been used as the first-line treatment option for prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas for several decades. It not only suppresses hormone production from these prolactinomas, but also causes tumour shrinkage. Recent studies revealed some novel mechanisms by which cabergoline suppresses tumour cell proliferation and induces cell death. In this article, we review the most recent findings in cabergoline studies, focusing on its anti-tumour function. These studies suggest the potential broader clinical use of cabergoline in the treatment of other tumours such as breast cancer, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours, and lung cancer.

Abstract Purpose The role of streptozocin-based chemotherapy (STZ CTx) in advanced, well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNET) and the best sequence of treatments in advanced PanNET are unclear. We examined the outcomes after STZ CTx in patients who had been selected according to the current therapeutic guidelines. Methods Data from 50 PanNET patients consecutively treated with STZ CTx between 2010 and 2018 were analysed. The endpoints of the study were the objective-response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results STZ CTx was the first-line treatment in 54% of patients. The PanNET grades were as follows: 6% G1, 88% G2, and 6% well-differentiated G3. The ORR was 38%. Stable disease was the best response in 38% of patients and 24% showed progressive disease. Treatment was discontinued because of toxicity in one patient. Median PFS and OS were 12 (95% confidence interval (CI), 8.5–15.5) and 38 months (95% CI, 20.4–55.6), respectively. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, the median OS was 89 months (95% CI, 34.9–143.1) for STZ CTx as first-line therapy compared with 22 months (95% CI, 19.3–24.7; p = 0.001, log-rank test) for subsequent lines. Bone metastases negatively impacted survival (HR, 2.71, p = 0.009, univariate analysis, HR, 2.64, p = 0.015, multivariate analysis, and Cox regression). Conclusions In patients selected according to current guidelines, PFS, and OS after STZ CTx were lower than previously reported, whereas ORR was unchanged. First-line treatment was positively associated with OS and the presence of bone metastases was negatively associated with OS. Pre-treatment with targeted or peptide-receptor radionuclide therapy did not alter ORR, PFS, or OS.

e14552 Background: XELOX plus bevacizumab (BEV) is an established first line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). However, the cumulative neurotoxicity of oxaliplatin often requires therapy to be discontinued while the patient is still responding. The aim of this study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of XELOX plus BEV with oxaliplatin stop and go strategy. Methods: Fifty four patients with unresectable mCRC were enrolled as first line treatment. They were treated with four cycles of XELOX plus BEV, followed by maintenance therapy with capecitabine (Cape) plus BEV. Reintroduction of oxaliplatin was scheduled after eight cycles of Cape plus BEV or upon tumor progression. The primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS). Results: Forty nine patients (90%) achieved to the maintenance therapy and thirty two patients (59%) were reintroduced oxaliplatin. After a median follow-up time of 24.2 months, median PFS was 13.4 months (95%CI: 11.7-15.1), median duration of disease control was 13.8 months (95%CI: 11.6-16.0) and median overall survival was 29.0 months (95%CI: 23.1-34.9). The response rate and disease control rate were 57.4% and 96.3% in the initial XELOX plus BEV therapy, 6.1% and 73.5% in Cape plus BEV maintenance therapy, and 0% and 72.4% in reintroduced XELOX plus BEV therapy. The incidence of neuropathy was 38% in initial therapy, 33% in maintenance therapy and 43% in reintroduced therapy. Conclusions: XELOX plus bevacizumab therapy with oxaliplatin stop-and-go strategy was feasible to maintain long disease control without increasing severe neurotoxicity in first-line treatment for mCRC.

TPS5598 Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the leading cause of death from gynecologic cancers in US women. Despite high response rates to first-line treatment, ~70% of patients (pts) relapse within 3 years and then remain largely incurable. First-line treatment needs to be improved to achieve long-term remission in pts and improve the cure rate. The Phase III SOLO1 trial showed a meaningful clinical benefit for olap maintenance therapy in newly diagnosed OC pts with a BRCA mutation (Moore et al N Engl J Med 2018). Preliminary data suggest that combining a PD-L1 inhibitor, anti-angiogenic and PARP inhibitor (triplet therapy) may achieve a synergistic antitumor effect. The DUO-O study (NCT03737643) evaluates the efficacy and safety of treatment combinations involving standard-of-care platinum-based chemotherapy (chemo), VEGF inhibitor bev, anti-PD-L1 antibody durva and PARP inhibitor olap, in women with newly diagnosed advanced OC. Methods: Eligible pts for this double-blind, randomized, Phase III study must have newly diagnosed, advanced, high-grade epithelial OC and either have completed primary surgery or plan to have interval debulking surgery. Depending on their tumor BRCA mutation (tBRCAm) status (determined by central test), pts will join one of two independent cohorts. Pts in the non-tBRCAm cohort (n~906) will be randomized (1:1:1) before cycle 2 to: a) chemo + bev + placebo (for 6 cycles) followed by bev (15 mg/kg [total 15 months]) + placebo maintenance treatment (IV and tablets); b) chemo + bev + durva (6 cycles) followed by bev + durva (1120 mg q3w [total 15 months]) + placebo (tablets) maintenance treatment; or c) chemo + bev + durva (6 cycles) followed by bev + durva + olap (300 mg bd tablets [24 months]) maintenance treatment. Pts in the open-label tBRCAm cohort (n~150) will receive 6 cycles of chemo + durva followed by durva + olap maintenance therapy, with optional use of bev. The primary endpoint of progression-free survival will be assessed by modified RECIST 1.1. Key secondary endpoints include overall survival, overall response rate and duration of response. Enrollment began in January 2019. Clinical trial information: NCT03737643.

Abstract Background In current guidelines, thiopurines are still recommended as first-line maintenance therapy for patients with Crohn’s disease (CD). Due to their lack of immunogenicity, oral administration route and low costs, thiopurines are an attractive first-line treatment option. However, in recent studies the position of thiopurine monotherapy in CD has been questioned as a result of relatively lower overall effectiveness rates compared to ulcerative colitis. Real-world long-term effectiveness data substantiating the use and position of thiopurines in CD management remain sparse. We assessed long-term effectiveness of thiopurine monotherapy in CD using the population-based IBD South-Limburg (IBDSL) cohort. Methods All CD patients in the IBDSL cohort starting thiopurine monotherapy as first-line maintenance therapy between 1991–2014 were included. Thiopurine monotherapy was defined effective if either: (1) no escalation to biological treatment, (2) no course of corticosteroids, (3) no resective surgery or, (4) no hospitalization for active disease was required whilst on thiopurine treatment. Patients with early treatment discontinuation (i.e. <3 months) were identified, including reason of discontinuation. Long-term effectiveness was assessed adjusting for differences in follow-up between patients using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Potential risk factors for therapy failure were identified using Cox regression. Results In total, 643/1162 (55.3%) CD patients (median follow-up: 8.5 years IQR 5.0–13.2) received first-line thiopurine monotherapy after a median of 9.7 months (IQR 3.2–31.3) after diagnosis. Therapy was discontinued within three months in 164 patients (25.5%), mainly due to adverse events [Figure 1]. Thiopurine monotherapy was effective for the duration of treatment in 229/479 (35.6%) patients, corresponding to estimated effectiveness rates of 62.9%, 43.9% and 31.2% after 1, 5 and 10 years, respectively [Figure 1–2]. No significant difference in effectiveness was observed after stratifying for era of thiopurine initiation (pre-biological (1991–1998) vs. biological (>1999) era, p=0.84). Factors associated with thiopurine failure were stricturing disease (aHR 1.41, 95%CI 1.01–1.96) and upper GI involvement (aHR 1.52, 95%CI 1.02–2.28) at diagnosis. During follow-up, 40/229 patients with a durable response discontinued treatment due to quiescent disease. Of these, 35 patients (87.5%) remained without treatment 24 months after discontinuation. Conclusion Real-world data from this population-based study demonstrate that thiopurine monotherapy remains an effective and durable first-line treatment option for CD, even in the biological era. These results should be considered in the ongoing discussion regarding the position of thiopurine therapy.
