SMS 201-995 treatment and advanced intestinal cancer: a pilot study.

A P Savage1, J Calam, C B Wood, S R Bloom.   

Abstract

The hypothesis that somatostatin, a compound with antitrophic effects on the gastrointestinal tract, may affect beneficially the progression of advanced intestinal cancer has been tested in a small pilot study. Ten patients, four with advanced pancreatic cancer, four with advanced colorectal cancer and two with gastric cancer, were treated with a long-acting analogue of somatostatin, SMS 201-995, 50, 100 micrograms subcutaneously twice daily. There were no clinical, radiological or biochemical indicators of a response to this treatment. There are no indications from this study that hormonal manipulation alters the rate of growth of advanced gastrointestinal cancer.
