Meningioma is the most common primary intracranial tumor in adults. Thorough majority of tumors are slow growing, many patients fail first-line treatments with surgery and/or radiation. Others are poor surgical candidates for definitive surgical resection due to their age, tumor location or associated medical comorbidities. Few targeted therapies and biologics for meningioma are studied, and they have limited efficacy. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of Sandostatin LAR as a potential treatment for recurrent, treatment resistant meningiomas. The retrospective chart review included patients over 18 years of age and diagnosed with meningioma who were administered Sandostatin LAR from 01/01/2010 until 06/01/2017 at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary endpoint was assessing safety. There were 47 patients included in the chart review. The mean age was 64 years old and 69.6% were female. The mean KPS score was 80 (60-100). The majority of patients were diagnosed with WHO grade 1 meningioma (73.3%) compared to WHO grade 2 (11.1%) and WHO grade 3 (15.6%). Of the 47 patients, 14 experienced disease progression and 6 died. The mean overall survival times for grade 1, 2, and 3 were 4.5, 2.3, and 0.91 years respectively. Median time to progression for grade 1, 2, and 3 were 3.1, 2.3, and 0.20 years respectively. The most common AE was diarrhea which occurred in 19 out of 47 patients. Overall, Sandostatin LAR was well tolerated. This is the largest reported cohort of meningioma patients treated with Sandostatin LAR and it suggests that Sandostatin LAR can be an effective, well tolerated treatment for these patients.
