abstract

Aggressive meningiomas that progress after surgery/radiotherapy represent an unmet medical need. Strong and constant expression of SSTR2A receptors and activation of the Pi3K/Akt/mTOR pathway have been demonstrated in meningiomas. The combination of everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, and octreotide, a somatostatin agonist, has shown additive antitumor effect in vitro. The phase II CEVOREM trial investigated the efficacy of this combination on recurrent meningiomas.
