The safety profile was consistent with the known profile of everolimus, he said. In the everolimus arm, the most common drug-related adverse events of any grade were stomatitis (63%), diarrhea (31%), fatigue (31%), and infections (29%). Common grade 3/4 events were stomatitis (9%), diarrhea (7%), infections (7%), and fatigue (3%).

Dr. Peter Naredi, scientific cochair of the congress, commented that this year’s meeting is particularly exciting for clinicians treating patients with neuroendocrine tumors because two trials, RADIANT-4 and NETTER-1 both show positive results.
