Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are derived from NE cells that reside widely in the endocrine system and other organs and comprise a heterogeneous group of neoplasms. Because NETs can arise in a broad spectrum of locations they are associated with a broad range of symptoms that may be caused by mass effects and/or by the production of hormones or biogenic amines. Most recently, entinostat has been shown to down-regulate the number and function of two key immunosuppressive cells, myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and regulatory T-cells (Tregs), in the tumor microenvironment thereby enhancing the activity of immune checkpoint inhibition. To date, entinostat has been investigated alone or in combination in >900 patients with cancer in clinical studies, including >600 patients with solid tumors. Entinostat as a single agent has been studied in metastatic melanoma and in combination has been studied in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), breast cancer, renal cell cancer, and colon cancer.
