177Lu-DOTATOC for the Treatment of Patients With Somatostatin Receptor Positive NETs
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study is to assess if personalized peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-DOTATOC results in fewer adverse events than standard PRRT. Subjects will be randomized to either receive personalized or standard PRRT. Personalized PRRT will be determined based on dosimetry calculations after the first cycle. In addition comparisons, will be made with progression-free survival, serial CT imaging, ctDNA, and quality of life questionnaires. Subjects will be followed for 5 years or until they have progression and are switched to another systemic treatment (not including treatment with somatostatin analogues).

Detailed Description
Overall, 200 subjects will be randomized (1:1 randomization ratio) to receive standard injected activities of 177Lu-DOTATOC PRRT or personalized injection of 177Lu-DOTATOC PRRT. Randomization will be stratified for grade and primary location.
Screening Phase: Subjects will be screened against the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Screening by SSR imaging will be completed to determine expression of SSR and feasibility of treatment by PRRT. Once eligibility has been confirmed they will be randomized. Subjects will undergo a physical exam, complete a medical history questionnaire, quality of life questionnaires, blood work, and a diagnostic CT.
Treatment Phase: During the treatment phase, subjects will undergo 4 cycles of treatment. Each treatment cycle will be followed by 2 dosimetry SPECT/CT scans on day 1 (18 - 32 hours after treatment administration) and day 2 (64 - 80h after treatment administration) After cycle 3 quality of life questionnaires will be completed again.
Follow up Phase: At the end of treatment or after discontinuation of any cause, subjects will be followed for 5 years to continue data collection for the other objectives. Objective tumour response will be assessed every 6 months by diagnostic CT according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Active Comparator: Standard PRRT For standard PRRT 177Lu-DOTATOC therapy, the administered activity will be 7.4 GBq ± 10% as an intravenous infusion over a time of 10 to 30 minutes. |
Drug: 177Lu-DOTATOC
Subjects will receive 177Lu-DOTATOC PRRT treatment over 4 cycles, each cycle occurs every 8 weeks.
|
| Experimental: Personalized PRRT For 177Lu-DOTATOC therapy, for the first cycle the administered activity will be 7.4 GBq ± 10% as an intravenous infusion over a time of 10 to 30 minutes.Subsequent cycles will be adjusted based on dosimetry calculations. |
Drug: 177Lu-DOTATOC
Subjects will receive 177Lu-DOTATOC PRRT treatment over 4 cycles, each cycle occurs every 8 weeks.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Determine whether personalized 177Lu-DOTATOC PRRT reduces adverse events (AE). [8 months]
Frequency of AEs, will be compared between the two treatment arms.
- Compare the 12-month progression-free survival (PFS) of subjects receiving personalized or standard injected activity PRRT with RECIST criteria. [12 months]
PFS will be determined by RECIST1.1 criteria on serial CT, and analysed independently. The 12-month PFS will be evaluated by univariate analysis but different criteria for determination of PFS will be compared.
- Compare the 12-month progression-free survival (PFS) of subjects receiving personalized or standard injected activity PRRT with ITMO criteria. [12 months]
PFS will be determined by biochemical criteria (ITMO) on serial CT, and analysed independently. The 12-month PFS will be evaluated by univariate analysis but different criteria for determination of PFS will be compared.
- Compare the 12-month progression-free survival (PFS) of subjects receiving personalized or standard injected activity PRRT with Choi criteria. [12 months]
PFS will be determined by Choi criteria on serial CT, and analysed independently. The 12-month PFS will be evaluated by univariate analysis but different criteria for determination of PFS will be compared.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Determine response rate of both treatment arms with RECIST1.1 criteria [4 months]
Response rate as determined by structural criteria RECIST1.1
- Determine response rate of both treatment arms with Choi criteria [4 months]
Response rate as determined by structural criteria Choi.
- Determine response rate of both treatment arms with ITMO criteria [4 months]
Response rate as determined by structural criteria biochemical markers (ITMO criteria) (chromogranin A, 24h urinary HIAA).
- Quality of life (QoL) questionnaire scores (EORTC QLQ30) will be compared between the two treatment arms [8 months]
For QoL questionnaire scores (EORTC QLQ30) before, during, and after treatment
- Quality of life (QoL) questionnaire scores (EORTC GINET21) will be compared between the two treatment arms [8 months]
For QoL questionnaire scores (EORTC GINET21) before, during, and after treatment
- Quality of life (QoL) questionnaire scores (EQ-5D) will be compared between the two treatment arms [8 months]
For QoL questionnaire scores (EQ-5D) before, during, and after treatment
- Correlation of QoL scores (EORTC QLQ30) to ctDNA [8 months]
To assess correlation of QoL scores (EORTC QLQ30) to ctDNA allele frequency change from pre-treatment to on-treatment, using spearman correlation
- Correlation of QoL scores (EORTC GINET21) to ctDNA [8 months]
To assess correlation of QoL scores (EORTC GINET21) to ctDNA allele frequency change from pre-treatment to on-treatment, using spearman correlation
- Correlation of QoL scores (EQ-5D) to ctDNA [8 months]
To assess correlation of QoL scores (EQ-5D) to ctDNA allele frequency change from pre-treatment to on-treatment, using spearman correlation
Other Outcome Measures
- PFS and QoL scores to ctDNA levels [8 months]
To assess correlation of PFS and QoL scores (EORTC QLQ30) to ctDNA levels (ctDNA allele frequency change from pre-treatment to on-treatment), the following tests will be used, Spearman correlation for quality of life and Kaplan- Meier curves stratified at a median for PFS.
