Study Description
Brief Summary
An international multi-centre, stratified, open, randomized, comparator-controlled, parallel-group phase II study comparing adjuvant treatment with 177Lu-DOTATATE to best supportive care in patients after resection of neuroendocrine liver metastases.

No Intervention: Standard of Care Control arm as per standard of care patients go on routine follow up post surgery. |

Experimental: Treatment Treatment with Lutathera post surgery. |
Drug: Lutathera
Dosage:
In total 14.8 GBq (400 mCi) 177Lu-DOTATATE administered in two equally divided doses. Each dose to be infused over 30 minutes.
Duration of treatment:
Two administrations of 177Lu-DOTATATE (each treatment 7.4 GBQ (200 mCi) at 8±1-week intervals, which can be extended to 16 weeks for resolving acute toxicity.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Disease Free Survival [5 years]
To compare overall Disease-Free Survival (DFS) at 3 years after treatment with 177Lu-DOTATATE to best supportive care in patients with R0/R1 resected liver metastases of well differentiated (grade 1 or 2) GEP NET and no extrahepatic disease manifestation prior to randomization in the study.
