Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the use of 177Lu-PP-F11N for imaging and therapy of patients with advanced medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). 177Lu-PP-F11N is a gastrin analogon, binding to cholecystokinin-2 receptors. This receptors show an overexpression on more than 90 % of medullary thyroid carcinomas.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Early Phase 1

Detailed Description

A phase 0 study (Lumed study part A) was already performed, showing low toxicity of 177Lu-PP-F11N and tumor uptake in all patients. Co-injection of Physiogel (Gelofusin) showed insignificant reduction of kidney uptake and can therefore be omitted for a radionuclide therapy with 177Lu-PP-F11N. In this study, the effect of the NEP-1 inhibitor Sacuitril on the in-vivo stability of 177Lu-PP-F11N and the uptake, respectively radiation doses in MTC metastases and organs will be evaluated, using a cross-over design already used for the Lumed part A study. Each patient will receive two injections of 177Lu-PP-F11N, with and without additional medication with Sacuitril Imaging findings, acquired by SPECT/CT, will be compared to imaging with 68Ga-DOTATOC positron emission tomography (PET)/CT. The inclusion of 8 patients is planned.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Tumor radiation doses [Measurement up to 72 hours after each injection of 177Lu-PP-F11N]

      Evaluation of the radiation doses in tumor tissue from MTC after injection of 177Lu-PP-F11N alone and in combination with Sacuitril (Entresto)

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Kidney radiation doses [Measurement up to 72 hours after each injection of 177Lu-PP-F11N]

      Evaluation of the radiation doses in the kidneys and the tumor-to-kidney dose ratios after injection of 177Lu-PP-F11N alone and in combination with Sacuitril (Entresto)

    2. Organ radiation doses [Measurement up to 72 hours after each injection of 177Lu-PP-F11N]

      Evaluation of the radiation doses in other organs and the appropriate organ-to-kidney dose ratios after injection of 177Lu-PP-F11N alone and in combination with Sacuitril (Entresto)

    3. In-vivo stability [Blood samples for measurement 5 and 30 minutes post injection of 177Lu-PP-F11N]

      Measurement (HPLC) of the in-vivo stability of 177Lu-PP-F11N alone and in combination with Sacuitril (Entresto).

    4. Autoradiography [Through study completion, up to 18 months]

      In case of surgery with available tumor tissue samples, imaging results will be compared with autoradiographic analysis of somatostatine- and CCK2-receptor expression in tumor tissue.

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. Chromogranin A [Measurement up to 72 hours after the first injection of 177Lu-PP-F11N]

      Chromogranin A blood values will be compared to the radiation doses of the stomach.
