177Lu-DOTATATE Modified Delivery Based on Individualized Dosimetry

(LUMOD-ID)

What this study is about

The goal of this study is to learn if individualized dosimetry-based prescribing of Lutetium-177 DOTATATE (Lutathera, Novartis Pharmaceuticals) improves treatment outcomes for adults with unresectable neuroendocrine tumors.

View original scientific description

The goal of this study is to learn if individualized dosimetry-based prescribing of Lutetium-177 DOTATATE (Lutathera, Novartis Pharmaceuticals) improves treatment outcomes for adults with unresectable neuroendocrine tumors. To investigate this, study participants will: * Undergo Somatostatin Receptor (SSTR) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, such as a DOTATOC PET/CT scan * Be randomized to receive standard treatment (as per FDA guidelines) or investigational treatment (customized dosing of Lutathera based upon dosimetry) * Undergo blood tests for 4 to 8 weeks after each Lutathera treatment * Complete patient reported outcome questionnaires * Visit the clinic for follow-up about every 8 weeks.

Interventions

DRUG

Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate therapy

LUTATHERA is an FDA approved radiopharmaceutical therapy for gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (GEP-NET). This radiopharmaceutical binds to somatostatin receptors, which are overexpressed on GEP-NET cells, and subsequently delivers beta particle radiation to the tumor cells.

Primary outcome measures

Objective Response Rate (ORR) at 6 months after treatment

Time frame: 6 months after completion of treatment

Determine objective response rate in patients with grade 1 or 2 gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) treated with dosimetrically-determined LUTATHERA administration compared to active control.

Who can participate

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

Inclusion criteria

  • Provision of signed and dated informed consent form.
  • Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study.
  • Aged ≥ 18 years at time of consent.
  • Pathologically confirmed (histology or cytology) malignant neoplasm that is determined to be a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (Ki-67 ≤ 20%) with the primary tumor location known or believed to be gastroenteropancreatic origin (GEP-NET)
  • Disease measuring ≥ 1.5 cm in diameter on CT or MRI as measured per RECIST that shows uptake \> liver background on sstr2 PET/CT with any FDA approved sstr2 imaging agent. SSTR2 PET/CT must have been obtained within 90 days prior to scheduled C1D1 of Lutathera.
  • Recommended to receive LUTATHERA® therapy for unresectable and/or metastatic neuroendocrine disease.
  • Adequate performance status (ECOG of 0 or 1; or Karnofsky performance status of ≥70).
  • Agrees to contraception during therapy.
  • Neutrophil count within normal limits within 28 days of treatment day 1.
  • Platelet count within normal limits within 28 days of treatment day 1.
  • Ability to take oral medication and be willing to adhere to the treatment regimen
  • For individuals of reproductive potential: agreement to use effective birth control
  • Agreement to adhere to Lifestyle Considerations throughout study duration: abstain from caffeine or xanthine-containing products as well as alcohol before the start of cycle dosing and through the cycle's final blood sample; minimize social interactions during low blood counts.

Exclusion criteria

  • Individuals who are pregnant or lactating (note: potential participants should not engage in 'pump \& dump' strategy; lactation must be discontinued).
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection (requiring inpatient admission or a delay to start of therapy), fever, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy ≤ 4 weeks of C1D1 (Toxicities from prior therapies should have resolved to ≤ CTCAE grade 1 or a new baseline established).
  • Prior peptide-receptor radiotherapy (PRRT).
  • Therapeutic investigational drug within 4 weeks of C1D1 (imaging agents are acceptable).
  • A concurrent malignancy that, in the opinion of the investigator, would cause a safety risk by delaying therapy or confound/negatively impact study objectives (documentation of the rationale must be provided)
  • Prior external beam radiation dose to the kidneys of \>10 Gy (mean dose to functional renal volume).
  • Prior external beam radiation (including brachytherapy) involving 25% of the bone marrow (excluding scatter doses of ≤ 5 Gy) as estimated by a radiation oncologist.
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to Octreoscan® or Netspot™.

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
