About this trial
This phase II trial investigates how well 177Lu-DOTATATE works in treating patients with breast cancer that is stage IV or has come back (recurrent). 177Lu-DOTATATE may shrink or destroy the tumor or circulating breast cancer stem cells if they show evidence of the SSTR2. 177Lu-DOTATATE is a targeted therapy that uses DOTATATE, linked to a radioactive agent called 177Lu. DOTATATE attaches to tumor cells with SSTR2 and delivers 177Lu to kill them. Giving 177Lu-DOTATATE may help decrease the number and size of tumors and the number of circulating cancer stem cells in patient's blood for the treatment of patients with breast cancer positive for SSTR2.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Objective response rate (ORR)
Using the intent to treat (ITT) set and the efficacy analysis set, each ORR will be reported as a point estimate along with a 2-sided 95% exact confidence interval (CI).
Secondary outcomes
Disease control rate (DCR)
A point estimate and 2-sided 95% CI will be provided for the DCR, defined as the proportion of participants achieving a complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) (as assessed by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors \[RECIST\] version \[v\]1.1).
Duration of response (DOR)
DOR will be estimated on responding participants and plotted with cumulative incidence functions: one curve for the first occurrence of recurrence, progression, or disease-related death and one curve for deaths in the absence of disease recurrence or progression.
Progression-free survival
PFS will be plotted using a Kaplan-Meier curve and reported with median survival and a 95% CI.
Incidence of adverse events (AEs)
The severity of the AE will be assessed by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Study drug-related AEs are those assessed by investigator as definitely or probably related. Using the safety analysis set, the incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and non-treatment-related AEs will be determined for study participants who receive at least one dose of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate (177Lu- DOTATATE). The point estimate and 95% CI will be reported for overall toxicities as well as for each major organ category.
