About this trial

The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of \[177Lu\]Lu-DOTA-TATE plus octreotide long-acting release (LAR) versus octreotide LAR alone in newly diagnosed patients with somatostatin receptor positive (SSTR+), well differentiated Grade1 and Grade 2 (G1 and G2) (Ki-67 \<10%) advanced gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) with high disease burden

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Presence of metastasized or locally advanced, unresectable (curative intent), histologically proven, well differentiated Grade 1 or Grade 2 (Ki-67 <10%) gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (GEP-NET) diagnosed within 6 months prior to screening.

Primary tumor or a metastatic lesion > 4 cm

More than one tumor or metastatic lesions measuring > 2 cm

Elevated alkaline phosphatase > 2.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN)

Disqualifiers

Prior administration of a therapeutic radiopharmaceutical for GEP-NET at any time prior to randomization in the study.

Any previous therapy with interferons, mTOR-inhibitors, chemotherapy or other systemic therapies except somatostatin analogues (SSAs) of GEP-NET. If as per Investigator's opinion a participant is candidate for such therapies, such participant must not be enrolled.

Participant who received more than 4 cycles of prior SSAs (e.g., octreotide long-acting release) are not eligible. In addition, any participant receiving treatment with short-acting octreotide, which cannot be interrupted for 24 h before the administration of [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE, or any participant receiving treatment with SSAs, which cannot be interrupted for at least 4 weeks before the administration of [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE.

Documented RECIST v1.1 progression during previous SSA treatments for the current GEP-NET at any time prior to randomization.

Trial design

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE

    Radiation

    \[177Lu\]Lu-DOTA-TATE will be administered 4 times during treatment period with frequency of every 8 weeks (Q8W)

  • Octreotide LAR

    Drug

    Octreotide LAR will be administered Q8W when co-administered with \[177Lu\]Lu-DOTA-TATE in the investigational arm followed by Q4W. In the control arm Octreotide LAR will be administered Q4W.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Progression Free Survival (PFS) centrally assessed by Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC)

PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of progression (centrally assessed by Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC) according to RECIST v1.1) or death due to any cause.

Time frame
After observing approximately 88 PFS events as per BIRC assessments, expected after approximately 33 months from study start

Secondary outcomes

1

Time to Deterioration (TDD) (Key Secondary)

Time to deterioration is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of a deterioration compared to the baseline scores or death from any cause for each of the following domains (tested separately) of EORTC QLQ-GI.NET21 \[gastrointestinal scale (GI scale)\] and EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaires (fatigue, diarrhea, and global health scale).

Time frame
After observing approximately 88 PFS events as per BIRC assessment, expected after approximately 33 months from study start
2

Progression Free Survival (PFS)

PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of progression (Investigator assessed according to RECIST v1.1) or death due to any cause.

Time frame
After observing approximately 88 PFS events as per BIRC assessment, expected after approximately 33 months from study start
3

Objective Response Rate (ORR)

ORR: Rate of participants with best overall response (BOR) of partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) as per RECIST v1.1 (both Investigator and centrally assessed by BIRC).

Time frame
After observing approximately 88 PFS events as per BIRC assessment, expected after approximately 33 months from study start
4

Disease Control Rate (DCR)

DCR: Rate of participants with BOR of PR, CR or stable disease (SD) as per RECIST v1.1 (both Investigator and centrally assessed by BIRC).

Time frame
After observing approximately 88 PFS events as per BIRC assessment, expected after approximately 33 months from study start
