Detailed Description

This is a phase III study of Peptid Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-DOTATATE versus Interferon α-2b. Objectives of the study: 1. To assess the benefit of 177Lu-DOTATATE versus interf...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Adult patients (≥ 18 yrs).
  • Histology-proven non-pancreatic gastrointestinal NETs.
  • Disease progression under SSAs (SSAs-resistant disease). Disease progression must be documented with at least one of the following:
  • Radiological disease progression (according to RECIST 1.1) on an MRI or CT over the last 12 months.
  • Disease progression on a somatostatin receptor-imaging (PET/CT or SPECT/CT) over the last 12 months (apparition of new lesion(s) or increase in the transaxial plane diameter of more than 30% on the same imaging modality).
  • There should be at least one target lesion. A target lesion should fulfill all the following criteria:
  • Uptake higher than the physiological liver uptake on the baseline 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT
  • Longest transaxial plane diameter ≥ 20mm measured on the CT or MRI;
  • Not previously irradiated.
  • Long-acting SSAs must be discontinued at least 4 weeks before the study treatment start date and, if needed, switched to short-acting analogues which must be stopped 48h before the treatment date.
  • Adequate renal function with GFR ≥ 50 mL/min/1.73m2 (evaluated by 51Cr-EDTA test).
  • Adequate bone marrow function with:
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL;
  • Neutrophil ≥ 1.5·109/L;
  • Platelet count ≥ 100·109/L.
  • Adequate liver function with:
  • Total Bilirubin ≤ 2xULN;
  • Transaminases (AST and ALT) ≤ 5xULN;
  • Serum albumin \> 3.0 g/dL with normal prothrombin time (\>70%) unless for patients under coumarin anticoagulation therapy.
  • ECOG Performance Status ≤ 1.
  • Women of childbearing potential and men with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective form of contraception for the duration of study participation and up to six months after the end of the treatment. A pregnancy test (serum) must be performed within 2 weeks prior to inclusion for every female patient of childbearing potential and it must be negative.
  • Patient's written informed consent obtained prior to any study specific procedure.
  • All necessary baseline procedures should be performed within 2 weeks prior to randomization date.

Exclusion

  • Resectable tumor with curative intent.
  • Any major surgery within the last 6 weeks prior to inclusion in the study.
  • Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, embolization, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)-inhibitors, receptor tyrosine-kinase inhibitors or other investigational therapy within 12 weeks prior to inclusion in the study.
  • Previous PRRT or MIBG treatment.
  • Treatment with interferon 12 months prior to inclusion in the study.
  • Presence of non-benign 18FDG-positive lesions (higher than 2 x normal liver (or thoracic aorta uptake -SUVmax- in case of liver involvement)) without significant 68Ga-DOTATATE uptake.
  • Uncontrolled congestive heart failure (NYHA stade ≥ 2).
  • Diffuse bone marrow infiltration on the baseline 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT confirmed by MRI.
  • Prior external beam radiotherapy on kidneys or on more than 25% of bone marrow.
  • Patients with known uncontrolled brain metastases.
  • History of other active malignant disease or clinical remission less than 5 years (except in case of non melanoma skin cancer or in situ cervical carcinoma).
  • Known autoimmune hepatitis.
  • Patients after organ transplantation under immunosuppressive therapy.
  • Patients with a significant medical, neuro-psychiatric, or surgical condition, currently uncontrolled by treatment, which, in the investigator's opinion, may interfere with completion of the study.
  • Hypersensitivity to interferon α-2b or to any component of the product.
  • Pregnant or lactating patients.
