Study Summary
This trial compares a radioactive drug linked to a peptide receptor with a drug that stops cancer cells from reproducing to treat neuroendocrine tumors.
Who is the study for?
Adults with metastatic, well-differentiated midgut neuroendocrine tumors previously treated with PRRT and showing progression can join. They must have good organ function, no severe ongoing side effects from prior treatments, and an ECOG performance status of <=2. Women of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial compares retreatment using a radioactive peptide (177Lu-DOTATATE PRRT) against the usual treatment with everolimus in patients whose midgut NET has spread and cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see which method better controls tumor growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include radiation-related risks like bone marrow suppression, kidney damage from 177Lu-DOTATATE; everolimus may cause mouth sores, infections due to immune suppression, lung problems, delayed wound healing.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm I (177Lu-DOTATATE)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
Patients receive 177Lu-DOTATATE IV Q8W. Treatment repeats for two cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicities. Patients also undergo CT scan and collection of blood samples while on study.
Group II: Arm II (everolimus)Active Control5 Interventions
Patients receive everolimus PO QD. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicities. Patients whose cancer worsens may cross over to ARM I. Patients also undergo CT scan and collection of blood samples while on study.

Frequently Asked Questions
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.
What is the scope of participation in this research endeavor?
"Yes, according to the information on clinicaltrials.gov this is an ongoing medical trial which was first advertised on June 5th 2023 and last updated two weeks later. The research team seeks 100 participants at a single site."
Answered by AI
Are there any detrimental effects to Arm I (177Lu-DOTATATE) for patients?
"With some available evidence of safety, our team at Power assigned Arm I (177Lu-DOTATATE) a rating of 2 on the 1 to 3 scale. The lack of efficacy data indicates that this is still in its Phase 2 trial phase."
Answered by AI
Are there opportunities for enrolment in this research endeavor?
"Affirmative. According to the clinicaltrials.gov page, this research study is actively recruiting participants. It was first posted on June 5th 2023 and has been recently updated on June 23rd 2023; it seeks 100 volunteers from a single medical facility."
