Summary

This trial is a prospective, single arm, open label study of Lu-DOTA-TATE in patients with well-differentiated, somatostatin receptor positive neuroendocrine tumours.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with neuroendocrine tumors, aged 14-90, who have a life expectancy of more than 12 weeks and are physically able to perform daily activities (ECOG ≤2). They must have somatostatin receptor positive tumors confirmed by imaging and meet specific blood test criteria. Those previously treated with Lu-DOTA-TATE or having certain medical conditions are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
[177]Lu-DOTA-TATE therapy is being tested for its effectiveness in treating neuroendocrine tumors and its impact on patients' quality of life and survival. The study will also evaluate the safety of this treatment which has been used under special access but now requires clinical trial assessment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the injection site, nausea, fatigue, bone marrow suppression leading to low blood cell counts, kidney damage, liver toxicity, hormonal imbalances and potentially others not listed here.
