P-PRRT Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new way to give a cancer treatment called peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). In this new way, the amount of PRRT given to each person will be different and personalized, based on how their body is expected to absorb the therapy. The goal is to maximize the amount of PRRT that gets to the tumor, while minimizing the amount that gets to healthy organs.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with neuroendocrine tumors showing high levels of a specific receptor, who can't have or don't want surgery and haven't had success with other treatments. It's not for those with very short life expectancy, severe illness (ECOG 4), or pregnant/breastfeeding individuals.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests personalized doses of a radioactive drug called LuTate to treat neuroendocrine tumors effectively while minimizing harm to healthy organs. The goal is to improve survival rates and understand the relationship between radiation dose received by the tumor and patient outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include acute reactions like nausea, chronic conditions from radiation exposure to healthy tissues, and potential subacute effects that may appear after treatment. Severity will be monitored in relation to the radiation dose absorbed by organs.

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Personalized PRRT (P-PRRT)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
177Lu-Octreotate (LuTate) P-PRRT will be administered as follows: Renal absorbed radiation dose will be prescribed for the 4-cycle induction course (23 Gy) and for each subsequent cycle (6 Gy), with a reduction in cases of impaired renal or bone marrow function, or significant toxicity from prior cycles. The personalized activity to be administered at each cycle will be derived from renal dose per unit of injected activity that is predicted by patient characteristics or renal dose delivered during prior cycle(s). Participants responding to the induction course of P-PRRT will be eligible to receive additional consolidation and/or maintenance cycles. Participants with prior PRRT exposure outside the trial may receive less induction cycles, or only consolidation/maintenance cycle(s).
