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.
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.
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.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
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.
