PRRT for Neuroendocrine Tumors
(COMPOSE Trial)
Trial Summary
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are on an investigational drug, you must stop it at least 30 days before joining the trial.
Research shows that a similar treatment, 177Lu-DOTATATE, is effective for neuroendocrine tumors that express somatostatin receptors, providing symptomatic and radiological improvements in patients with inoperable or metastatic tumors.
12345177Lu-Edotreotide PRRT is generally considered safe, but it can have side effects like potential toxicity to the kidneys, liver, and blood cells, and there is a risk of developing a second cancer. These side effects have been observed in studies, even though the treatment is effective for certain types of tumors.
12367177Lu-Edotreotide is a type of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) that uses a radioactive substance to target and bind to specific receptors on neuroendocrine tumor cells, delivering radiation directly to the tumor. This approach is unique because it combines a targeted delivery system with radiation therapy, potentially offering a more focused treatment with fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.
12489Eligibility Criteria
This trial is for adults with aggressive, well-differentiated GEP-NETs that can't be surgically removed and have shown up on scans. Participants must have tumors with somatostatin receptors but cannot join if they're pregnant, breastfeeding, hypersensitive to the drugs being tested, recently had major surgery or other cancer treatments, or have serious health issues affecting their organs.Inclusion Criteria
