About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy for Metastatic Inoperable Neuroendocrine Tumors Using 177-Lu-DOTA 0, Tyr 3 Octreotate

Well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (WDNETs) are uncommon neoplasms with an increasing number of new cases reported in the annual statistics of the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología (INC). The majority are advanced-stage presentations with limited chances of a complete surgical resection of the primary tumor, a clinical scenario where medical treatment options are also limited. In view of the characteristically defined expression of peptide receptors in WDNETs, radioactive molecular probes to target specific cellular receptors have been designed using radioisotopes with short range of penetration in tissues. We have designed a one-arm phase II prospective sequential clinical trial to assess the therapeutic efficacy of 177-Lu-[DOTA 0, Tyr 3] octreotate (177-Lu- DOTATATE) applied intravenously in three separate doses to patients with inoperable progressive WDNET. Selected patients matching inclusion criteria will be enrolled at the INC's Section of Endocrinology. Tumor response, treatment safety (side effects) and survival will be appraised. Data from clinical, biochemical and imaging follow-up will be periodically registered during treatment and until two years after the last infusion of 177Lu- DOTATATE. This phase II trial is justified because despite the fact that many preclinical and clinical studies have showed the potential usefulness of this novel palliative approach to treat patients with advanced-stage WDNETs there is a paucity of vigorous results to establish its efficacy as first-line treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Response to treatment

    Response to palliative treatment with 177Lu- DOTATATE in patients with metastatic progressive low-grade neuroendocrine tumors defined by control size tumor, response time to reduction minimal parcial and complete tumor.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Efficacy defined by reduction in size tumoral

    Measure the efficacy of 177Lu- DOTATATE to treat patients with metastatic progressive low-grade neuroendocrine tumors using clinical and imaging criteria such as tumor size.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Side effects defined by clinical follow up

    Describe the side effects of the treatment with 177Lu- DOTATATE by clinical follow-up during and after therapy

    Measured: 5 years

  3. survival rate

    describe the 2-year survival rate of patients treated with 177Lu- DOTATATE

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Quality of life

    Assess the quality of life of patients with metastatic progressive low-grade neuroendocrine tumors treated with 177Lu- DOTATATE during treatment defined by pain reduction and tolerability.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing [177Lu] DOTA-TATE in people with Neuroendocrine Tumors, run by Instituto Nacional de Cancerologia, Columbia at 1 site in Colombia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Colombia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response to treatment (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Nov 2019.
