About this study

Official title: Personalized Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy of Neuroendocrine Tumors: A Phase 2 Study

In this study, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-Octreotate (LuTate) will be personalized, i.e. administered activity of LuTate will be tailored for each patient to maximize absorbed radiation dose to tumor, while limiting that to healthy organs.

The purpose of this study is to:

Read more
  • Assess the objective (radiological), symptomatic and biochemical response rates following an induction course of personalized PRRT;
  • Assess the overall, the disease-specific, and the progression-free survival following P-PRRT;
  • Correlate therapeutic response and survival with tumor absorbed radiation dose;
  • Evaluate the acute, subacute and chronic adverse events following P-PRRT;
  • Correlate toxicity (i.e. occurence and severity of adverse events) with absorbed radiation doses to organs at risk;
  • Optimize the quantitative SPECT imaging-based dosimetry methods in a subset of 20 patients (sub-study funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research).

This study also has a compassionate purpose, which is to provide access to PRRT to patients.

Read the detailed description

A prospective, single-center, non-comparative, open phase 2 study. In this study, personalized peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (P-PRRT) with 177Lu-Octreotate (LuTate) will be administered to patients with progressive and/or symptomatic inoperable neuroendocrine tumors (NET) of any origin expressing the somatostatin receptor.

The primary objective to assess the objective response rate at 3 months following a four-cycle induction course of P-PRRT will be assessed for at least the first 85 participants.

This study as a compassionate aim to provide access to personalized PRRT patients at CHU de Québec - Université Laval center, and therefore this study has no pre-determined recruitment period duration or limited number of participants, and may remain open as long as necessary to fulfill this aim.

The study will continue until all participants have completed a minimum follow-up of 5 years. Interim analyses will be conducted annually.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 177Lu-OctreotateDrug

    Also called LuTate, 177Lu-[DOTA0,Tyr3]octreotate, 177Lu-DOTATATE

    • The induction course will consist in 4 cycles at 8-10 weeks intervals.
    • Concomitant amino acids will be administered for renal protection.
    • Intra-arterial LuTate administration will be allowed in suitable cases.
    • Dosimetry will be based on quantitative SPECT/CT imaging.
    • In patients with hormonal symptoms, somatostatine analogues can be given between P-PRRT cycles.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Personalized PRRT (P-PRRT)Experimental177Lu-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).
Receives: Drug: 177Lu-Octreotate

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Primary efficacy endpoint is the objective response rate on contrast-enhanced CT (or MRI) by RECIST criteria (and secondarily by South Western Oncology Group (SWOG) criteria) at 3 months after the 4th induction cycle of P-PRRT, in comparison to pre-treatment scan (within 3 months before commencing P-PRRT).

    Measured: 3 months after induction course

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Progression of disease is defined as the time from first cycle to the date of first documented progression of disease or death due to any cause. Progression of disease is defined by RECIST criteria.

    Measured: Time from first cycle to date of disease progression or death, reported up to 5 years after accrual closure

  2. Overall survival (OS)

    Measured: Time from first cycle to date of death, reported up to 5 years after accrual closure

  3. Symptomatic response rate

    Proportion of participants with improved, stable or worsened NET-related symptoms (frequency and severity), based on participant interviews at baseline and 3 months after completion of induction course.

    Measured: 3 months after induction course

  4. Quality of life response

    Proportion of participants with improved, stable or worsened quality of life score by EORTC quality of life questionnaires QLQ-C30 and QLQ-GI.NET21, administered at baseline and 3 months after induction course.

    Measured: 3 months after induction course

  5. Biochemical response

    Proportion of participants with improved (decreased by 25% or more), stable or worsened (increased by 25% or more) Chromogranin-A serum levels performed at baseline and 3 months after induction course.

    Measured: 3 months after induction course

  6. Safety determined by type, frequency and severity of adverse events per CTCAE version 4.03 and type, frequency and severity of laboratory toxicities per CTCAE version 4.03

    Measured: From the first treatment cycle administration until 5 years after accrual closure or death, whichever came first

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 177Lu-Octreotate in people with Neuroendocrine Tumors and Carcinoid Tumor, run by CHU de Quebec-Universite Laval at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2024. 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 Canada. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Objective response rate (ORR) (time frame: 3 months after induction course). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02754297, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Aug 2024.
