About this study

Official title: A Study Comparing Treatment With Lutetium[177Lu] Oxodotreotide Injection to Octreotide LAR in Patients With Inoperable, Progressive, Well Differentiated, Somatostatin Receptor Positive Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours

This was a multicenter, stratified, open, randomized, comparator-controlled, parallel-group phase III study comparing treatment with Lutetium[177Lu] Oxodotreotide Injection to high dose (60 mg) Octreotide LAR in patients with unresectable or metastatic, progressive, well differentiated (G1 and G2), somatostatin receptor positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours.

Read the detailed description

After the screening period, participants who signed the ICF and were eligible for the study in accordance with the entry criteria were randomly assigned to treatment either Lutetium[177Lu] Oxodotreotide Injection or Octreotide LAR. Participant randomization was performed according to a centralized permuted block randomization scheme with a balanced ratio (1:1) between the 2 treatment groups, stratified by primary site of tumor (pancreatic or non-pancreatic), NET pathological grading (G1 or G2) and by the length of time that a participant was on a constant dose of Octreotide (=< 6 versus > 6 months). Objective tumor assessment in both groups was performed every 12+/-1 weeks from the randomization date according to RECIST Criteria until progression was centrally confirmed: any participants with progressive disease ceased the treatment/assessment period and proceeded to the long-term follow-up period for evaluation of survival and long-term safety.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) assessed by BIRC

    Progression Free Survival (PFS) was defined as the time from randomization to documented centrally assessed disease progression, as evaluated by the Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC), or death due to any cause. If a participant had no centrally assessed progression and had not died at the time of the primary endpoint analysis, the participant was regarded as censored in the context of a time to event analysis at the date of last evaluable tumor assessment. Disease progression was determined by objective tumor response status using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1).

    Measured: From date of randomization until date of radiographic progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first until Primary Analysis cutoff date reached,assessed up to approximately 34 months

  13. Change From Baseline in the EORTC QLQ-C30 Questionnaire

    The Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (QLQ-C30) was developed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) to assess quality of life in cancer patients. It includes five function domains (physical, emotional, social, role, cognitive), eight symptoms (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, insomnia, dyspnea, and appetite loss), as well as global health/quality-of-life and financial impact. Subjects respond on a four-point scale from "not at all" to "very much" for most items. Raw scores are linearly transformed so each score ranged a 0-100, where higher scores indicate worse symptoms (e.g., more severe/worsened) and lower scores indicate less symptoms (e.g., less severe/improvement).

    Measured: From date of randomization until date of radiographic progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first until Primary Analysis cutoff date reached,assessed up to approximately 34 months

  14. Change From Baseline in the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire - Neuroendocrine Carcinoid Module (EORTC QLQ-GINET21)

    The Quality of Life GI Neuroendocrine Tumor survey (QLQ GINET21) contains a total of 21 items: four single-item assessments relating to muscle and/or bone pain (MBP), body image (BI), information (INF) and sexual functioning (SX), together with 17 items organized into five proposed scales: endocrine symptoms (ED; three items), GI symptoms (GI; five items), treatment-related symptoms (TR; three items), social functioning (SF) and disease-related worries (DRW; three items). The response format of the questionnaire is a four-point Likert scale. Responses are linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale using EORTC guidelines, with higher scores reflecting more severe symptoms.

    Measured: From date of randomization until date of radiographic progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first until Primary Analysis cutoff date reached,assessed up to approximately 34 months

  15. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    The distribution of adverse events was done via the analysis of frequencies for Adverse Event (AEs), Serious Adverse Event (SAEs) and Deaths, through the monitoring of relevant clinical and laboratory safety parameters.

    Measured: From informed consent signature through study completion reached at final safety cutoff date,assessed up to approximately 60 months

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 9 inclusion and 26 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 5 Sep 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites in China. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Progression Free Survival (PFS) assessed by BIRC (time frame: From date of randomization until date of radiographic progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first until Primary Analysis cutoff date reached,assessed up to approximately 34 months). 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 NCT05459844, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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?
