Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Lutathera in Patients With Grade 2 and Grade 3 Advanced GEP-NET

NCT03972488

Description:

The aim of NETTER-2 is to determine if Lutathera in combination with long-acting octreotide prolongs PFS in GEP-NET patients with high proliferation rate tumors (G2 and G3), when given as a first line treatment compared to treatment with high dose (60 mg) long-acting octreotide. Somatostatin analog (SSA) naive patients are eligible, as well as patients previously treated with SSAs in the absence of progression.

             becoming pregnant, are not allowed to participate in this study UNLESS they are using
             highly effective methods of contraception throughout the study and for 6 months after
             study drug discontinuation

          -  Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) at any time prior to randomization in the
             study.

             time prior to randomization

          -  Patients for whom in the opinion of the investigator other therapeutic options (eg
             chemo-, targeted therapy) are considered more appropriate than therapy offered in the
             study, based on patient and disease characteristics

          -  Any previous therapy with Interferons, Everolimus (mTOR-inhibitors), chemotherapy or
             other systemic therapies administered for more than 1 month and within 12 weeks prior
             to randomization in the study.

          -  Any previous radioembolization, chemoembolization and radiofrequency ablation

          -  Any surgery within 12 weeks prior to randomization in the study

          -  Known brain metastases, unless these metastases have been treated and stabilized for
             at least 24 weeks, prior to screening in the study. Patients with a history of brain

             randomization in the study.

          -  Uncontrolled congestive heart failure (NYHA II, III, IV). Patients with history of

             evaluation of their cardiac ejection fraction prior to randomization, preferably via
             gated equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography. The results from an earlier
             assessment (not exceeding 30 days prior to randomization) may substitute the
             evaluation at the discretion of the Investigator, if no clinical worsening is noted.
             The patient's measured cardiac ejection fraction in these patients must be ≥40% before
             randomization.

             interrupted for at least 6 weeks before the administration of Lutathera, unless the
             tumor uptake on target lesions observed by study-permitted somatostatin receptor
             imaging (SRI) modalities during continued long-acting SSA treatment is greater than
             the liver uptake observed by planar imaging.

          -  Patients with any other significant medical, psychiatric, or surgical condition,
             currently uncontrolled by treatment, which may interfere with the completion of the
             study.
