Clinical Trial Summary

This study is to assess if personalized peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-DOTATOC results in fewer adverse events than standard PRRT. Subjects will be randomized to either receive personalized or standard PRRT. Personalized PRRT will be determined based on dosimetry calculations after the first cycle. In addition comparisons, will be made with progression-free survival, serial CT imaging, ctDNA, and quality of life questionnaires. Subjects will be followed for 5 years or until they have progression and are switched to another systemic treatment (not including treatment with somatostatin analogues).

Description:

Overall, 200 subjects will be randomized (1:1 randomization ratio) to receive standard injected activities of 177Lu-DOTATOC PRRT or personalized injection of 177Lu-DOTATOC PRRT. Randomization will be stratified for grade and primary location.

Screening Phase: Subjects will be screened against the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Screening by SSR imaging will be completed to determine expression of SSR and feasibility of treatment by PRRT. Once eligibility has been confirmed they will be randomized. Subjects will undergo a physical exam, complete a medical history questionnaire, quality of life questionnaires, blood work, and a diagnostic CT.

Treatment Phase: During the treatment phase, subjects will undergo 4 cycles of treatment. Each treatment cycle will be followed by 2 dosimetry SPECT/CT scans on day 1 (18 - 32 hours after treatment administration) and day 2 (64 - 80h after treatment administration) After cycle 3 quality of life questionnaires will be completed again.

Follow up Phase: At the end of treatment or after discontinuation of any cause, subjects will be followed for 5 years to continue data collection for the other objectives. Objective tumour response will be assessed every 6 months by diagnostic CT according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria.

• Positive PET SSR imaging (Krenning score 2 or higher) in previous 6 months (68Ga-DOTATOC, 68Ga-DOTATATE, 18F-AmBF3-TATE). If PET SSR imaging is not available 111In-penetreotide scintigraphy (Octreotide scan) is acceptable.

• Adequate laboratory parameters within two weeks of enrollment

• Kidneys

• Serum creatinine = 150 µmol/L

• GFR = 40 ml/min (using plasma clearance values)

• Marrow

• WBC = 2 x 109/L

• Platelets = 75 x 109/L

• Liver

• Total bilirubin = 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN)

• ALT = 3 x ULN or = 5 x ULN if liver metastasis

• Alkaline phosphatase = 3 x ULN or = 5 x ULN if liver metastasis

• Subject's ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, imaging tests, and other procedures required as detailed in the protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Women and men of childbearing potential Procreation

• Women: pregnancy test done before enrollment before each treatment cycle. And subject must use adequate contraception for the duration of therapy, be surgically sterile, or post-menopausal.

• Men: must be surgically sterile or use adequate contraception for the duration of the therapy.

• Patient with another non-cutaneous (excluding melanoma) active cancer requiring therapeutic intervention.

• Curative medical or surgical treatment, local liver embolization, or debulking are appropriate options.

• Life expectancy is less than 12 weeks.

• Radiotherapy to target lesions = 12 weeks ago or to more than 25% of bone marrow.

• PRRT at any time prior to randomization in this study.

• Systemic therapy (chemotherapy) within 4 weeks of PRRT and other locoregional therapies (radioisotope, embolization) within 12 weeks prior to enrollment. Ongoing use of somatostatin analogs for control of symptoms is allowed.

• Known brain metastases (unless treated and stable for more than 3 months).

• Co-morbidities that could, in the opinion of the PI, interfere with safe delivery of PRRT (like urinary incontinence, psychiatric illness), uncontrolled congestive heart failure (NYHA II, III, IV)
