New treatment option for Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor
Official title Study of PRRT in Metastatic, World Health Organization (WHO) Grade 1 or 2, SSTR Positive, GEP-NET Who Are Candidates for Cytoreductive Surgery
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04609592
What this study is testing
What is Lutathera?
Lutathera is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor.
Also referred to as lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, (Lu 177)-N-[(4,7,10-Tricarboxymethyl-1,4,7,10- tetraazacyclododec-1-yl) acetyl]-D-phenylalanyl-L-cysteinyl-L-tyrosyl-D-tryptophanyl-L-lysyl-L-threoninyl-Lcysteinyl-L-threonine-cyclic (2-7) disulfide..
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The purpose of this study is to learn about the feasibility and safety of using Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) before and after surgical removal of a tumor. PRRT treatment is based on the administration of a radioactive product, 177-Lu DOTA-0-Tyr3-Octreotate (Lutathera®) and its use before and after surgery is thought to increase the overall survival benefit for patients with SSTR-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors GEP-NETs.
