Efficacy and Safety of 177Lu-edotreotide PRRT in GEP-NET Patients

A Prospective, Randomised, Controlled, Open-label, Multicentre Phase III Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) With 177Lu-Edotreotide Compared to Targeted Molecular Therapy With Everolimus in Patients With Inoperable, Progressive, Somatostatin Receptor-positive (SSTR+), Neuroendocrine Tumours of Gastroenteric or Pancreatic Origin (GEP-NET)

Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-Edotreotide compared to targeted molecular therapy with Everolimus in patients with inoperable, progressive, somatostatin receptor-positive (SSTR+), neuroendocrine tumours of gastroenteric or pancreatic origin (GEP-NET).

Interventions

DRUG177Lu-edotreotide PRRT

PRRT using 177Lu-edotreotide will be performed 3-monthly. A maximum of four cycles will be administered.

DRUGEverolimus

Everolimus will be administered as a standard dosis of 10 mg daily which may be reduced where required for acceptable tolerability.

The Amino-Acid Solution (AAS) to be used in this study will contain a mixture of 25 g lysine and 25 g arginine diluted in 2000 mL of electrolyte solution, infused over 4 - 6 h, starting 30 - 60 min before PRRT

Inclusion criteria

* Histologically confirmed diagnosis of well-differentiated neuro-endocrine tumour of non-functional gastroenteric origin (GE-NET) or both functional or non-functional pancreatic origin (P-NET) * Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 * Somatostatin receptor positive (SSTR+) disease * Progressive disease based on RECIST 1.1. criteria as evidenced by two morphological imaging examinations made with the same imaging method (either CT or MRI)

Exclusion criteria

* Known hypersensitivity to edotreotide or everolimus * Known hypersensitivity to DOTA, lutetium-177, or any excipient of edotreotide or everolimus or any other Rapamycin derivative * Prior exposure to any peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) * Prior therapy with mTor inhibitors * Prior EFR (external field radiation) to GEP-NET lesions within 90 days before randomisation or radioembolisation therapy * Therapy with an investigational compound and/or medical device within 30 days prior to randomisation * Indication for surgical lesion removal with curative potential * Planned alternative therapy (for the period of study participation) * Serious non-malignant disease * Clinically relevant renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, or haematological organ dysfunction, potentially interfering with the safety of the study treatments * Pregnant or breast-feeding women * Subjects not able to declare meaningful informed consent on their own (e.g. with legal guardian for mental disorders) or any other vulnerable population to that sense (e.g. persons institutionalised, incarcerated etc.).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or death, assessed up to 30 months,PFS determined as time elapsed between randomization, and the date of first objective report of tumor progression (evaluated by RECIST criteria v1.1) as evaluated by the Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR), or death.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective Response Rate (ORR)Up to 30 monthsORR will be assessed, defined as the proportion of participants achieving partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) as best outcome, after treatment with 177Lu-edotreotide compared to everolimus.
Overall Survival (OS)Overall Survival (OS) will be followed up for 5 years (60 months) after the End of Study (EOS)From the date of randomisation until the date of death up to the up to the end of the 5 year post-study follow-up.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

The study was conducted in 14 countries. Of the 52 sites that screened at least one participant, 49 sites randomized at least one participant. A total of 324 participants were enrolled in the study. Of these, 309 (95.4%) were randomized in a 2:1 fashion to the 177Lu-edotreotide arm or the control arm. Of the 309 randomized participants, 7 did not receive treatment.

Pre-assignment details

The COMPETE protocol included Sub-Study C, to evaluate PK urine analysis and bone marrow dosimetry for 177Lu-edotreotide. Sub-Study C enrolled participants from the 177Lu-edotreotide arm of the COMPETE study and a non-randomized cohort. All participants in Sub-Study C received 177Lu-edotreotide.
