177Lutethium - Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (Lu-PRRT) Plus Capecitabine Versus Lu-PRRT in FDG Positive, Gastro-entero-pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Histopathologic diagnosis of gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, well differentiated G1 - G2 (ki67≤20%) and G3 (ki67≤50%)
2. Male or Female, aged \>18 years
3. Measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1 criteria

Patients with documented disease will be admitted to therapeutic phase only if the diagnostic receptor imaging, OctreoScan, with a significant uptake in the tumor (grade 2 or 3, according to Rotterdam scale) and/or PET/CT 68Gallium (68Ga)-peptide images with a tumor uptake at least equal to liver background
5. Patients with documented disease will be admitted to therapeutic phase only if the 18FDG PET/CT is positive with a standardized uptake value (SUV) \> 2.5 at least in one documented lesion.
6. Non operable advanced disease
7. Documented progression after standard therapy such as long acting octreotide or lanreotide (SS-LAR), Everolimus in P-NETs or platinum based therapy in G3 patients.
8. Patients have to finish prior standard chemotherapy or therapeutical radiotherapy (less then 25% body surface) at least 6 weeks
9. Life expectancy greater than 6 months.
10. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2
11. Adequate haematological, liver and renal function: haemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L, platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L, total bilirubin ≤ 2.5 X upper normal limit (UNL) , Alanine transaminase (ALT) \<2.5 X UNL (\< 5 X UNL in presence of liver metastases), creatinine \< 2 mg/dL.
12. Concomitant SS-sub-cutaneous assumption is allowed in case of carcinoid syndrome
13. If female of childbearing potential highly effective birth control methods, according to guideline "Recommendation related to contraception and pregnancy testing in clinical trials", (2014\_09\_15 section 4.1) (See Appendix H) are mandatory. Highly effective birth control methods are required beginning at the screening visit and continuing until 6 months following last treatment with study drug. Negative serum pregnancy test for females of childbearing potential within 14 days of starting treatment. Male patient and his female partner who is of childbearing potential must use 2 acceptable methods of birth control (1 of which must include a condom as a barrier method of contraception) starting at screening and continuing throughout the study period and for 6 months after final study drug administration. Two acceptable methods of birth control thus include Condom (barrier method of contraception) and one of the following is required (established use of oral, or injected or implanted hormonal method of contraception by the female partner; placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) by the female partner; additional barrier method like occlusive cap with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository in the female partner; tubal ligation in the female partner; vasectomy or other procedure resulting in infertility (eg, bilateral orchiectomy), for more than 6 months.
14. Participant is willing and able to give informed consent for participation in the study.
15. Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as \>20 mm with conventional techniques or as \>10 mm with spiral CT scan.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Ki 67 index \> 50%
2. FDG PET negative
3. Patients treated with chemotherapy and therapeutic radiotherapy within 6 weeks
4. More then 25% body surface radiotherapy
5. Patients treated with previous radiometabolic therapy with an adsorbed dose to the kidney more than 23 Gy and 1,2 Gy for the bone marrow or as surrogate of dosimetry, a Total Cumulative Activity (TCA) of \>250 millicurie (mCi) of 90Y dotatoc or \>800 (mCi) of 177Lutethium (177Lu) dotatate
6. All acute toxic effects of any prior therapy (including surgery radiation therapy, chemotherapy) must have resolved to a grade ≤ 1 according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0 (CTCAE)
7. Life expectancy minor than 6 months.
8. ECOG performance status \>2
9. Participation in another clinical trial with any investigational agents within 30 days prior to study screening.
10. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
11. History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition
12. Known dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency.
13. Known hypersensitivity to Octreotide and/or Lanreotide, and/or somatostatin correlate peptides
14. Known hypersensitivity to capecitabine or to any of its components
15. Known hypersensitivity to 5 - fluorouracil.
16. Other known malignant neoplastic diseases in the patient's medical history with a disease-free interval of less than 5 years (except for previously treated basal cell carcinoma and in situ carcinoma of the uterine cervix);
