Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a non-randomized, phase II, open label study. The purpose of this study is to estimate Progression Free Survival (PFS) after treatment with Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) 177Lu-DOTATOC standard dose (up to 4x7,4GBq 177Lu DOTATOC) in combination with capecitabine (CAP) and temozolomide (TEM) - CAPTEM. Patients with advanced, non-resectable and/or progressive gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, GEP-NET, (G1, G2), in selected cases with high proliferation index (Ki-67\> 20%, usually below 55%), NETG3, with overexpression of somatostatin receptor (SSTR positive) will be enrolled in the study.

- PFS - Progression Free Survival
- timeFrame
- 3 years
- description
- the time from the start of treatment date to the date of first observation of documented local recurrence, metastases or disease progression. Patients without progression at the time of analysis will be censored. The median PFS will be estimated. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. CT or MRI tumour assessment will be used to response evaluation. CT/MRI tumour assessment will be performed before start of PRRT and then after 6+2 weeks after last PRRT session followed by 6 months intervals during first 3 years of follow-up, after that annually. The measurement of PFS will be calculated in months.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults ≥18 years old, male or female; * All patients with histologically proven, well/moderate-differentiated G1/2 GEP-NET (according to WHO 2017 classification), with Ki-67 ≤20%, in selected cases patients with NETG3 will be included if there will be reported well/moderate morphological appearance but Ki-67\>20% but less then Ki\<30% (pancreatic, midgut NET and cancer with unknown primary (CUP)); and there will be high expression of somatostatin receptor seen in functional imaging utilized functional imaging 99mTc HYNICTOC or 68Ga DOTATATE or 68Ga DOTATOC; * The presence of high expression of somatostatin receptors demonstrated on Somatostatin Receptor Imaging using 99mTc HYNICTOC (SPECT) or 68Ga DOTATATE or 68Ga DOTATOC (PET) scans, et least as uptake in not involved liver, Krenning \>2; * Non-resectable, advanced determined by an appropriately specialized surgeon or deemed not suitable for liver directed therapies where liver is the only site of disease; * Performance status (PS) based on ECOG 0-2; * Unresectable, advanced/metastatic progressive disease evaluated as clinical, biochemical, bad control symptoms of tumour hypersecretion or disease progression seen in imaging structural or functional; * Parameteres of laboratory test: 1. Morphology: Hb\>10g/dl, PLT\>75x103/ml, WBC\> 2x103 /ml with ACN\> 1.5x103/ml 2. Adequate renal function (GFR\>30 ml/min)\*, creatinine \<1.5 mg/dl 3. Adequate liver function (Bilirubin \<1.8 mg/dl, ALAT and ASPAT, AP \<5 ULN (ULN - upper limit of normal) \* The patient may be qualificated to supportive treatment if the patient's condition is stable. * Life expectancy of at least 6 months; * The tumor parameters that can be measured objectively as the size to be assessed in radiological studies on the basis of the RECIST 1.0 and RECIST 1.1; * In the absence of the ability to measure tumor size based on RECIST criteria, they have tumor parameters that can be measured objectively as tumor markers determined in the blood or urine CgA, 5HIAA; * Study treatment both planned and able to start within 28 days of inclusion; * Willing and able to comply with all study requirements, including treatment, timing and/or nature of required assessments; * Signed, written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients \<18 years old; * Coexistence of another cancer during recent 5 years, except cancers treated with curative intention and confirmed cured in follow-up with no or low risk of relapse; * Allergy on somatostatin receptor analogues or capecitabine and temozolomide; * Previous cytotoxic chemotherapy e.g. CAPTEM, and/or radiopeptide therapy PRRT; * Pre-existing locoregional treatment such as radiomebolization (SIRspheres) or HDR brachytherapy under CT control, performed in the last 6 months; * Uncontrolled metastases to the central nervous system, in the case of surgical and/or radiotherapeutic treatment, patients should remain on a stable dose of steroids for at least 2 weeks before enrollment, without deterioration of the general state associated with the presence of metastatic disease in the CNS; * Poorly controlled concurrent medical illness.

Women of childbearing age are defined as menopausal if they remain not menstrual for at least 1 year, or surgical sterilization or removal of the uterus before the start of the study; * Breast-feeding female patients; * Patients in a mental state who can't understand the nature, extent and possible consequences of participating in the study associated with radioisotope treatment, or there is evidence of a lack of cooperation by the patient; * Exclusive clinical and laboratory findings that may compromise the patient's safety or reduce the chances of obtaining satisfactory data to achieve the goal (s) of the study; * Presence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule, including alcohol dependence or drug abuse; * The patient may be included in the maintenance treatment if the patient's clinical condition is stable.
