- Detailed Description
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 according to WHO 2017 classification, (histological grade G1, G2), in selected cases patients with high proliferation index (Ki-67\> 20%, usually below 55%), NETG3 - pancreatic, midgut neuroendocrine tumors and carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP). All with overexpression of somatostatin receptor (SSTR positive) based on somatostin receptor scintigraphy (SRS), will be enrolled in this study.
* evaluate the safety and tolerability of combination therapy using 177Lu-DOTATOC and CAPTEM.
* evaluate the health related quality of life (QoL) as measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-G.I.NET21 questionnaire.
* evaluate internal dosimetry, in a subset up to 20 patients, but at least 10 patients.
* explore the correlation of clinical efficacy outcomes with Somatostatin Receptor Scintigraphy (SRS) using 99mTc HYNICTOC (Tektordyt®) tumour uptake score.
* explore the correlation of clinical efficacy outcomes with the levels of some specific and non-specific biomarkers and gene transcripts analysis.
* compare the Time to Tumour Progression (TTP).
The schedule of treatment will include 4 courses; capecitabine (CAP), which will be administrated for 14 days with 8-week breaks, combined at 10th day with 177Lu-DOTATOC (PRRT - Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy) in doses from 5,55GBq up to 7,4 GBq administered i.v. up to four times in every patient during whole therapy.
In selected patients, in those with only liver involvement or dominant liver bulky disease third and fourth administration of PRRT will be used intra-arterial administration (i.a.) via hepatic artery. The administered dose will be from 2.85 GBq up to 3.7GBq, up to two times per whole therapy, followed in each case of i.v. or i.a. PRRT by Temozolomide (TEM) p.o. administration, which will be given during 10-14th days in each therapy sessions.
Doses of PRRT could be modified due to clinical stage and laboratory parameters. Treatment will be discontinued in the case of a cumulative dose 29,6 GBq, corresponding to the radiation dose on the bone marrow below 2 Gy and cumulative dose on kidney below 23 Gy. In case of radiation dose on kidney above 23 Gy treatment will be interrupted.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method PFS - Progression Free Survival 3 years 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.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Hormonal overproduction symptoms - assessment of clinical criteria 5 years Hormonal response based on relief of symptoms of hormonal overproduction, which will be compare to clinical symptoms before PRRT, during and after PRRT during clinical follow-up. The presence of specific symptoms with hormone overproduction including: 1. Carcinoid syndrome (CS) - initial intensity of diarrhea and potential relief after PRRT (number per day), initial intensity of flushing and potential relief after PRRT (number per day). 2. Presence of heartburn in case of NET with ZES (Zollinger-Elisson syndrome) initial intensity and potential relief during PRRT and after finished PRRT during clinical follow-up. 3. Presence of hypoglycemia in case of NET with insulin overproduction (insulinoma), initial intensity of hypoglycemia before PRRT and potential relief after PRRT during clinical follow-up. The measurement will be made in a set of the qualitative data as improvement, stabilization or disease progression.
ORR - Objective Response Rate - evaluation criteria 5 years The evaluation of objective response will be utilized by multiphase structural imaging before and after i.v. contrast enhancement (CT or MRI). The radiological response will be based on RECIST 1.0 using standard terminology of objective response, performed before start of PRRT and then after 6+2 weeks after last PRRT therapy followed by 6 months intervals during first 3 years of follow-up, after that annually. The measurement will be made in a set of quantitative data as partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) or disease progression (DP).
OS - Overall Survival (time months) 5 years Overall survival is defined as the time from the date of the start therapy to the date of death due to any cause or the date of last contact (censored observation) at the date of data cut-off. The measurement of OS will be calculated in months.
Cancer Related Symptoms - assessment of clinical criteria 5 years Clinical response based on potential relief in the initial phase before PRRT during and after PRRT. Items will be assessed, including: appetite, malaise, pain associated with the disease, nausea, vomiting, fever, wheezing and abdominal pain or any other symptoms of advanced cancer. All of the above will be assessed as yes / no. Intensity will be recorded in the quality assessment. It will be evaluated before treatment, before each treatment cycle, and then 6 weeks after the end of therapy, and then at three-month intervals. The measurement will be made in the qualitative data set and categorized as improvement, stabilization or disease progression.
