简要总结
The objective is to investigate the impact of intra-arterial administration of 177Lu-dotatate on the intrahepatic biodistribution in patients with NET liver metastases. Our primary objective is to evaluate if there is a difference in post-treatment tumor-to-non-tumor (T/N) activity concentration ratio on SPECT/CT between the intra-arterial treated liver lobe and the intravenous treated liver lobe.
详细描述
Rationale: The majority of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) patients present with metastases, most often including liver metastases. These patients have a poorer prognosis and lower quality of life.
Currently, intravenous administered somatostatin-bound radionuclides (177Lu-dotatate) have shown to improve tumor response rates and progression free survival (PFS). Despite of the increased tumor response rate and PFS, liver metastases still remain the major cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. Patients with liver metastases have a worse outcome in terms of overall survival after treatment with 177Lu-dotatate compared to patients with limited or no liver metastases.
Objective: to investigate the impact of intra-arterial (IA) administration of 177Lu-dotatate on the intrahepatic biodistribution in patients with NET liver metastases. Our primary objective is to evaluate if there is a difference in post-treatment tumor-to-non-tumor (T/N) activity concentration ratio on SPECT/CT between the intra-arterial treated liver lobe and the intravenous treated liver lobe.
Study design: Multicenter, interventional, block randomized, phase 2 clinical trial. We use a within-subject controlled design where the administration of 177Lu-dotatate is randomized between the right or left hepatic artery. Selective IA administration of 177Lu-dotatate allows for intra-patient comparison between IA administration (one lobe) versus IV 'administration' (the other lobe). The contralateral liver lobe and the rest of the body receive treatment by second pass IV route.
Study population: 26 patients with NET liver metastases (> 18 years old). Intervention: Treatment will be randomized between selective right or left hepatic artery administration of 177Lu-dotatate (Four administrations of 7.4 GBq; each via the same randomly allocated hepatic artery during angiography).

研究组 & 干预措施
Intra-arterially treated liver lobe
Depending on the allocation after randomization, Lu-177-dotatate will be infused in either the left or the right hepatic artery, following catheterization using the Seldinger-technique.
干预措施: Lutetium Lu 177-DOTATATE (Drug)
'Intravenously' treated liver lobe
The lobe that is not treated intra-arterially, will act as the intravenously treated lobe, due to the first-pass effect.

结局指标
主要结局
The difference in post-treatment tumor-to-non-tumor (T/N) activity concentration ratio on SPECT/CT between the intra-arterial treated liver lobe and the intravenous treated liver lobe.
时间窗: 24 hours
To assess if there is a difference in post-treatment tumor-to-non-tumor (T/N) activity concentration ratio on SPECT/CT between the intra-arterial treated liver lobe and the intravenous treated liver lobe. The T/N activity concentration will be measured on SPECT/CT. The primary endpoint will be assessed after the first treatment cycle. For each liver lobe up to three tumors (i.e. all \>3 cm) will be selected based on size (i.e. the largest lesions without central necrosis). The weighted average activity per voxel of these lesions will be divided by the normal liver tissue mean activity per voxel (i.e. a VOI with 3 cm diameter will be placed in the normal liver tissue) to calculate the T/N ratio. The T/N activity ratios of the second, third, and final treatment cycle will be assessed as secondary endpoint. Intra- and inter-patient differences will be studied.
次要结局
- The difference in post-treatment tumor response between the intra-arterial treated liver lobe and the intravenous treated liver lobe(3 and 6 months)
- The dose-response relation between tumor absorbed dose and post-treatment tumor response(3 and 6 months)
- Sufficient uptake of 177Lu-dotatate in extrahepatic lesions(24 hours)
- The difference in absolute values of mean tumor and healthy liver absorbed dose on post-treatment SPECT/CT between the intra-arterial treated liver lobe and the intravenous treated liver lobe(24 hours)
- Toxicity and how toxicity is compared to historical controls(6 months)
- Sufficient uptake of 177Lu-dotatate in the contralateral lobe, compared to historical controls(24 hours)
- The difference in kidney uptake of 177Lu-dotatate between the IA treated patients and historical controls(24 hours)
