Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Lutathera in Patients With Grade 2 and Grade 3 Advanced GEP-NET
brief summary
The aim of NETTER-2 was to determine if Lutathera in combination with long-acting octreotide prolongs progression free survival (PFS) in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (GEP-NET) patients with high proliferation rate tumors (G2 and G3), when given as a first line treatment compared to treatment with high dose (60 mg) long-acting octreotide. Somatostatin analog (SSA) naive patients were eligible, as well as patients previously treated with SSAs in the absence of progression.
detailed description
The study consisted of a screening phase, a treatment phase, an optional cross-over phase for subjects assigned to the control arm, optional re-treatment phase for subjects assigned to the Lutathera arm, and a follow-up phase. This study compared treatment with Lutathera (7.4 GBq/200 mCi 4 × administrations every 8 weeks ± 1 week; cumulative dose: 29.6 GBq/800mCi) plus octreotide long-acting release (LAR) (30 mg every 8 weeks during Lutathera treatment and every 4 weeks after last Lutathera treatment) and high dose octreotide LAR (60 mg every 4 weeks).
