Study on the Effectiveness and Safety of [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE in Patients with Advanced Grade 1 and Grade 2 Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (GEP-NET)
Sponsor: Novartis Pharmaceuticals
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06784752
This clinical trial is testing a new treatment, [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE, combined with octreotide, to see if it is more effective and safe compared to octreotide alone in patients with advanced gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) that have a high disease burden.

Program Overview
The study aims to evaluate how well the combination of [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE and octreotide works compared to octreotide alone in treating patients with advanced gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). These tumors are well-differentiated and have a high disease burden. The study will include a screening phase, a treatment phase, and a follow-up phase to monitor the patients' progress and health.
Description
The study is divided into three phases: screening, treatment, and follow-up. During the screening phase, patients will be evaluated to ensure they meet the study criteria. In the treatment phase, patients will receive either the combination of [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE and octreotide or octreotide alone. The follow-up phase will involve regular check-ups to monitor the patients' health and the effectiveness of the treatment.
