Study to look at well-differentiated advanced Grade 2 and Grade 3 somatostatin receptor positive (SSTR+) neuroendocrine tumors of gastroenteric or pancreatic origin (G2 & G3 GEP-NETs)
Investigational treatment
Targeted Radionuclide Therapy with n.c.a. Lutetium-177-Edotreotide, consisting of the highly pure medical radioisotope, no-carrier-added (n.c.a.) Lutetium-177, used to destroy tumor cells, and the molecule Edotreotide, which targets neuroendocrine tumor-specific receptors and delivers the medical radioisotope to the tumor site.
What is Targeted Radionuclide Therapy?
In contrast to external radiotherapy, where radiation is applied from outside the body, Targeted Radionuclide Therapy isdefined by the infusion of a radiopharmaceutical into the body which precisely recognizes and destroys tumor cells while healthy surrounding tissue is minimally affected.
Comparator treatment
Standard therapy with either CAPTEM (chemotherapy) or everolimus (immunosuppressive cancer therapy) or FOLFOX (chemotherapy), determined by the doctor based on individual benefit-risk assessment and according to institutional protocols, local prescribing information, local regulations or local guidelines.
Study objectives
Evaluate efficacy, safety and impact on quality of life.

PARP Inhibitor With 177Lu-DOTA-Octreotate PRRT in Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumours (PARLuNET)
PARLuNET is a phase 1 dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of talazoparib (PARP Inhibitor) in combination with 177Lu-DOTA-Octreotate peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) in patients with metastatic pancreatic and mid gut neuroendocrine tumour (NET).
Patients will receive 1 cycle of 177Lu-DOTA-Octreotate alone followed by 3 cycles of 177Lu-DOTA-Octreotate combined with 5 days of talazoparib.
This trial is looking to recruit 24 patients and if you would like to know if you are eligible, please ask your doctor to assess the inclusion criteria listed at PARP Inhibitor With 177Lu-DOTA-Octreotate PRRT in Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumours – Full Text View – ClinicalTrials.gov

COMPETE Phase III clinical trial
COMPETE is led as an international, prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter phase III study. This means, that during the study new data will be collected (prospective), that results in patients receiving the new treatment are compared to a control group receiving the standard therapy (controlled) and that patients are randomly allocated to receive either n.c.a. Lutetium-177-Edotreotide or the current standard of care (randomized). Additionally, patients and physicians know what drug is being administered (open-label) and the study is conducted at multiple sites in multiple countries simultaneously (multicenter).
The trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the targeted radiopharmaceutical n.c.a. Lutetium-177-Edotreotide (PRRT) compared with the standard therapy Everolimus in patients with neuroendocrine tumors of gastroenteric or pancreatic origin (GEP-NET). It is intended specifically for patients who have progressive NETs which have spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or that cannot be removed with surgery.
If you are interested in taking part in the study, please ask your attending clinician whether you comply with the inclusion criteria.

Combination Immunotherapy in Rare Cancers Under InvesTigation (MOST-CIRCUIT)
Brief Study Description:
The four tumour streams that will be studied in this protocol are based on immunotherapy sensitive rare cancers from CA209-538 which will be further investigated under this protocol and divided into four groups:
- Neuroendocrine cancers: Atypical bronchial carcinoid, neuroendocrine carcinoma and Grade 3 NETs independent of primary site (SCLC excluded)
- Biliary tract cancers: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma
- Gynaecological malignancies: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma, uterine clear cell carcinoma, uterine/ovarian carcinosarcoma, uterine leiomyosarcoma and vaginal/vulva squamous cell carcinoma
- Mismatch repair protein deficient (MSI-H) cancers (excluding colorectal carcinoma).
The role of immunotherapy is being defined in more common cancer types, however because of their rarity, the efficacy of immunotherapy for these cancers is poorly defined.
This protocol provides an important opportunity to establish whether the combination of nivolumab & ipilimumab has efficacy in these cancers.
