The purpose of the study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-Edotreotide compared to targeted molecular therapy with Everolimus in patients with inoperable, progressive, somatostatin receptor-positive (SSTR+), neuroendocrine tumours of gastroenteric or pancreatic origin (GEP-NET).

Drug 177Lu-edotreotide PRRT

PRRT using 177Lu-edotreotide will be performed 3-monthly. A maximum of four cycles will be administered.

  • Other names: 177Lu-DOTATOC, 177Lu-Edo

Drug Everolimus

Everolimus will be adminstered as a standard dosis of 10 mg daily which may be reduced where required for acceptable tolerability.

  • Other names: Afinitor

Other Amino-Acid Solution

The Amino-Acid Solution (AAS) to be used in this study will contain a mixture of 25 g lysine and 25 g arginine diluted in 2000 mL of electrolyte solution, infused over 4 - 6 h, starting 30 - 60 min before PRRT

  • Other names: Arginine-Lysine Solution

177Lu-edotreotide PRRT Experimental

177Lu-edotreotide (177Lu-DOTATOC) A maximum of four cycles of 7.5 ± 0.7 GBq (gigabequerel) 177Lu-edotreotide, each. Route of administration: Slow intravenous infusion/injection (i.v.) Duration of treatment: 4 cycles, 90 days apart (total duration: 270 days/9 months)

Everolimus Active Comparator

Everolimus (Afinitor ®) Doses: 10 mg/d Route of administration: Oral Duration of treatment: Continuous daily treatment until diagnosis of progression or End of Study (EOS)

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Histologically confirmed diagnosis of well-differentiated neuro-endocrine tumour of non-functional gastroenteric origin (GE-NET) or both functional or non-functional pancreatic origin (P-NET)
Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1
Somatostatin receptor positive (SSTR+) disease
Progressive disease based on RECIST 1.1. criteria as evidenced by two morphological imaging examinations made with the same imaging method (either CT or MRI)

Exclusion Criteria:

Known hypersensitivity to edotreotide or everolimus
Known hypersensitivity to DOTA, lutetium-177, or any excipient of edotreotide or everolimus or any other Rapamycin derivative
Prior exposure to any peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT)
Prior therapy with mTor inhibitors
Prior EFR (external field radiation) to GEP-NET lesions within 90 days before randomisation or radioembolisation therapy
Therapy with an investigational compound and/or medical device within 30 days prior to randomisation
Indication for surgical lesion removal with curative potential
Planned alternative therapy (for the period of study participation)
Serious non-malignant disease
Clinically relevant renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, or haematological organ dysfunction, potentially interfering with the safety of the study treatments
Pregnant or breast-feeding women
Subjects not able to declare meaningful informed consent on their own (e.g. with legal guardian for mental disorders) or any other vulnerable population to that sense (e.g. persons institutionalised, incarcerated etc.).
