Advanced Accelerator Applications is currently pursuing marketing approval for 177Lu-DOTA0-Tyr3-Octreotate (Lutathera). This expanded access therapeutic protocol aims to allow patients suffering from inoperable, somatostatin receptor positive, neuroendocrine tumors, progressive under somatostatin analogue therapy to access the investigational product, 177Lu-DOTA0-Tyr3-Octreotate (Lutathera), prior to its commercial availability.
Advanced Accelerator Applications activated in 2012 a multicenter, stratified, open, randomized, comparator-controlled, parallel-group Phase III study comparing treatment with 177Lu-DOTA0-Tyr3-Octreotate to 60 mg Octreotide LAR in patients with inoperable, progressive, somatostatin receptor positive, midgut carcinoid tumors (NETTER-1 trial, EudraCT number 2011-005049-11, IND number 77219). Clinical studies, including NETTER-1 for which the primary analysis has been conducted, showed clinical evidence of safety and effectiveness to support the expanded access use without any unreasonable potential risks for the patients in the context of the disease to be treated. In July 2016, the first patient was treated under an Expanded Access Program (EAP) for inoperable, progressive, somatostatin receptor positive, midgut carcinoid tumors. Compassionate use programs in Europe include pulmonary NETs. In the US, there were many centers with patients with NETs who did not meet the inclusion criteria for the original EAP. In May 2017, Advanced Accelerator Applications inquired with the FDA if amending the inclusion criteria of the original protocol to include all NETs would be permissible. In June 2017, Advanced Accelerator Applications was able to submit a revision to the original Expanded Access Program's protocol for 177Lu-DOTA0-Tyr3-Octreotate to include neuroendocrine tumors arising from sites other than midgut. The locations listed below that are participating in the EAP may have received IRB approval for either the original protocol or the new protocol or both. Please, inquire with the Facility Contact as to which protocol is active at their site.
Drug: 177Lu-DOTA0-Tyr3-Octreotate
The treatment regimen consists of 4 administrations of 7.4 GBq (200 mCi) at the date and time of infusion. The recommended interval between two infusions is 8 weeks, which could be extended up to 16 weeks in case of dose modifying toxicity.
Other Name: Lutathera
Inclusion Criteria:
- Presence of metastasized or locally advanced neuroendocrine tumor, inoperable (curative intent) at enrollment time, and regardless of the origin of the tumor.
- Ki67 index ≤ 20%
- Patients progressive under SSA (any dose) at the time of enrollment
- Target lesions over-expressing somatostatin receptors according to an appropriate imaging method (e.g. 111In-pentetreotide (Octreoscan) imaging or 68Ga-DOTA0-Tyr3-Octreotate (or 68Ga-edotreotide) imaging)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Either serum creatinine >150 μmol/L (>1.7 mg/dL), or creatinine clearance
