Prospective, randomised, Controlled, Open-label, Multicentre phase III study 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+), gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET).
COMPETE

Objectif principal : To demonstrate the efficacy of PRRT with 177Lu-edotreotide to prolong median progression-free survival (mPFS) in patients with inoperable, progressive, SSTR+ P-NET, compared to Everolimus.
Objectifs secondaires :
1. To assess overall survival (OS) during study period, defined as the date from randomisation until death
2. To determine objective response rates (ORR), defined as the proportion of patients achieving partial (PR) or complete response (CR) as best outcome
3. To determine disease control rates (DCR), defined as the proportion of patients achieving stable disease (SD), PR or CR as best outcome
4. To determine the duration of disease control (DDC), measured from the time of initial diagnosis of response (SD, PR or CR), until diagnosis of progression
5. To determine functional response rates (FRR), considering Cg-A and specific hormones (where increased at baseline)
6. To assess the safety and tolerability of 177Lu-edotreotide in P-NET patients
7. To determine the health-related quality of life (HRQL) in P-NET patients during and after therapy (EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire)
8. To evaluate symptomatic tumour response (EORTC GI.NET21 questionnaire)
9. To evaluate the impact of patient characteristics (time from primary diagnosis, time from diagnosis of progression, number of prior therapies (1st vs 2nd line), type of prior therapies, KPI at randomisation) on tumour response
10. To evaluate the impact of tumour histology (histological entity, tumour grade, Ki-67 expression, SSTR expression, functional state), as determined in primary or current tumour specimen, on tumour response
1. Written informed consent
2. Male or female ?18 years of age
3. Histologically confirmed diagnosis of well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumour of GEP-NET, grade G1 or G2 (Ki-67 < 20%), unresectable or metastatic
4. Availability of existing biopsy specimen from primary tumour or metastasis or, if unavailable, willingness to undergo current biopsy for secondary central analysis

• 111In-pentetreotide SSTR SPECT/planar imaging, or
• 99mTc-octreotide SSTR SPECT/planar imaging, demonstrating adequate tracer uptake, clearly differentiable from background
7. Radiological disease progression, defined as:
• Progressive disease per RECIST 1.1. criteria, evidenced by consecutive morphological imaging (CT or MRI) with ? 90 days interval during the 12 months prior to randomisation
