Tandem peptide receptor radionuclide therapy using 90Y/177Lu-DOTATATE for neuroendocrine tumors efficacy and side-effects - polish multicenter experience.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:One of the concepts of theranostics in nuclear medicine is peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), whereby labeled somatostatin analogs are used for imaging and treating inoperable or disseminated neuroendocrine tumors (NET). AIM:The aim of the study was to determine the therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of tandem 90Y /177Lu-DOTATATE in patients with disseminated NET in a multicenter trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS:103 patients with NET G1/G2 treated with 90Y/177Lu-DOTATATE (1:1) with amino-acid infusion for nephroprotection were included in the study. RESULTS:Overall survival from the disease diagnosis (OS-D) was 127.4 months and from the time of PRRT (OS-T) was 89.5 months. Progression-free survival (PFS) was 29.9 months. An analysis based on the proliferation index revealed a statistically significant impact on PFS and OS-T (PFS G1 vs G2, 59.3 vs 24.3 months; OS-T G1 vs G2, not reached vs 79.9 months). The effect of the primary disease site was also analyzed. For pancreatic vs small bowel vs large bowel, the PFS was 30.8 vs 30.3 vs 40.6 months, the OS-T was 94 vs 61.9 vs 131.2 months and OS-D was 130.4 vs 89.2 vs not reached months, respectively. The 2-year risk of progression was 42%. The probability of 2-year and 5-year overall survival was 89% and 62%, respectively. PRRT was well tolerated by all patients. One patient (1%) developed myelodysplastic syndrome. No other grade 3 and 4 hematological or renal toxicity was observed. CONCLUSIONS:This multicenter trial showed that tandem 90Y/177Lu-DOTATATE is highly effective and safe therapy for patients with disseminated NET.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Patients with advanced midgut neuroendocrine tumors who have had disease progression during first-line somatostatin analogue therapy have limited therapeutic options. This randomized, controlled trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of lutetium-177 (177Lu)-Dotatate in patients with advanced, progressive, somatostatin-receptor-positive midgut neuroendocrine tumors. METHODS:We randomly assigned 229 patients who had well-differentiated, metastatic midgut neuroendocrine tumors to receive either 177Lu-Dotatate (116 patients) at a dose of 7.4 GBq every 8 weeks (four intravenous infusions, plus best supportive care including octreotide long-acting repeatable [LAR] administered intramuscularly at a dose of 30 mg) (177Lu-Dotatate group) or octreotide LAR alone (113 patients) administered intramuscularly at a dose of 60 mg every 4 weeks (control group). The primary end point was progression-free survival. Secondary end points included the objective response rate, overall survival, safety, and the side-effect profile. The final analysis of overall survival will be conducted in the future as specified in the protocol; a prespecified interim analysis of overall survival was conducted and is reported here. RESULTS:At the data-cutoff date for the primary analysis, the estimated rate of progression-free survival at month 20 was 65.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 50.0 to 76.8) in the 177Lu-Dotatate group and 10.8% (95% CI, 3.5 to 23.0) in the control group. The response rate was 18% in the 177Lu-Dotatate group versus 3% in the control group (P<0.001). In the planned interim analysis of overall survival, 14 deaths occurred in the 177Lu-Dotatate group and 26 in the control group (P=0.004). Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and lymphopenia occurred in 1%, 2%, and 9%, respectively, of patients in the 177Lu-Dotatate group as compared with no patients in the control group, with no evidence of renal toxic effects during the observed time frame. CONCLUSIONS:Treatment with 177Lu-Dotatate resulted in markedly longer progression-free survival and a significantly higher response rate than high-dose octreotide LAR among patients with advanced midgut neuroendocrine tumors. Preliminary evidence of an overall survival benefit was seen in an interim analysis; confirmation will be required in the planned final analysis. Clinically significant myelosuppression occurred in less than 10% of patients in the 177Lu-Dotatate group.

Project description:177Lu‑DOTATATE was recently approved for the treatment of somatostatin receptor (SSTR)‑positive neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). However, despite impressive response rates, complete responses are rare. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitors have been suggested as suitable therapeutic agents for NETs, as well as a potential radiosensitizers. Consequently, the aim of this study was to investigate whether the HSP90‑inhibitor onalespib could reduce NET cell growth and act as a radiosensitizer when used in combination with 177Lu‑DOTATATE. The NET cell lines BON, NCI‑H727 and NCI‑H460, were first characterized with regards to 177Lu‑DOTATATE uptake and sensitivity to onalespib treatment in monolayer cell assays. The growth inhibitory effects of the monotherapies and combination treatments were then examined in three‑dimensional multicellular tumor spheroids. Lastly, the molecular effects of the treatments were assessed. 177Lu‑DOTATATE uptake was observed in the BON and NCI‑H727 cells, while the NCI‑H460 cells exhibited no detectable uptake. Accordingly, 177Lu‑DOTATATE reduced the growth of BON and NCI‑H727 spheroids, while no effect was observed in the NCI‑H460 spheroids. Onalespib reduced cell viability and spheroid growth in all three cell lines. Furthermore, the combination of onalespib and 177Lu‑DOTATATE exerted synergistic therapeutic effects on the BON and NCI‑H727 spheroids. Western blot analysis of BON spheroids revealed the downregulation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the upregulation of γ H2A histone family member X (γH2AX) following combined treatment with onalespib and 177Lu‑DOTATATE. Moreover, flow cytometric analyses revealed a two‑fold increase in caspase 3/7 activity in the combination group. In conclusion, the findings of this study demonstrate that onalespib exerts antitumorigenic effects on NET cells and may thus be a feasible treatment option for NETs. Furthermore, onalespib was able to synergistically potentiate 177Lu‑DOTATATE treatment in a SSTR‑specific manner. The radiosensitizing mechanisms of onalespib involved the downregulation of EGFR expression and the induction of apoptosis. Consequently, the combination of onalespib and 177Lu‑DOTATATE may prove to be a promising strategy with which to improve therapeutic responses in patients with NETs. Further studies investigating this strategy in vivo regarding the therapeutic effects and potential toxicities are warranted to expand these promising findings.
