Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators aim to explore the efficacy of \[90Y-DOTA\]-TOC and \[177LuDOTA\]-TOC therapy in advanced neuroendocrine cancer. Therefore, the investigators assess response, survival and long-term safety profile of systemic \[90Y-DOTA\]-TOC and \[177LuDOTA\]-TOC treatment in metastasized neuroendocrine cancer patients. Adverse events are assessed according to the criteria of the National Cancer Institute. Survival analyses are performed using multiple regression models.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background: Systemic treatment with the 90Yttrium (90Y) labeled, tetraazacyclododecanetetraacetic acid (DOTA) modified somatostatin analog Tyr3-octreotide (TOC) was introduced in 1998 (Otte et al. Lancet 1998). \[90Y-DOTA\]-TOC is administered intravenously and binds to the somatostatin receptor subtype 2, located on the surface of the tumor cell, and exerts its cytotoxic effects by β-irradiation. The treatment has moderate acute hematologic and nephrologic toxicity and has developed into a promising therapeutic tool for tumors expressing its target receptor (Iten et al. Clin Cancer Res 2007, Iten et al. Cancer 2009).

Study Aim: To explore the efficacy of \[90Y-DOTA\]-TOC and \[177LuDOTA\]-TOC therapy in advanced neuroendocrine cancer.

Study Hypothesis: Response to DOTA-TOC is correlated with prolonged survival.
