Plain-language summary
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with \[177Lu\]Lu-\[DOTA0,Tyr3\]octreotate (177Lu-Dotatate) is an effective and safe treatment for patients with metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP NET). While 177Lu-Dotatate prolongs progression-free survival (PFS) and preserves quality of life (QoL), objective response rates (ORR) remain limited. Capecitabine, as radiosensitizer, could increase efficacy without increasing 177Lu-Dotatate activity. This phase II randomized controlled trial investigated the additional cytotoxic or radiosensitizing effect of capecitabine in combination with 177Lu-Dotatate.
Patients with advanced somatostatin receptor positive GEP NET or bronchopulmonary NET were included to receive four cycles of 7.4 GBq 177Lu-Dotatate and capecitabine or 177Lu-Dotatate alone. Capecitabine (1650 mg/m2/day) was administered for two weeks from the start of each PRRT cycle. Primary endpoints were ORR, PFS and median overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints included biochemical response, adverse events and QoL.

Inclusion criteria
✓. Presence of histology proven GEP tumor(s), including bronchial carcinoids.
✓. Presence of somatostatin-receptors on the known tumor lesions demonstrated by OctreoScan® within 6 months of the first dose of radiolabelled octreotate/octreotide. The uptake on the octreoscan should be at least as high as normal liver uptake on planar imaging.
✓. Life expectancy greater than 12 weeks
✓. Serum creatinine ≤150 μmol/liter or 1.7 mg/dL, and a measured creatinine clearance (or measured GFR using plasma clearance methods, not gamma-camera based) of ≥50 mL/min.
✕. Surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or other investigational therapy within 3 months of the start of therapy.
✕. Patients with known brain metastases unless these metastases have been treated and stabilized for at least six months prior to study start. Patients with a history of brain metastases must have a head CT with contrast to document stable disease prior to study start.
✕. Uncontrolled congestive heart failure.
✕. Any subject who is taking concomitant medications which decrease renal function (such as aminoglycoside antibiotics).
✕. Any subject receiving therapy with somatostatin analogues, unless the dose has been stable for at least 3 months prior to the first cycle in this study and the disease status during these 3 months has been documented by SWOG criteria as described in this study.
✕. Any subject receiving therapy with short-acting somatostatin analogues in whom these analogues cannot be interrupted for 12 hours before and 12 hours after the administration of the radiolabelled somatostatin analogues, or any subject receiving therapy with long-acting somatostatin analogues in whom these analogues cannot be interrupted for at least 6 weeks before the administration of the radiolabelled somatostatin analogues, unless the uptake on the Octreoscan during continued somatostatin analogue medication is at least as high as normal liver uptake on planar imaging.
✕. In patients with unusual hematological parameters, including an increased MCV (\>105 fL), and especially in those who had previous chemotherapy, the advice of a hematologist should be seeked, for adequate further work-up.
