Dosimetry-Guided Lutathera for the Treatment of Unresectable and/or Metastatic Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors, LuMOD-ID Trial

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial compares the effect of dosimetry-guided Lutathera to standard dose Lutathera in treating patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEPNET) that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) and/or has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Lutathera is a radioactive drug that binds a protein called somatostatin receptor, which is found on some neuroendocrine tumor cells. It builds up in these cells and gives off radiation that may kill them. Dosimetry refers to the process of measuring radiation exposure in the body from cancer treatment. It may be useful for personalizing treatment dosages in patients receiving forms of radiation by maximizing tumor dose while also reducing side effects. Dosimetry-guided Lutathera may be effective in treating patients with GEPNET and result in less side effects, compared to standard Lutathera.
