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.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Determine objective response rate in patients with grade 1 or 2 GEPNET treated with dosimetrically derived lutetium Lu 177 dotatate (Lutathera) compared to active control.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine treatment-emergent toxicity, as graded by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)5, in patients with grade 1 or 2 GEPNET treated with dosimetrically derived Lutathera compared to control.
II. Determine time to progression in patients with grade 1 or 2 GEPNET treated with dosimetrically derived Lutathera compared to active control.
III. Assess correlation between hematologic toxicity and bone marrow dose in patients with grade 1 or 2 GEPNET treated with dosimetrically derived Lutathera compared to active control.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. Explore tumor-dose relationship in patients with grade 1 or 2 GEPNET treated with dosimetrically derived Lutathera dose compared to control.
II. Explore patient-reported outcome measures and quality of life in patients with grade 1 or 2 GEPNET treated with dosimetrically derived Lutathera dose compared to control.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM 1: Patients receive standard of care (SOC) dose of Lutathera intravenously (IV) over 20 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 8 weeks for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo somatostatin receptor (SSTR) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) during screening, CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during screening and follow up, and collection of blood samples throughout the trial.
ARM 2: Patients receive SOC dose of Lutathera IV over 20 minutes on day 1 of cycle 1 and then receive dosimetry-guided Lutathera IV over 20 minutes on day 1 of each subsequent cycle. Cycles repeat every 8 weeks for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo SSTR PET/CT during screening, CT or MRI during screening and follow up, single photon emission CT (SPECT)/CT on study, and collection of blood samples throughout the trial.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 6 and 12 months and then twice a year for at least 5 years.
