Surgical Debulking Prior to Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy in Patients with Well Differentiated Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

Multiple Cancer Types

This phase IV trial evaluates how well giving standard of care (SOC) peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) after SOC surgical removal of as much tumor as possible (debulking surgery) works in treating patients with grade 1 or 2, somatostatin receptor (SSTR) positive, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) that have spread from where they first started (primary site) to the liver (hepatic metastasis). Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate is a radioactive drug that uses targeted radiation to kill tumor cells. Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate includes a radioactive form (an isotope) of the element called lutetium. This radioactive isotope (Lu-177) is attached to a molecule called dotatate. On the surface of GEP-NET tumor cells, a receptor called a somatostatin receptor binds to dotatate. When this binding occurs, the lutetium Lu 177 dotatate drug then enters somatostatin receptor-positive tumor cells, and radiation emitted by Lu-177 helps kill the cells. Giving lutetium Lu 177 dotatate after surgical debulking may better treat patients with grade 1/2 GEP-NETs.

A Safety and Efficacy Study of Treatment Combinations With and Without Chemotherapy in Adult Participants With Advanced Upper Gastrointestinal Tract Malignancies

Multiple Cancer Types

This is a Phase 2, open-label, parallel 3-cohort, multicenter study to evaluate the safety
and preliminary clinical activity of treatment combinations with and without chemotherapy in
participants with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric, GEJ, and esophageal
adenocarcinoma. Chemotherapy will consist of FOLFOX (oxaliplatin, leucovorin, fluorouracil).
