ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This single-center retrospective study explores the safety and efficacy of 177 Lu-DOTATATE in children and young adult population with metastatic/inoperable neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
This study is a retrospective analysis of all children and young adult patients (≤29 years) with advanced inoperable/metastatic epithelial or nonepithelial NETs who were administered a median of 4 cycles of 177 Lu-DOTATATE therapy and low-dose oral capecitabine as a radiosensitizer every 8-12 weeks, except 2 patients who received CAPTEM chemotherapy. The radiological response was assessed using RECIST 1.1 on interim and end-of-treatment 68 Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT. The primary endpoint was objective response rate, whereas disease control rate, toxicity profile, progression-free survival, and overall survival were secondary endpoints.RESULTS:
Nineteen biopsy-proven NET patients (median age, 22 ± 10 years) with 8 of them adolescents (10-18 years) and the remaining young adults (19-29 years) were included. Fourteen patients had gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pancreas being most common primary site), whereas the rest had non-gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. A total of 65 cycles of 177 Lu-DOTATATE (range, 1-6 cycles) were administered with a median cumulative activity of 600 mCi (range, 100-1000 mCi). The objective response rate and disease control rate were 41% and 94%, respectively. Grade 1 and 2 adverse events were observed in 14 (74%) and 5 (26%) of 19 patients, respectively. In a total of 8 events (42%), 4 events each of disease progression and death occurred during a median follow-up of 80.1 months with an estimated 5-year progression-free survival and overall survival of 54% (95% confidence interval, 30-78) and 63% (95% confidence interval, 39-87), respectively.CONCLUSIONS:
177 Lu-DOTATATE appears safe and effective in children and young adults with metastatic/inoperable NETs. Large prospective trials are required to validate these results.
