Phase 2TerminatedNCT02592707

Ipsen40 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this clinical phase I/II study was to investigate the safety and tolerability of satoreotide tetraxetan (177Lu-IPN01072, formerly known as 177Lu-OPS201) used for the treatment of patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). The secondary objectives of this study were the assessment of biodistribution, dosimetry and preliminary efficacy of satoreotide tetraxetan.

Satoreotide tetraxetanDRUG

Satoreotide tetraxetan administered in 3 cycles at intervals of 8 weeks (+ up to 2 additional optional cycles)

Amino acid solutionOTHER

Given as an auxiliary product the day of the IMP infusion for safety reasons to protect the renal function. Centres can use their established amino acid infusion or Ipsen amino acid solution (auxiliary medical product OPS301)

AntiemeticOTHER

Any uncontrolled significant medical, psychiatric or surgical condition (active infection, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, poorly controlled hypertension, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus \[HbA1c ≥9%\], uncontrolled congestive heart disease, etc.) or laboratory findings that, in the opinion of the investigator, might jeopardize the patient's safety or that would limit compliance with the objectives and assessments of the study. Note: the patient should be able to tolerate high volume load. 12. Current history of any malignancy other than NET within 5 years of enrolment except for fully -resected non-melanoma skin cancer or cervical cancer in situ.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs

AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical trial subject administered a medicinal product, which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A serious AE (SAE) was classified as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death; AE was life threatening; required inpatient hospitalization or prolonged existing hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant disability/ incapacity; was a congenital anomaly/birth defect; was an important medical event that may not result in death. TEAEs are defined as AEs that developed or worsened after start of treatment.

Time frame: From the start of the first study medication (Cycle 1 Day 1) up to 6 months after the last dose of study medication, maximum of 33 months

Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT)

DLTs were defined as study medication-related AEs with a severity of Grade 3 or higher are considered DLT, with the exception of hair loss, lymphopenia, nonfebrile neutropenia lasting \<4 weeks and thrombocytopenia lasting \<4 weeks.

Time frame: From the start of the first study medication (Cycle 1 Day 1) up to EOCT, maximum of 16 weeks.

Secondary Outcomes

Maximum Uptake (%) of 177Lu-IPN01072 at Target Lesions and Discernible Organs in Cycle 1

177Lu-IPN01072 uptake in organs and lesions was evaluated centrally, using nuclear medicine images, as part of the dosimetry workflow. Uptake activity for organs of interest (i.e., body, bone marrow, kidney \[left + right\], healthy liver, and spleen) was determined. The maximal uptake in lesions was calculated for each lesion as: maximal activity divided injected activity\*100.

Time frame: 4, 24, 48, 72 to 96 hours, 144 to 168 hours post infusion in Cycle 1

Maximal Uptake (%) of 177Lu-IPN01072 in Blood in Cycle 1

177Lu-IPN01072 uptake in blood was evaluated on site/locally using a gamma counter calibrated for 177Lu-IPN01072 according to the dosimetry operational manual.
