This is a multicentre long-term non-interventional study of adult subjects diagnosed with unresectable or metastatic, progressive, well differentiated (G1 and G2), somatostatin receptor positive GEP-NETs who have been prescribed Lutathera® in standard clinical practice.
Data on patients will be collected from the date when patient consent was obtained, during treatment with Lutathera® and for a follow-up period until end of study (EOS), defined as the time when the last enrolled patient has completed 36 months of assessments (unless early termination) after enrolment. Data will be collected in accordance with routine clinical visits. The study duration will be 48 months in total: 12 months recruitment and 36 of follow-up from the last patient in.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
164
Treatment with Lutathera® will be independent from participation in this observational study and must not be initiated for the purpose of participating in this study. The decision to treat patients with Lutathera® will occur before patients are enrolled in the study.

Assess the impact of treatment on health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) by EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire
EORTC QLQ-C30 will be filled in by the patient prior to knowing computed tomography (CT) scan/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) result. The EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire is designed for use with a wide range of cancer patient populations and is intended to be supplemented by tumour-specific questionnaire modules. The EORTC QLQ-C30 incorporates different multi-item scales, i.e. functional scales, symptom scales and a Global Health Status/QoL scale. All parameters are evaluated using single or multi-item questions which are consequently converted into a 100-point score.
Time frame: Up to 48 months
Assess the impact of treatment on health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) by EORTC QLQ-G.I.NET-21 questionnaire
EORTC QLQG. I.NET-21 will be filled in by the patient prior to knowing computed tomography (CT) scan/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) result. EORTC QLQ-G.I.NET-21 questionnaire is a module specific for neuroendocrine tumours and comprises 21 questions assessing disease symptoms, side effects of treatment, body image, disease related worries, social functioning, communication and sexuality. Each subscale is based on the following items: endocrine scale (items 31-33); gastrointestinal scale (34-38); treatment scale (39, 40, and 46); social function scale (42, 44, and 49); disease related worries scale (41, 43, and 47); muscle/bone pain (48), sexual function (51), information/communication function (50), and body image (45). All parameters are evaluated using single or multi-item questions which are consequently converted into a 100-point score
Time frame: Up to 48 months
Time to Deterioration (TTD) in global health scale (TTD- global health scale)
TTD, defined as the time, in months, from Lutathera® treatment initiation to the date of first deterioration of ≥10 points in the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-G.I.NET21 global health scale score compared to the baseline score for the same domain.
Time frame: Baseline, up to 48 months
Time to Deterioration (TTD) in diarrhoea item (TTD- diarrhoea item)
TTD, defined as the time, in months, from Lutathera® treatment initiation to the date of first deterioration of ≥10 points in the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-G.I.NET21 diarrhoea item score compared to the baseline score for the same domain.
Time frame: Baseline, up to 48 months
Time to Deterioration (TTD) in fatigue item (TTD- fatigue item)
TTD, defined as the time, in months, from Lutathera® treatment initiation to the date of first deterioration of ≥10 points in the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-G.I.NET21 fatigue item score compared to the baseline score for the same domain.
Time frame: Baseline, up to 48 months
