This is a prospective, pilot, single center, open-label study in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumor. Eligible participants will undergo baseline assessments at enrollment. Study participants will receive a one-time administration of 90Y-DOTA-TOC via the hepatic artery.
Participants in the correlative sub-study will receive 68Ga-DOTA-TOC concurrent with the 90Y-DOTA-TOC dose, and undergo additional imaging and assessment.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Neuroendocrine Tumor | Drug: 90Y-DOTA-TOC Drug: 68Ga-DOTA-TOC | Early Phase 1 |
Prior to the procedure, the patient will be instructed to fast overnight. Upon arrival to the hospital intravenous (IV) access will be placed, and Additionally, a scopolamine patch may be placed the night prior to treatment. Additionally a Foley catheter will be placed.
Starting 30 minutes prior to the administration of 90Y-DOTA-TOC, an amino acid solution will be administered via IV. An angiographic catheter will be directed under fluoroscopic guidance to the appropriate location in the hepatic artery.
The 90Y-DOTA-TOC dose will be administered over thirty minutes via the hepatic arterial catheter in an outpatient setting.
Ten patients also enrolled in the correlative sub-study will receive 68Ga-DOTA-TOC concurrent with the therapeutic dose and 90 minutes after treatment, these patients will be imaged 90 minutes after treatment using a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) combined with Computerized tomography (CT) (PET/CT) and the following day using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (PET/MR).
All study participants will be followed up on protocol for six months for evaluation of toxicity and response to treatment.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 10 participants |
Allocation: | Non-Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Single Group Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Main study: All participants will receive a single administration of intra-arterial 90Y-DOTA-TOC. There will be a sub-study involving 10 patients from the main study who will undergo additionally correlative imaging to compare IA vs IV administration (intra-arterial 68Ga-DOTA-TOC administration and subsequent PET imaging). |

Drug: 90Y-DOTA-TOC
Starting 30 minutes prior to the administration of 90Y-DOTA-TOC, amino acid solution will be administered via IV, and will continue through the PRRT procedure.

Other Name: Yttrium-90 DOTATOC Drug: 68Ga-DOTA-TOC In the sub-study, 10 patients will receive 68Ga-DOTA-TOC concurrent with the 90Y-DOTA-TOC dose and 90 minutes after treatment, these patients will be imaged using a PET/CT. The following day, patients enrolled in the sub-study will undergo a PET/MRI.

- Overall Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Over the duration of the study, which is estimated to be approximately 36 months ]Based on change in size of hepatic lesions three and six months after treatment with IA 90Y-DOTA-TOC using RECIST criteria.
- Incidence of Treatment-Related Adverse Events [Safety] [ Time Frame: Over the duration of the study, which is estimated to be approximately 36 months ]Based on laboratory evaluation and CTCAE 4.0 criteria.
- Change in SUVmax between pre-treatment IV 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET and treatment IA 68Ga-DOTA-TOC. [ Time Frame: Over the duration of the study, which is estimated to be approximately 36 months ]Data from patients in the imaging correlate sub-study only
- Correlation between uptake on IA 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT compared to 24-hour post-treatment IA 90Y-DOTA-TOC PET/MRI. [ Time Frame: Over the duration of the study, which is estimated to be approximately 36 months ]Data from patients in the imaging correlate sub-study only
