Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: 177Lu-DOTATATE
A total of two doses of 177Lu-DOTATATE will be administered intravenously. The minimum time between treatments is 2 weeks.
|
Combination Product: 177Lu-DOTATATE
A weight-based activity of 200 MBq kg-1 will be used for the first dose. The activity of the second dose will be calculated based on whole body activity scans as well as SPECT CT scans to determine the absorbed kidney dose. The aim is to administer 177Lu-DOTATATE corresponding to a whole-body dose of 1,2 Gy, with a cumulative whole-body dose of about 2,4 Gy over two courses, and not exceeding a cumulative renal dose of 23 Gy, in order to avoid renal toxicity. |
