A Phase 1/2 interventional study of Lu-177-DOTATATE and Olaparib in Gastroenteropancreatico Tumors, Neuroendocrine Tumors and Neuroendocrine Neoplasms, sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI). Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 100 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-02.
Sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI) · Phase 1/2, Interventional, and Treatment
Background:
A neuroendocrine tumor is a rare type of tumor. It comes from body cells called neuroendocrine cells. Sometimes, these tumors develop in the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas. Researchers want to find out if a combination of drugs can shrink these tumors.
Objective:
To learn if people with certain neuroendocrine tumors can take a combination of 2 drugs, Lutathera and Olaparib, without having severe side effects, and if this treatment makes the tumors shrink.
Eligibility:
Adults 18 and older who have a neuroendocrine tumor in the pancreas or intestine that cannot be cured by surgery and has somatostatin receptors on the cells.
Design:
Eligible participants will get Lutathera through an intravenous (IV) infusion every 8 weeks for 4 cycles. One cycle is 8 weeks. Each cycle includes a follow-up visit at week 4. For the IV, a small plastic tube is put into an arm vein.
Participants will also take Olaparib by mouth twice a day for 4 weeks of each cycle. They will use a medicine diary to track the doses.
During the study, participants will have physical exams. They will have blood and urine tests. They will fill out questionnaires about their general well-being and function. Their heart function will be tested. They will have scans of their chest, abdomen, and pelvis. One type of scan will use an IV infusion of a radioactive tracer.
Participants will have a follow-up visit about 4 weeks after treatment ends. Then they will have follow-up visits every 12 weeks for 3 years. Then they will have yearly phone calls.
Background:
profile and it is under investigation in several different cancers.
- The rationale behind using combination therapies in cancer stems from the potential of synergistic mechanisms of action of the involved agents. Olaparib is a PARP-inhibitor which blocks the repair of single-stranded DNA breaks and is especially effective when combined with other agents which induces DNA damage.

NOTE: Presence of at least one non-irradiated index lesion (Phase II only).
Patients must have normal organ and bone marrow function measured within 28 days prior to enrollment as defined below:
Postmenopausal or evidence of non-childbearing status. For individuals of childbearing potential (IOCBP): negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 28 days of study enrollment. Postmenopausal is defined as:
Study drugs can have adverse effects on embryofetal survival and development. It is further not known whether olaparib or its metabolites are found in seminal fluid. For these reasons:

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
Lu-177-DOTATATE and escalating doses of olaparib to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD)
Drug: Lu-177-DOTATATE · Drug: Olaparib · Diagnostic Test: Ga dotatate scanning · Diagnostic Test: FDG-PET scanning · Drug: Amino Acid infusion
Lu-177-DOTATATE and olaparib at the MTD
Drug: Lu-177-DOTATATE · Drug: Olaparib · Diagnostic Test: Ga dotatate scanning · Diagnostic Test: FDG-PET scanning · Drug: Amino Acid infusion
Lu-177-DOTATATE will be given by IV every 8 (+/-2) weeks for a total of 4 administrations
Olaparib is given as a pill taken orally and is to be taken twice a day, starting from 2 days before the first administration of Lu-177-DOTATATE until 4 weeks after the last administration
Ga68-DOTATATE PET/CT scan will be done at baseline, at week 32, then every 24 weeks in followup period.
F18-FDG PET/CT scan will be done at baseline, at week 32, then every 24 weeks in followup period.
Concomitant administration of an IV infusion of an amino acid (AA) solution will also be done for renal protection. The AA infusion will begin at least 30-60 minutes prior to injection of Lu-177-DOTATATE and will continue during and after the Lutathera infusion until the entire prescribed amount is infused.
Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose
Depending on what the speed of dose escalation and the final MTD dose, it is estimated that for 4 dose levels with up to 6 patients at each level, approximately 12 to 24 patients will be required for the phase I portion of the study. Standard 3+3 design will be used.
Time frame: End of cycle 1
Phase 2: Overall Response Rate
Proportion of patients who have a partial or complete response to therapy.
Time frame: At disease progression
Phase 2: PFS and OS of BRCA participants
Preliminary evidence of exceptional efficacy of the combination at MTD in a sub-cohort of participants with BRCA mutation. Participants from the BRCA cohort will be analyzed together with other phase 2 participants as well as separately using descriptive data only.
Time frame: Disease progression
Phase 1: BOR and PFS
Preliminary information on the BOR will be presented as a percentage with 95% confidence intervals. Only evaluate patients will be included. Kaplan-Meier curves of PFS will be constructed. Median PFS will be reported with 95% confidence intervals.
Time frame: Disease progression
Phase 2: PFS and OS
Kaplan-Meier curves of PFS and OS will be constructed. Median PFS and OS will be reported with 95% confidence intervals.
Time frame: Death
Plan to share: Yes — All IPD recorded in the medical record will be shared with intramural investigators upon request. In addition, all large scale genomic sequencing data will be shared with subscribers to dbGaP.
