Study summary

This is a randomized Phase II/late phase I de-escalation clinical trial with approved investigational medicinal products in new use condition, low intervention.

Disease under study Patients with unresectable or metastatic, slowly progressive, well-differentiated (Grade1 and Grade2), somatostatin receptor-positive midgut neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs).

It is planned to randomize 166 patients with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of slowly progressive grade 1 or grade 2 advanced midgut neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) candidates to receive 177Lu-Dotatate targeted radioligand therapy (RLT). Patients are required to have SSTR+ disease, as evidenced on somatostatin receptor imaging. Patients will be randomized into two arms:

  1. control arm: regimen 177Lu-Dotatate every 8 weeks (q8w)
  2. experimental arm: regimen 177Lu-Dotatate every 16 weeks (q16w)

Research hypothesis: Less intensive somatostatin-receptor (SST) targeted radioligand therapy (RLT) (7.4 GBq/cycle 177Lu-Dotatate every 16 weeks x 4 cycles) is associated with less severe hematological toxicities and may mitigate the risk to develop therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) with similar antitumor efficacy in slowly growing gastrointestinal grade 1-2 NETs.

Read the detailed description
  1. Rationale The main hypothesis is less intensive somatostatin-receptor (SST) targeted radioligand therapy (RLT) (7.4 GBq/cycle 177Lu-Dotatate every 16 weeks x 4 cycles) is associated with less severe hematological toxicities and may mitigate the risk to develop therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) with similar antitumor efficacy in slowly growing gastrointestinal grade 1-2 NETs.
  2. Objectives Primary Objectives

    -To demonstrate decreased serious hematological toxicity with a less intensive RLT regimen in slowly progressive advanced Grade 1-2 midgut NETs.

    Secondary Objectives

    • To show comparable efficacy (clinical, hormonal and radiological response, progression-free survival and overall survival) of the less intensive RLT regimen (cycles q16w) versus the conventional one (cycles q8w). To compare the rate of clonal hematopoiesis among study arms (baseline and post-treatment) and assess its potential value to predict the risk of therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN).
    • To compare the duration of ≥ Grade 2 hematological toxicity (median and percentage rate of > 6 month duration)
    • To show decreased overall toxicity of the less intensive RLT regimen (cycles q16w) versus the conventional one (cycles q8w) Exploratory Objectives
    • To explore other predictive factors for toxicity and efficacy
    • To explore the tolerance of the subsequent systemic line of treatment Pattern of progression and modality of diagnosis
  3. Main Trial Endpoints The primary endpoint for the RIALTO trial is the rate of Grade 2-5 hematological toxicity (worst per patient) from initiation of treatment with RLT up to 24 months thereafter according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 (NCI-CTCAE v5)

  5. Trial Design RIALTO is an a randomized, prospective, international, open-label, phase III - I trial comparing a less intensive RLT regimen 4 cycles of 177Lu-Dotatate (7·4 GBq/cycle) every 16 weeks) versus the conventional one (4 cycles of 177Lu-Dotatate (7·4 GBq/cycle) every 8 weeks)
  6. Trial Population It is planned to randomize 166 patients with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of slowly progressive grade 1 or grade 2 advanced midgut neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) candidates to receive 177Lu-Dotatate targeted radioligand therapy (RLT). Patients are required to have SSTR+ disease, as evidenced on somatostatin receptor imaging. Patients with a large SRI+ mesenteric mass with abdominal-dominant disease judged by the investigator to be a midgut NET will also be eligible. Patients will be randomized into two arms: control (regimen 177Lu-Dotatate every 8 weeks) and experimental (regimen 177Lu-Dotatate every 16 weeks).

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(25)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

RECIST

The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.

“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of Grade 2-5 hematological toxicity

    The primary endpoint for the RIALTO trial is the frequency of Grade 2-5 hematological toxicity (worst per patient) from initiation of treatment with RLT up to 24 months thereafter according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 (NCI-CTCAE v5)

    Time frame: Throughout the study period, from initiation of treatment with RLT up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Best hormonal response

    Best hormonal response defined as greatest decrease, or \>30% decrease, of chromogranin A and 5HIAA from baseline if baseline levels were \>2x ULN or 5xULN

    Time frame: 24 months

  2. Best radiological response

    Best radiological response according to local investigator RECIST V1.1

    Time frame: 24 months

  3. Duration of response (DoR)

    Duration of response (DoR) according to local investigator RECIST v1.1. Time from first response (CR or PR), according to ORR definition for the trial, to the date of the documented PD as determined using RECIST v1.1 criteria or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Those patients with response and without PD or death event will be censored on the date of their last tumor assessment.

    Time frame: Throughout the study period, from initiation of treatment with RLT up to 24 months

  4. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Objective response rate (ORR) according to local investigator RECIST v1.1. Assessed by the investigator through imaging follow-up (CT scan/MRI) using RECIST v1.1 (Appendix 3).
