Due to the slow-growing nature of these tumors and the lack of early symptoms, most cases are diagnosed at advanced stages, when curative treatment options are no longer available. Prognosis and survival of patients with NETs are determined by the location of the primary lesion, biochemical functional status, differentiation, initial staging, and response to treatment. Somatostatin analogue (SSA) therapy has been a mainstay of antisecretory therapy in functioning neuroendocrine tumors, which cause various clinical symptoms depending on hormonal hypersecretion. Beyond symptomatic management, recent research demonstrates that SSAs exert antiproliferative effects and inhibit tumor growth via the somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2).

  • First Patient in Phase III Clinical Trial COMPETE with N.C.A.177Lu-Edotreotide (Solucin®) in Cancer Patients with GEP-NET
    Garching, Germany, April 18, 2017 First Patient in Phase III Clinical Trial COMPETE with n.c.a.177Lu-Edotreotide (Solucin®) in Cancer Patients with GEP-NET Solucin® (n.c.a. 177Lu-Edotreotide) to be shown as a highly precise and effective Targeted Radionuclide Therapy Agent Promising data of Solucin® expected to be confirmed in phase III clinical trial COMPETE Solucin® to demonstrate prolonged PFS compared to mTOR inhibitor Everolimus ITM Isotopen Technologien München AG (ITM), a specialized radiopharmaceutical company, today announced the enrollment of the first patient recruited in the COMPETE study, an international pivotal multi-center phase III clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of n.c.a.177Lu-Edotreotide (Solucin®) compared to Everolimus in patients with inoperable, progressive, somatostatin-receptor positive neuroendocrine tumors of gastroenteric or pancreatic origin (GEP-NET). The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS). With Solucin® a retrospective phase II efficacy and safety study of Targeted Radionuclide Therapy in patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors (NET) with encouraging results has been performed. The results suggest and demonstrate a significant benefit, a substantially improved progression-free survival (PFS).1 Therefore Solucin® received an Orphan Designation (EMA/OD/196/13). Due to these favorable data and the long-term experience with n.c.a. 177Lu-Edotreotide under compassionate use, ITM is positive to verify the results in the clinical phase III trial, known as COMPETE. The study will be conducted predominantly in Europe, North America, South Africa and Australia. The first patient has been enrolled and will be treated in Australia. Solucin® is injected into the patient´s body where it specifically accumulates at the tumor.

  • Practical Guide to Supportive Care of Patients with Functional Neuroendocrine Tumors
    Practical Guide to Supportive Care of Patients With Functional Neuroendocrine Tumors Lowell B. Anthony Supportive care of patients with functional neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) has evolved to include the use of multiple targeted agents to control paraneoplastic states and newer surgical and interventional radiologic techniques to reduce tumor bulk. Challenges encountered by the clinician are the recognition of specific symptom complexes, selecting the relevant laboratory tests and radiologic/scintigraphic scans, and the timing of intervention(s). Individual variables such as the severity of symptoms in the context of primary and metastatic disease sites, tumor bulk, comor- bidities, and previous treatment are factors determining the prioritization of specific treatment regimens for patients with functional NETs. Symptoms such as flushing, secretory diarrhea, hypercalcemia, hyper /hypoglycemia, hypercortisolism, and peptic ulcers should improve with decreasing the elevated amino acid and/or peptide levels produced by NETs. These paraneoplastic symptoms may be accompanied by complaints related to tumor burden such as fatigue, pain, early satiety, anorexia, weight loss, night sweats, and/or symptoms secondary to adverse drug effects such as mucositis, dysgeusia, diarrhea, rash, hypertension, and myelosuppression. Developing a comprehensive continuum of care plan early in disease management assists in controlling the presenting signs and symptoms, and in minimizing disease- and/or treatment-related side effects. This guide serves as a framework

  • Summary of Product Characteristics
    SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 1. NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT Sogacin 20 MBq/mL, solution for injection 2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION One mL contains 20 MBq of gallium (68Ga) edotreotide at the date and time of calibration. At this time, the activity per vial is 200 MBq, corresponding to an activity at end of synthesis ranging from 200 MBq to 930 MBq per vial. Gallium (68Ga) decays to stable zinc (68Zn) with a half-life of 68 minutes by emitting X rays with energies of 9 to 10 keV, positronic radiations with mean energies of 353 and 836 keV, followed by photonic annihilation radiations of 511 keV, and gamma radiation of 1 077 keV. Excipients with known effect: Each mL of Sogacin contains up to 3.5 mg of sodium and a maximum of 0.074 mL of ethanol. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Solution for injection Clear and colourless solution 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1. Therapeutic indications This medicinal product is for diagnostic use only. Sogacin binds specifically to somatostatin receptors. Sogacin is indicated for use with positron emission tomography (PET). Sogacin is used for imaging in patients undergoing oncologic diagnostic procedures describing functions or diseases where enhanced somatostatin receptors expression of specific organs or tissues is the diagnostic target. The following indications have been particularly documented: - detection of the primary occult neuroendocrine tumour when a metastasis of neuroendocrine tumour has been demonstrated or when the serum concentration

    pharmaceuticals Review [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC: The First FDA-Approved 68Ga-Radiopharmaceutical for PET Imaging Ute Hennrich 1,* and Martina Benešová 2 1 Division of Radiology, German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Im Neuenheimer Feld 280, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany 2 Molecular Biology of Systemic Radiotherapy Group, German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Im Neuenheimer Feld 280, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 15 January 2020; Accepted: 1 March 2020; Published: 3 March 2020 Abstract: In the United States, [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2019 as the first 68Ga-radiopharmaceutical for imaging of somatostatin receptor (SSTR) positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors while employing positron emission tomography (PET). In Europe (Austria, Germany, France), [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC was already approved back in 2016. This radiopharmaceutical combines the radionuclide 68Ga with the somatostatin analogue DOTA-TOC for specific imaging of tumor cells expressing SSTRs. Such a targeting approach can also be used for therapy planning in the case of both localized as well as disseminated disease and potentially for the evaluation of treatment response. Keywords: [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC; positron emission tomography (PET); somatostatin receptor (SSTR); neuroendocrine tumors (NETs); theranostics 1. Introduction On 21 August 2019, [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [1] for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Holder of the marketing authorization is the UIHC–PET Imaging Center (University of Iowa Health Care (UIHC)), in Iowa, USA. The ready-to-use 68Ga-labeled peptide was already approved in some European countries (Austria, Germany, and France) in 2016 (IASOtoc®, IASON GmbH, Graz, Austria) [2] and in 2018 (TOCscan®, ITM AG, München, Germany) [3].
