Clinical Trials

Study of PRRT in Metastatic, World Health Organization (WHO) Grade 1 or 2, SSTR Positive, GEP-NET Who Are Candidates for Cytoreductive Surgery

The purpose of this study is to learn about the feasibility and safety of using Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) before and after surgical removal of a tumor. PRRT treatment is based on the administration of a radioactive product, 177-Lu DOTA-0-Tyr3-Octreotate (Lutathera®) and its use before and after surgery is thought to increase the overall survival benefit for patients with SSTR-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors GEP-NETs.

Stanford is currently accepting patients for this trial.

Intervention(s):

  • drug: Lutathera
  • drug: Gallium 68 Dotatate
  • procedure: Computed Tomography (CT)
  • procedure: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
