After the screening period, participants who signed the ICF and were eligible for the study in accordance with the entry criteria were randomly assigned to treatment either Lutetium[177Lu] Oxodotreotide Injection or Octreotide LAR. Participant randomization was performed according to a centralized permuted block randomization scheme with a balanced ratio (1:1) between the 2 treatment groups, stratified by primary site of tumor (pancreatic or non-pancreatic), NET pathological grading (G1 or G2) and by the length of time that a participant was on a constant dose of Octreotide (=< 6 versus > 6 months). Objective tumor assessment in both groups was performed every 12+/-1 weeks from the randomization date according to RECIST Criteria until progression was centrally confirmed: any participants with progressive disease ceased the treatment/assessment period and proceeded to the long-term follow-up period for evaluation of survival and long-term safety.
This was a multicenter, stratified, open, randomized, comparator-controlled, parallel-group phase III study comparing treatment with Lutetium[177Lu] Oxodotreotide Injection to high dose (60 mg) Octreotide LAR in patients with unresectable or metastatic, progressive, well differentiated (G1 and G2), somatostatin receptor positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours.
