Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • 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.

    End of cycle 1

  • Phase 2: Overall Response Rate

    Proportion of patients who have a partial or complete response to therapy.

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 100 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Clinical diagnosis of GEP-NET disease, histologically consistent with neuroendocrine tumor.
  • Inoperable disease (metastatic, non-candidate for surgery with curative intent, locally advanced into vessels or other critical structures, etc.)
  • NOTE: Presence of at least one non-irradiated index lesion (Phase II only).
  • Patients on somatostatin analogue therapy (e.g., but not only limited to sandostatin or lanreotide therapy) must have initiated and been on a consistent dose of therapy for at least 3 months prior to study enrollment.
  • Patients on short-term octreotide must have dose held for 24 hours without octreotide because this is necessary for study Lu-177-DOTATATE therapy.
  • Age \>=18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of Lu-177-DOTATATE in combination with olaparib in patients \<18 years of age, children are excluded from this study, but may be eligible for future pediatric trials.
  • Must have presence of somatostatin receptors (SSTR) positive disease as documented by positive Ga-68-DOTATATE PET scan within 12 weeks prior to enrollment. NOTE: Positivity of Ga-68-DOTATATE PET scan is defined as having at least one RECIST 1.1 measurable lesion that has an SUV higher than or equal to liver and is qualitatively higher and distinguishable from background activity.
  • Known BRCA mutation status (Cohort 3 only).
  • Progressive disease by RECIST 1.1, as compared to previous anatomic imaging no more than 36 months from the date of study enrollment, with at least 1 measurable lesion by RECIST 1.1.
  • ECOG Performance Status of \<=1.
  • Patients must have normal organ and bone marrow function measured within 28 days prior to enrollment as defined below:
  • Hemoglobin \>= 10.0 g/dL with no blood transfusion in the past 28 days
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1.5 x 10\^9/L
  • Platelet count \>= 100 x 10\^9/L
  • Total bilirubin \<= 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • +25 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients who have any GEP-NET lesions that are negative by Ga-68-DOTATATE-PET imaging but positive by FDG-PET imaging, unless they have progressed on at least one other line of prior systemic treatment (such as chemotherapy or tyrosine kinase inhibitor) and the majority of their tumor lesions are Ga-68-DOTATATE-avid.
  • Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with study drugs, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with study drugs.
  • Other known co-existing malignancies except non-melanoma skin cancer and carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix, unless definitively treated and proven no evidence of recurrence for 5 years.
  • Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents.
  • Patients receiving any systemic chemotherapy or radiotherapy (except for palliative reasons) within 4 weeks prior to study enrollment.
  • Patients with persistent toxicities (\>= CTCAE grade 2) with the exception of alopecia, caused by previous cancer therapy and toxicities deemed irreversible/stable expected to interfere with study drug administration in the opinion of the Principal Investigator.
  • Patient's weight exceeding PET table tolerance (\> 400 lbs).
  • Uncontrolled inter-current illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, hypertension (\>180/110), arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Patients with symptomatic, uncontrolled brain metastases. NOTE: Patients with previously treated brain metastases are eligible if asymptomatic and may be on a stable dose of corticosteroids as long as these were started at least 4 weeks prior to treatment.
  • Patients with spinal cord compression unless considered to have received definitive treatment for this and evidence of clinically stable disease by imaging and clinical assessment as assessed by the treating investigator for 28 days before enrollment.
  • Concomitant use of known strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors within 2 weeks before enrollment.
  • Concomitant use of known strong or moderate CYP3A inducers within 5 weeks (for enzalutamide or phenobarbital) and 3 weeks for other agents before enrollment.
  • Patients that have had major surgery within 4 weeks prior to study enrollment and have not recovered from any effects of any major surgery.
  • Patients unable to swallow orally administered medication and patients with gastrointestinal disorders likely to interfere with absorption of the study medication.
  • Previous allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant, allogeneic bone marrow transplant or double umbilical cord blood transplant (duCBT).
  • +8 more criteria
