Testing the Addition of an Anti-cancer Drug, Triapine, to the Usual Radiation-Based Treatment (Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate) for Neuroendocrine Tumors (NCT04234568)
A Phase I Trial of Triapine and Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate in Combination for Well-Differentiated Somatostatin Receptor-Positive Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (GEP-NETs)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of triapine when given together with lutetium Lu 177 dotatate in treating patients with neuroendocrine tumors. Triapine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radioactive drugs, such as lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and not harm normal cells. Giving triapine and lutetium Lu 177 dotatate together may work better to treat patients with neuroendocrine tumors.
