Summary

This phase IV trial evaluates how well giving standard of care (SOC) peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) after SOC surgical removal of as much tumor as possible (debulking surgery) works in treating patients with grade 1 or 2, somatostatin receptor (SSTR) positive, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) that have spread from where they first started (primary site) to the liver (hepatic metastasis). Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate is a radioactive drug that uses targeted radiation to kill tumor cells. Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate includes a radioactive form (an isotope) of the element called lutetium. This radioactive isotope (Lu-177) is attached to a molecule called dotatate. On the surface of GEP-NET tumor cells, a receptor called a somatostatin receptor binds to dotatate. When this binding occurs, the lutetium Lu 177 dotatate drug then enters somatostatin receptor-positive tumor cells, and radiation emitted by Lu-177 helps kill the cells. Giving lutetium Lu 177 dotatate after surgical debulking may better treat patients with grade 1/2 GEP-NETs

A woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) - must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test resulted within 28 days prior to initiation of first dose of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate on cycle 1, day 1; and must agree to follow instructions for using acceptable contraception from the time of signing consent, and until 7 months after her final dose of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate
A man able to father children who is sexually active with a WOCBP must agree to follow instructions for using acceptable contraception, from the time of signing consent, and until 4 months after his final dose of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate

Exclusion Criteria7

Patient has any tumor \> 3 cm deemed to be inoperable
Patient has disease which is considered to be completely surgically resectable
Patient has grade 3 neuroendocrine neoplasm (well-differentiated or poorly-differentiated tumor)
Prior receipt of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT)
