Background Mainly severe (CTCAE grade 3–4) haematotoxicity during peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is reported in literature due to major clinical impact, however moderate (CTCAE grade 2) haematotoxicity is common and could affect therapy management. The aim of this study was to evaluate the haematotoxicity course during PRRT and to compare baseline parameters between haematotoxicity grades. Methods In this retrospective study, 100 patients with a neuroendocrine tumour treated with PRRT were included. Patients were treated with an aimed number of four cycles with 7.4 GBq [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE administered every 10 weeks. Haematological assessment was performed at baseline and frequently up to 10 weeks after the fourth cycle. The lowest haematological value was graded according to CTCAE v5.0, and patients were classified using the highest observed grade. Differences in baseline parameters, including [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE positive tumour volume, were evaluated between CTCAE grades. Results Four cycles were completed by 86/100 of patients, 4/100 patients discontinued due to haematotoxicity, and 10/100 patients due to progressive disease. The treatment course was adjusted due to haematotoxicity in 24/100 patients, including postponed next cycle (n = 17), reduced administered activity (n = 13), and both adjustments (n = 10). The most observed haematotoxicity grade was grade 0–1 in 54/100 patients, grade 2 in 38/100 and grade 3–4 in 8/100. Significant differences in baseline leucocyte, neutrophil and platelet counts were observed between grade 0–1 and grade 2. However, the correlation between baseline and lowest observed values was poor to moderate. No differences between haematotoxicity grades and baseline parameters or somatostatin receptor positive tumour volume was observed. Conclusions The incidence of severe haematotoxicity was low with extensive screening and monitoring. The vast majority of patients (96/100) was not restricted in treatment continuation by haematotoxicity; therefore, our selection criteria appeared appropriate for safe PRRT treatment. Baseline parameters showed limited correlation with the degree of decline in haematological values.

623 Background: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare but increasing in incidence. The only curative treatment is surgery, which in many cases is not an option due to metastatic disease at diagnosis. The NETTER-1 study showed high efficacy and low toxicity of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) for midgut NETs. Here, we present our initial experience with PRRT in the treatment of patients with NET. Methods: Fifty-two patients (27 males and 25 females; 37 - 81 yo, mean ± SD: 61.8 ± 10.6 years) with documented progressive NET (25 pancreas, 17 small intestine, 1 coecum, 4 unknown primary, 3 paragangliomas, and 2 pheochromocytomas) were referred to undergo PRRT at our institution from July 2018 to September 2019. Laboratory tests were obtained at baseline, 1 week before each cycle and every 3 months following treatment. Progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR) and toxicity were assessed. An interim overall survival (OS) analysis was performed. Results, when possible, were compared with the NETTER-1 trial. Lines of therapy were documented. Results: 22/52 (42%) patients completed all 4 cycles of PRRT. 18/52 (34%) patients are currently being treated. 12/52 (23%) patients had to discontinue treatment. Hematotoxicity was the only side effect which can be related to PRRT. The 6-month and 9-month PFS rate was 82.4% and 66.8% respectively vs. 89% and 84% in the NETTER-1 trial. The ORR was 36% vs. 18% in the NETTER-1 trial. In the interim OS analysis, 6 deaths occurred. In contrast to the NETTER-1 study, PRRT in our patient cohort was performed later in the course of treatment (median lines of therapy before PRRT = 4 ±1.3 (range 1-6)). Conclusions: Our preliminary data show overall good results of PRRT in patients with NETs. However, compared to the NETTER-1 trial, PFS is shorter which is most likely due to the extensive pretreatment, but ORR was higher. [Table: see text]

e16700 Background: Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with radiolabeled somatostatin analogues is an innovative treatment for inoperable or metastasized, well/moderately differentiated, neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Currently PRRT cannot be performed in Japan, because there is no approval and insurance cover until now. Methods: We rely on University Hospital Basel to perform PRRT for Japanese patients with NET since 2011. In this retrospective analysis we evaluated the efficacy and safety of PRRT for Japanese patients with NET (IRB B180100019). Inclusion criteria were pathologically confirmed NET, inoperable or metastasized disease, and visible tumor uptake in the pre-therapeutic somatostatin receptor scintigraphy. We excluded patients with concurrent antitumor treatment, concomitant severe illness, and pre-existing severe hematologic, renal, and liver damage. 5.55GBq(150mCi) of 177Lu-DOTATOC was used as standard treatment and patients received three infusions every 8 weeks. Until end of 2017, combination treatment with 90Y-DOTATOC and 177Lu-DOTATOC was performed using the same protocol. We checked blood count and renal function parameter every two weeks after PRRT. CT or MRI examination were performed 10-12 weeks after the last PRRT cycle. We evaluated the morphological changes according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. With the execption of Somatostatin analogues further treatments were refrained until tumor progression. Results: Thirty-three patients (male: 16, female: 17) were recruited with a median age of 56 years. (range: 26-71). Primary lesions were pancreas (n = 18), rectum (n = 6), small intestine (n = 3), stomach (n = 1), and other locations (n = 5). The period between diagnosis and PRRT was about 3years. Median Ki67 index was 6.3% (range: 0.7%-30%). Partial response rate was 39.3% and disease control rate is 63.6%. Progression free survival (PFS) was 421 days (95%CI:269-572 days) and overall survival was 580 days (95%CI:259-900days). We compared PFS with the treatment line (front line: first or second-line vs late line: third or fourth-line), there was no significant difference between the two groups (front line: 329.0 days vs late line: 497.0 days Log Rank test P = 0.189). Conclusions: PRRT in Japanese patients with NET was effective and a reliable treatment option.
