#3386 Peptide Radio Receptor Therapy induces immune activation in patients with neuroendocrine tumors and might sensitize to immunotherapy

Introduction: Peptide Radio Receptor Therapy (PRRT) is a standard treatment in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET), but treatment responses are limited and novel therapy combinations are needed. Since radiation induced cell death is considered immunogenic, patients might benefit from a combination of PRRT with immunotherapies, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI).

#3195 Peptide Radio Receptor Therapy sensitizes to immunotherapy by increasing expression of checkpoint molecules in in patients with neuroendocrine tumors

Introduction: Peptide Radio Receptor Therapy (PRRT) represents a standard treatment in patients with well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NET G1/G2). Nevertheless, a lack of response is observed in 1/3 of patients after PRRT, suggesting that combination of PRRT with other therapies might increase its efficacy. The combination of PRRT with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) might be promising, since radiation induced cell death can trigger antigen release and lead to activation of the immune system.
