Interim analysis of LANTana: Phase Ib study investigating up-regulation of somatostatin receptor-2 (SSTR2) with the de-methylating agent ASTX727 to allow [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE in metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs)

#4119

Introduction: To be suitable for [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE, SSTR2 must be present on tumor surface as per positive uptake on [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE-PET/CT. SSTR2 promoter methylation reduces SSTR2 expression; this can be reversed using a demethylating agent.

Aim(s): To evaluate if treatment with demethylating agent ASTX727 results in re-expression of SSTR2, as per [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE-PET/CT, allowing [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE treatment.
