What is PRRT?
I’m guessing most of my readers know what Peptide Receptor Radiotherapy (PRRT) is. But for those new to this field, read more here
What is Triapine?
Triapine is a ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) inhibitor, I.e. it helps repair DNA. When I research this drug, I can see it is used in numerous examples of clinical trials in an anti-cancer setting alongside radiotherapy and chemotherapy, in many cancers.
Triapine in NET
There is currently a trial of Triapine with Lutathera (PRRT) (11 major US hospitals). This study was testing the hypothesis that triapine is an effective radiation sensitizer that can be safely combined with peptide receptor radionuclide therapy and can improve antitumor activity of Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate, e.g. increase the objective response rate (ORR) above that found in standalone clinical trials, e.g. NETTER-1. A trial sponsored by Markey Cancer Center has recently completed Phase 1 and has been granted permission to progress to a randomised phase 2 study, a clear indication the Phase 1 study was successful and warranted further progression.
The Clinical Trial Document (phase 1) – NCT04234568
It is not yet known whether the existing Phase 1 clinical trials doc above will be converted to Phase 2 or a new one will be entered into the database. Nor is it yet known that the trial locations will be less, the same, or extended; I will keep you informed via this post.
Phase 1 trial data
To be confirmed. Watch this space.
Additional Information
This trial is also evaluating NETest, a novel blood-based test that evaluates levels of 51 neuroendocrine tumor gene transcripts. In addition, the study will correlate clinical outcome with baseline somatostatin receptor density, somatic tumor mutations and germline mutations.
