4 Personalized Medicine The right treatment, for the right patient, at the right time, at the right dose»not anymore targeting the disease but the specific tumor of a patient The concept of PM has now been extended to Personalized Health Care that includes all steps relevant for the cure of the patient at an individual level from the first sign of disease up to full recovery, including the physicians, the technologies, the drugs and of course all economic aspects, but also extended to the environment, relatives, nurses Theranostics Theranostics is the combination of a Diagnostic Tool that helps to define the right Therapeutic Tool for a specific disease we see what we treat. The first Theranostics World Congress (TWC) in NM was organized in 2011 at Zentralklinik Bad Berka (>400 participants from 56 countries). Term coined first by PharmaNetics CEO John Funkhouser in 1998 at the same time the concept of Personalized Medicine appeared. Concerning radioisotopes, the term THERAGNOSTICS was created by Suresh Srivastava (Brookhaven National Laboratory). The most prominent and oldest application is radioiodine (switch of the radionuclide from diagnosis to radionuclide therapy). Molecular Nuclear Medicine and THERANOSTICS within MNM are definitely part of Personalized Health Care.

43 The COMPETE study Controlled, Open-label, Multicentre study of PRRT with 177 Lu-Edotreotide compared to targeted molecular Therapy with Everolimus in neuroendocrine tumours of the pancreas (P-NET) and midgut Trial started in 2017

44 J Nucl Med 2011; 52:

45 J Nucl Med 2011; 52: Conclusion: GHS/QOL, KPS, and symptoms improved significantly after Lu-177 octreotate therapy, and there was no significant decrease in QOL in patients who had no symptoms before therapy. In patients who had suboptimal scores for GSH/QOL or symptoms before therapy, a clinically significant improvement was demonstrated. Our results indicate that Lu-177 octreotate therapy not only reduces tumors and prolongs overall survival, but also improves the patients self-assessed QOL.

46 Quality of life findings in the NETTER-1 Study Jonathan Strosberg Associate Professor H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center Tampa, FL

47 Methods: QOL analysis QOL surveys obtained every 12 weeks (EORTC QLQ C-30 and GI-NET 21 questionnaires). Answers are scored on a point scale. A 10-point change in score over time is considered clinically significant. Percentage of patients on each arm of the study with QOL changes 10 points from baseline were recorded at each 12-week timepoint from week Due to higher rates of progression/death on the octreotide arm, relative number of patients on this arm is increasingly lower at each timepoint. Aaronson et al. JNCI 1993; 85:365-76

48 Global Health Status How would you rate your overall health during the past week How would you rate your overall quality of life during the past week * * In mean, during the study, global health status was* : improved in 28% of the patients in 177 Lu-DOTA-TATE (177-Lu) vs. 15% in the Octreotide LAR arm (Oct)* worsened in 18% of the patients in 177 Lu-DOTA-TATE (177-Lu) vs. 26% in the Octreotide LAR arm (Oct) 48 * Statistically significant difference between the arms (p 0.05) weeks 24 and 48

49 Physical functioning Do you have any trouble doing strenuous activities like carrying a heavy shopping bag or suitcase Do you have any trouble taking a long walk Do you have any trouble taking a short walk outside of the house Do you need to stay in bed or a chair during the day Do you need help with eating, drinking, washing yourself or using the toilet In mean, during the study, global physical functioning was : improved in 18% of the patients in 177- Lu vs. 5% in the Octreotide LAR arm (Oct) worsened in 15% of the patients in 177- Lu vs. 21% in the Octreotide LAR arm (Oct) 49

50 Role functioning Were you limited in doing either your work or other daily activities Were you limited in pursuing your hobbies or other leisure time activities In mean, during the study, global role functioning was : improved in 29% of the patients in 177-Lu vs. 18% in the Octreotide LAR arm (Oct) worsened in 20% of the patients in 177-Lu vs. 29% in the Octreotide LAR arm (Oct) 50

51 Pain Have you had pain Did pain interfere with your daily activities In mean, during the study, global pain was : improved in 41% of the patients in 177-Lu vs. 28% in the Octreotide LAR arm (Oct) worsened in 17% of the patients in 177-Lu vs. 25% in the Octreotide LAR arm (Oct) 51

52 Diarrhea Have you had diarrhea * In mean, during the study, diarrhea: improved in 39% of the patients in 177-Lu vs. 23% in the Octreotide LAR arm (Oct) worsened in 19% of the patients in 177-Lu vs. 23% in the Octreotide LAR arm (Oct) 52 * Statistically significant difference between the arms (p=0.05) at week 48.

53 Conclusions Treatment with 177 Lu-Dotatate is associated with improvement in quality of life in several key domains including global health and diarrhea. Non-statistically-significant improvement in QOL seen (more improvement/less worsening) observed with 177 Lu- Dotatate in most domains. No evidence of significantly decreased quality of life with 177 Lu-Dotatate observed in any domain. Limitation of study includes lack of blinding. Patients were aware of treatment assignment.

67 SUMMARY TAKE HOME MESSAGES PRRT is effective and well tolerated even in very advanced NET cases Median overall survival from start of treatment: > (up to >90) months PRRT leads to significant improvement of clinical symptoms Cure is rarely possible - but excellent palliation can be achieved PRRT: part of the clinical algorithms of major scientific & clinical societies Standardized treatments are usually applied - guidelines are available Significant kidney damage can be avoided (or reduced) PRRT should be performed at specialized centres: NET patients need highly individualized interdisciplinary treatment and long term care. Future perspectives: personalized treatment based on Genetic characteristic & clinical features Dosimetry Biological information regarding the tumor cell and its microenvironment New interface between molecular imaging and circulating biomarkers
