German study reveals Real-World use of PRRT for neuroendocrine tumors
NCT ID NCT07653126
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 117 people with gastro-enteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) who received a type of radiation therapy called PRRT in German clinics. Researchers collected information on patient characteristics, treatment timing, and how PRRT was given in everyday practice. The goal was to better understand real-world treatment patterns, not to test a new drug.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-DOTATATE/DOTATOC or Lutathera®
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors better understand how PRRT is used in real-world settings, potentially improving treatment guidelines for neuroendocrine tumors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other countries or healthcare systems.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion criteria: * Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of GEP-NET (any localization of the primary tumor including cancer of unknown primary origin \[CUP\], any Grade). * Patients with a first cycle of primary PRRT of home-brew 177Lu-DOTATATE/DOTATOC or Lutathera® between 01 July 2020 and 30 June 2021. Exclusion criteria: * Received a combination of PRRT with chemotherapy. * Received a combination of PRRT with a radionuclide other than lutetium-177 (e.g., yttrium-90).
