Background: Lu177 DOTATATE Peptide Receptor Radionucleotide Therapy (PRRT) was FDA approved in the United States in 2018 however this treatment modality has been widely available in European nations since early 2000s. Therefore, the data for the safety and efficacy of repeat PRRT are almost exclusively from European centers. We present a real-world experience with repeat PRRT in a cohort of US patients. Methods: We used our single-center longitudinal IRB approved neuroendocrine tumor (NET) registry to identify patients who had been previously treated with at least 1 dose of PRRT (PRRT 1, either Lu 177 DOTATATE or Y90 DOTATOC) and following disease progression were retreated with a second course of PRRT (PRRT 2). Patients who received alpha PRRT were not included. We reviewed patient, tumor and treatment characteristics, time to progression after PRRT 1 and PRRT 2 and toxicity. Results: A total of 153 patients received at least 1 dose of Lu-177 DOTATATE PRRT at our institution post FDA approval, out of which, 13/153 (8.5%) patients received repeat PRRT .2/13 patients were excluded due to lack of adequate follow up. All patients included were white (11/11, 100%). Median age of the participants was 65 years (IQR 63, 67) and 54.5% (6/11) patients were females. Most patients had grade 2 (9/11,81.8%) followed by grade 1 NET (2/11, 18.2%) and all except one patient included had a gastroenteropancreatic origin NET (10,11, 90.9%). 45.5% (5/11) patients received Lu-177 DOTATATE PRRT only both for PRRT1 and PRRT 2, while 54.5% (6/11) patients received Y90 DOTATOC PRRT for PRRT1. Median number of lines therapies before PRRT1 and PRRT were 2 (IQR 2,5) and 1 (IQR 1,2) respectively. Patients received a median of 3 (IQR 2, 4) and 3 (IQR 1,4) cycles for PRRT1 and PRRT2 respectively. At first restaging scan after PRRT1 (3-6 months), 54.5% and 45.5% patients had partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD) respectively. At first restaging scan after PRRT2 (3-6 months), 45.5%, 27.3% and 9.1% patients had SD, progressive disease (PD) and PR respectively; 2/11 patients (18.2%) died before first restaging scan. Median PFS for PRRT1 (n=11) was 22.5 months (IQR 12.7, 30.7). Median PFS (n=5) for PRRT2 was 10.9 months (IQR 10.05, 25.7). PFS was not reached for 1 patient after PRRT2. 1 (9.1%) patient each developed grade 2 nephrotoxicity and grade 3 thrombocytopenia after PRRT2. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first of its kind analysis describing the safety and effectiveness of repeat PRRT in a US cohort. We show that repeat PRRT may benefit select patients and has an acceptable safety profile. Larger prospective clinical studies are required to identify patient groups that are more likely to benefit from repeat PRRT.
