Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 18 months - 18 years of age at the time of the initial diagnosis.

  • ≥ 3 years at the moment of inclusion in the trial.

  • Diagnosis: relapsed/refractory solid tumours with positive uptake on SSTR-PET (PET-CT or PET-MRI), performed in the previous three months before entering thestudy. The positiveness of the study in patients with localized CNS tumours that donot spread through the spine, will be assessed according to:

  • Active uptake: when the tumoral lesion shows SSTR expression higher than the one ofthe background cerebral uptake.

  • Negative uptake: when the tumoral lesion shows no SSTR expression. Patients withactive uptake in the majority of the tumoral lesions will be considered to have apositive SSTR-PET and will be therefore eligible for the trial.

For the rest of the patients, the evaluation of SSTR expression will be classified according to a qualitative 4-point scale: SSTR expression V (visual score):

  • Score = 0: Below or equal to blood pool

  • Score = 1: Above blood pool and lower than liver

  • Score = 2: Equal to or above liver and lower than spleen

  • Score = 3: Equal to or above spleen Patients with scores ≥ 2 in the majority of thetumoral lesions will be considered to have a positive SSTR-PET and will be thereforeeligible for the trial. Patients with a higher score are presumed to have a betterresponse to the treatment.

  • It is admissible to have non-measurable disease only (e.g., HR-NB with bone-only orbone marrow-only active disease).

  • Performance status ≥ 50% according to Lansky scale (<16 years old) orKarnofsky scale (for ≥16 years old).

  • Life expectancy of at least 3 months.

  • Availability of ability to swallow tablets

  • Adequate organ function within 28 days prior to enrolment, as defined by:

  • Hb ≥10 g/dl (packed red blood transfusion is acceptable up to 24 hours priorstarting treatment);

  • White blood cell (WBC) count ≥ 2500/µL (equivalent to 2.5 x 109/L)

  • Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1000/µl;

  • Platelets ≥ 50.000/µl, without transfusion in the prior ≥10 days;

  • Serum plasma creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) OR estimated glomerularfiltration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m2 (assessed by 2009-Schwartz formula).

  • Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x the institutional ULN. For patients with known Gilbert'sSyndrome ≤ 3.0 ULN is permitted.

  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3.0 ULN OR ≤ 5.0 ULN for patients with liver metastases.

  • Albumin >3.0 g/dL (3.0 g/dL is equivalent to 30 g/L)

  • A negative serum or urine pregnancy test in women with onset of menses or >12years of age.

  • Patients of reproductive potential must agree to use highly effective contraceptivemethods for the entire study duration and up to 7 months, in case of females, and 4months in case of males, after the last dose of Lutathera, or up to 6 months, incase of females, and 3 months in case of males, after the last dose of olaparib,whichever takes places later.

  • Have the ability to comprehend and willingness to provide written informed consent (ICF) for the study before patient registration or any trial-related screeningprocedures. If the patient is <18 years old, the written informed consentmust be signed by the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) according to nationalregulations. In the case of patients between 12 and 17 years, they must sign anassent form, and if the patient turns 18 during their participation in the study,they must sign an informed consent form.

  • Adequate recovery from major surgery prior to receiving study treatment.

  • Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical conditionpotentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule;those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in thetrial

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Having received more than one previous treatment with other radiolabelledsomatostatin analogues.

  • Inability to swallow tablets.

  • Subjects who are currently receiving any other anticancer and/or investigationalagents. There must be at least two-week of washout from any prior treatment.

  • Treatment with long-acting somatostatin analogues within 30 days prior theadministration of 177Lu-DOTATATE.

  • Known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients.

  • Subjects who have an uncontrolled infection.

  • Lactating women.

Study Description

Relapsed/refractory (R/R) solid tumours at the paediatric age have a dismal prognosis [5-year overall survival (OS) <20%. There is growing evidence about the somatostatin receptor (SSTR) expression in paediatric tumours, which opens a new diagnostic and therapeutic tool. Somatostatin receptor-targeted therapy with 177Lu-DOTA0-Tyr3-octreotate (177[Lu]Lu DOTA-TATE, 177Lu-DOTATATE, Lutathera®) has been approved by the EMA (2017) and the FDA (2018) for the treatment of adults with midgut neuroendocrine tumours after the excellent results achieved in the phase III NETTER-1 study.

177Lu-DOTATATE is already being explored as monotherapy in children with R/R high-risk neuroblastoma, CNS tumours or meningiomas in 2 pilot studies and 4 clinical trials (ISRCTN98918118, NCT04903899, NCT03966651, NCT05278208). There are two on going clinical trials exploring the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of 177Lu-DOTATATE in children <12 years old, but results are still pending.

The results show promising but insufficient results. Because of its beta particle emission, 177Lu-DOTATATE mainly produces DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) that are easily repaired by the organism. In order to enhance its effect, the investigators propose its combination with PARP inhibitors (iPARP) so that the SSBs could not be repaired and would lead to the formation of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and, subsequently, to cell death. This combination is already being explored in different clinical trials in adults with neuroendocrine tumours and prostate cancer. An interesting study analysed the perfect scheme for the 177Lu-DOTATATE and olaparib combination and concluded that olaparib should be delayed 24 hours after 177Lu-DOTATATE administration in order to facilitate normal tissue repair without decreasing antitumoural activity. It also concludes that there is no benefit in continuing olaparib after 4 weeks of continuous treatment. Olaparib has also been administered in children and there is today a recommended phase 2 dose (187.5 mg/m2 BID)
