e16291 Background: The QoL experience during the 1st year of follow up for 68Ga-DOTATATE PET positive primary site agnostic pts with progressive metastatic NET enrolled in a prospective single arm clinical trial of 177Lu-DOTATATE therapy (OZM 067) is described here. Methods: Pts with progressive NET, Ki67 Index < 30%, adequate organ function & ECOG £2 were eligible. Only pts demonstrating positive disease (Krenning score 3-4) on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET were eligible to proceed to 177Lu-DOTATATE therapy (4 cycles at 8- to 12- week intervals. Primary outcome was progression free survival (PFS) at 12 mths. QoL (EORTC QLQ 30 and GINET21) at baseline, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 months were recorded. Summary scores at time point of interest, and their change from baseline were estimated using a mixed model repeated measure, with baseline assessment included in the model as covariate. Data were normalized with a range of 0-100. A positive change score for Global Summary Status, Functioning Domains, and a negative change score for Symptom Scales and Items represent improvement. A ≥5 point change score is used as a threshold for Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID). Results: 195 pts were enrolled. 13 pts were 68Ga-DOTATATE PET negative while 5 pts withdrew consent. 177 pts received at least one dose of 177Lu-DOTATATE. All pts enrolled were eligible for a minimum of 12 mths follow up at time of data lock. The primary site was GEPNET in 143 (81%) and non GEPNET in 34 (19%). At 12 mths, the median follow-up was 33 (range 3-71) mths. PFS and OS were 81 (95% CI: 75-86)% and 92 (87-95)% respectively. QoL data at the following timepoints baseline, 6 & 12 (±2) mths were available in 174,128 & 111 pts respectively. The top three symptoms captured in EORTC QLQ 30 was Fatigue (32.5 SD 23.8) , Insomnia (26.7 SD 28.1) and Diarrhea (22.1 SD 29.4). At 12 mths, an improvement in mean score of ≥MCID in Global Health status (GHS) (+5.4), Role Fc Scale (+7,1), Social Fc Scale (+8.7) and multiple symptoms (Fatigue, Pain, Appetite, Constipation, Diarrhea, Financial Difficulties), Sexual fc, Social, Body image (Table 1) were captured. Conclusions: Patients with primary site agnostic 68Ga-DOTATATE PET positive NET experienced improvement in multiple quality of life domains including multiple symptoms post 177Lu-DOTATATE at 12 mths. Sexual fc and body image had the largest improvement. Clinical trial information: NCT02743741 . [Table: see text]
