E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- ≥18 years, men and women - Understanding and provision of signed and dated written informed consent by the patient or legally acceptable representative prior to any study-specific procedures - Karnofsky performance status >70 - Histopathologically diagnosed locally advanced or metastatic MTC with calcitonin level >100 pg/mL after total thyroidectomy or other histologically diagnosed gastroenteropancreatic and bronchopulmonary NET with known metastases - Patients with an advanced stage of disease as documented by local or distant metastasis in alternative imaging procedure such as 68Ga-SSTR-PET/CT or 18FDOPA-PET/CT, including a contrast enhanced CT performed up to six months before study inclusion - Male subjects must-agree to use condoms throughout the study period and for 1 month after study termination if their partner is of childbearing potential and is using no contraception. They agree not to donate semen during the study period and for 1 month after study termination. - Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative urine/serum pregnancy test. WOCBP who are sexually active, agree to use highly-effective means of contraception during the study period and for at least 6 months poststudy treatment. Allowed are accepted and effective non-hormonal methods of contraception and sexual abstinence or vasectomised partners (>3 months previously). Vasectomy has to be confirmed by two negative semen analyses. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
