Evaluation of the Inflammation-based Index as a Predictive Marker of Clinical and Radiological Response in Patients Treated With Lu-177 Oxodotreotide for Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumour (LUTIBI)

November 14, 2025 updated by: Institut Claudius Regaud

This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label study designed to evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of the Inflammation Based Index (IBI) score as a marker for predicting clinical and radiological response in patients treated with Lu-177 oxodotreotide for inoperable or metastatic, progressive, grade 1 or 2 intestinal neuroendocrine tumors.

This IBI score will be assessed on the basis of C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin values, and will be defined as follows:

  • IBI = 0: Low mortality risk (if CRP and serum albumin values are considered normal in the investigator's judgment).
  • IBI > 0, including: IBI = 1: Intermediate risk of mortality (if one of the two values is considered abnormal and clinically significant according to the investigator's judgment (either hypoalbuminemia or elevated CRP)); IBI = 2: High mortality risk (if both values are considered abnormal and clinically significant according to the investigator's judgment (hypoalbuminemia and elevated CRP)).

Patients were followed up for 36 months.

A total of 150 patients should be included in this study.

  2. Any contraindication to treatment with Lu-177 oxodotreotide.
  3. Morbid obesity (BMI > 40).
  4. Uncontrolled/unbalanced active inflammatory disease in the 3 months prior to inclusion.
  5. Active carcinoid heart disease or other acute cardiovascular event.
  6. Active infection not treated within 15 days.
  7. Pregnant or breast-feeding woman.

Intervention / Treatment
Other: Patients Treated With Lu-177 Oxodotreotide for Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumour

These blood tests will be carried out on several occasions (before, during and after treatment with Lu-177 oxodotreotide). No additional blood sampling is required.

In addition, patient clinical data and imaging data (standard examinations: thoraco-abdomino-pelvic CT +/- MRI and Ga-68 DOTA PET-CT) will be specifically collected for study purposes.

For IUCT-O patients only: blood samples may be taken (at cycles 1 and 2, then 12 months after inclusion) for bio-banking purposes.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Sensitivity, defined as the ratio of the number of refractory patients with an IBI score > 0 to the number of refractory patients.
Time Frame: 12 months for each patient
12 months for each patient
Specificity, defined as the ratio of the number of non-refractory patients with an IBI score = 0 to the number of non-refractory patients.
Time Frame: 12 months for each patient
