SUMMARY: Neuroendocrine Tumor Evans Blue Containing Radiotherapeutics The invention pertains to a radiotherapeutic against neuroendocrine tumors that express somatostatin receptor. Radionuclide therapies directed against tumors that express somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) have proven effective for the treatment of advanced, low- to intermediate-grade neuroendocrine tumors. The subject radiotherapeutic covered by the subject patent estate includes a somatostatin (SST) peptide derivative like octreotate (TATE), conjugated to an Evans Blue PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 38707 (EB) analog, and further chelated via DOTA to therapeutic radionuclide177Lu, a beta emitter. The EB analog reversibly binds to circulating serum albumin and improves the pharmacokinetics of SST peptide derivatives and reduce peptidereceptor radionuclide therapy toxicity. EB analog conjugated to octreotate (EB– DOTATATE) has been shown by the inventors to provide reversible albumin binding in vivo and extended half-life in circulation. When EB–TATE is slowly released into the tumor microenvironment, tumor uptake and internalization into SSTR positive tumors resulted in delivery of radioactive particles and tumor cell killing. EB–TATE displayed significantly more favorable pharmacokinetics than TATE alone by achieving higher tumor to non-tumor penetration as evidenced by positron emission tomography.

    The invention pertains to a radiotherapeutic against neuroendocrine 
tumors that express somatostatin receptor. Radionuclide therapies 
directed against tumors that express somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) 
have proven effective for the treatment of advanced, low- to 
intermediate-grade neuroendocrine tumors. The subject radiotherapeutic 
covered by the subject patent estate includes a somatostatin (SST) 
peptide derivative like octreotate (TATE), conjugated to an Evans Blue

peptide derivatives and reduce peptide-receptor radionuclide therapy 
toxicity. EB analog conjugated to octreotate (EB-DOTATATE) has been
