According to IAEA/EANM/SNMMI guidelines, long-acting somatostatin analogues (LA-SSAs) should be discontinued 4-6weeks prior to peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) to prevent somatostatin receptor saturation. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of continued use of long-acting SSAs during PRRT on the uptake of [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE on SPECT/CT. Consecutive patients with neuroendocrine tumours who were treated with PRRT receiving 7.4GBq of [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE were included. Patients were divided into 3 groups: (1) control (LA-SSA stopped > 6weeks prior to PRRT), or continued treatment with (2) long-acting octreotide < 6weeks prior to PRRT, or (3) long-acting lanreotide < 6weeks prior to PRRT. The uptake of [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE was quantified in healthy tissues (spleen, liver, kidneys, bone marrow) and tumour lesions on SPECT/CT performed 24h after PRRT. A Mann-Whitney U test was used to determine differences in uptake between the long-acting octreotide and long-acting lanreotide groups compared to the control group. Forty-two patients with 135 cycles of PRRT were included: 28 with lanreotide, 50 with octreotide, and 57 cycles without LA-SSAs. Uptake of [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE was significantly decreased in liver parenchyma in patients with lanreotide (p < 0.001) and in the spleen in patients with either octreotide or lanreotide (both p < 0.001). No differences were observed for uptake in kidneys, bone marrow, and blood pool. Uptake of [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE in tumours was the same in patients with lanreotide compared to the control (p = 0.862) and in patients with octreotide compared to the control (p = 0.201), independent of tumour location. Long-acting octreotide and lanreotide do not interfere with the uptake of [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE in tumour lesions 24h post-injection. Uptake in healthy liver parenchyma significantly decreases after lanreotide administration prior to PRRT, while uptake in healthy spleen tissue significantly decreases with both octreotide and lanreotide administration.
