While carcinogenicity and mutagenicity studies have not been conducted with lutetium 177 dotatate, radioisotope is considered a carcinogen and mutagen. No fertility studies have been performed. In repeat dose toxicity studies of rats, pancreatic acinar apoptosis occurred at lutetium Lu 175 dotatate doses ≥ 5 mg/kg. Pancreatic acinar cell atrophy also occurred in repeat dose toxicology studies in dogs at doses ≥ 500 mg/kg.
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation:Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate is a radiolabeled somatostatin analog indicated for the treatment of somatostatin receptor-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. No information is available on the use of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate during breastfeeding. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during lutetium Lu 177 dotatate therapy and for 2.5 months following the last dose, which would usually mean permanently discontinuing breastfeeding of the current infant.
Mothers concerned about the level of radioactivity in their milk could ask to have it tested at a nuclear medicine facility at their hospital. When the radioactivity is at a safe level she may resume breastfeeding. A method for measuring milk radioactivity and determining the time when a mother can safely resume breastfeeding has been published.

At the recommended intravenous dose, the mean blood exposure (AUC) of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate was 41 ng.h/mL (coefficient of variation, or CV, 36 %). The mean maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) was 10 ng/mL (CV 50%) and was observed at the end of the intravenous infusion of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate.
Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate predominantly undergoes renal excretion with cumulative excretion of 44% within 5 hours, 58% within 24 hours, and 65% within 48 hours following intravenous administration. Greater than 99% of total administered dose is expected to be eliminated within 14 days after administration although prolonged renal elimination is expected.
The mean volume of distribution is 460 L (CV 54%). Within 4 hours of administration, distribution in kidneys, tumor lesions, liver, spleen, and, in some patients, pituitary gland and thyroid was observed. High uptake of the radiolabeled peptide in the pancreas in animal biodistribution studies was observed due to high expression of SSTR2. Co-administration of amino acids with lutetium Lu 177 dotatate may decrease the extent of drug distribution to the kidneys.

Somatostatin receptors are overexpressed in neuroendocrine tumors, whose endogenous ligands are somatostatin. DOTA-TATE is an analogue of somatostatin, which shows high binding affinity to somatostatin receptors. We aim to evaluate the Ga-68/Lu-177-labeling DOTA-TATE kit in neuroendocrine tumor model for molecular imaging and to try human-positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging of Ga-68-DOTA-TATE in neuroendocrine tumor patients. DOTA-TATE kits were formulated and radiolabeled with Ga-68/Lu-177 for Ga-68/Lu-177-DOTA-TATE (M-DOTA-TATE). In vitro and in vivo stability of Lu-177-DOTA-TATE were performed. Nude mice bearing human tumors were injected with Ga-68-DOTA-TATE or Lu-177-DOTA-TATE for micro-positron emission tomography and micro-single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography imaging separately, and clinical positron emission tomography/computed tomography images of Ga-68-DOTA-TATE were obtained at 1 h post-intravenous injection from patients with neuroendocrine tumors. Micro-positron emission tomography and micro-single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography imaging of Ga-68-DOTA-TATE and Lu-177-DOTA-TATE both showed clear tumor uptake which could be blocked by excess DOTA-TATE. In addition, Ga-68-DOTA-TATE-positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging in neuroendocrine tumor patients could show primary and metastatic lesions. Ga-68-DOTA-TATE and Lu-177-DOTA-TATE could accumulate in tumors in animal models, paving the way for better clinical peptide receptor radionuclide therapy for neuroendocrine tumor patients in Asian population.
