Parham Habibzadeh: How the COMPETE Trial Could Reshape Treatment Sequencing for Progressive GEP-NETs

Parham Habibzadeh, Internal Medicine Resident at UPMC, shared a post on X:

“Phase 3 COMPETE trial just published in the Lancet

[¹⁷⁷Lu] Lu-edotreotide significantly outperforms everolimus in advanced, progressive somatostatin receptor-positive GEP-NETs.

Median PFS: 23.9 months vs 14.1 months (stratified HR 0.67, p=0.022)

How might this reshape treatment sequencing for progressive GEP-NETs?

Key secondary results:

  • Objective response rate 22% vs 4% (p<0.0001).
  • Disease control similar, but median duration longer with PRRT.
  •  Safety favoured [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-edotreotide: treatment-related grade 3–4 adverse events in 18% vs 40%.
  •  No treatment-related deaths in either group.

Concomitant somatostatin analogues allowed only for symptom control.”
