NETTER-1 updated analysis: mPFS of 28.4 months with LUTATHERA + SSA vs 8.5 months with SSA alone (HR, 0.21 [95% CI, 0.14-0.33]; P<.0001)7

ESTABLISHED SAFETY & PROVEN TOLERABILITY

Consistent safety profile with no new safety signals in NETTER-1 and NETTER-2 with 5-year follow-up in NETTER-16,8

  • Most common AEs (≥20%) across trials: nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea (NETTER-1 and NETTER-2), vomiting, fatigue, thrombocytopenia, and musculoskeletal pain (NETTER-1)2,3,6

  • In NETTER-1 and NETTER-2, respectively: 7% and 2% of patients reduced dose, 5% and 2% of patients discontinued treatment3,6
