Phase 1 Study of No-Carrier Added 177Lu-DOTATATE (SNU-KB-01) in Patients with Somatostatin Receptor-Positive Neuroendocrine Tumors: The First Clinical Trial of Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy in Korea.
Article in Cancer research and treatment, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo provide a wider choice of treatment opportunities for patients with neuroendocrine tumor (NET) in Korea, we have conducted a phase 1, open-label, single-arm, dose-escalation study of SNU-KB-01, a no-carrier added (NCA) 177Lu-labeled DOTATATE. MATERIALS AND
methodsSeven patients with inoperable, progressive, metastatic, or locally advanced, somatostatin receptor-positive NET with Ki67 index ≤ 20% were enrolled according to the rolling six design. The study consisted of two cohorts to receive 4 cycles of SNU-KB-01 every 8 weeks for the first dose of 5.55 GBq (n=3) and 7.40 GBq (n=4). We assessed the incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and adverse event, absorbed dose of kidneys and bone marrow, and objective tumor response.
resultsSeven patients completed 4 cycles (21.3-30.1 GBq total dose) of SNU-KB-01. The mean absorbed doses to kidneys and bone marrow were 0.500 mGy/MBq and 0.053 mGy/MBq, respectively, and the total body effective dose was 0.115 mSv/MBq. No DLT was observed and the maximum tolerated dose was 7.40 GBq/cycle. Grade 3 thrombocytopenia occurred in one patient, but no other grade 3 or 4 major hematologic or renal toxicity was observed. The best objective response to SNU-KB-01 was partial response. Overall response rate was 42.9% and disease control rate was 85.7%.
conclusionTreatment with 4 cycles of SNU-KB-01 was well tolerated and resulted in control of disease in most of the patients. Our results indicate SNU-KB-01, an NCA 177Lu-labeled DOTATATE, as a potentially safe and efficacious treatment option for NET patients in Korea.
