  INCLUSION CRITERIA:

  - Clinical diagnosis of GEP-NET disease, histologically consistent with neuroendocrine tumor.

• - Inoperable disease (metastatic, non-candidate for surgery with curative intent, locally advanced into vessels or other critical structures, etc.) NOTE: Presence of at least one non-irradiated index lesion (Phase II only).

• - Patients on short-term octreotide must have dose held for 24 hours without octreotide because this is necessary for study Lu-177-DOTATATE therapy.

• - Age >=18 years.

Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of Lu-177-DOTATATE in combination with olaparib in patients <18 years of age, children are excluded from this study, but may be eligible for future pediatric trials.

• - Must have presence of somatostatin receptors (SSTR) positive disease as documented by positive Ga-68-DOTATATE PET scan within 12 weeks prior to enrollment.

NOTE: Positivity of Ga-68-DOTATATE PET scan is defined as having at least one RECIST 1.1 measurable lesion that has an SUV higher than or equal to liver and is qualitatively higher and distinguishable from background activity.

• - Known BRCA mutation status (Cohort 3 only).

• - Progressive disease by RECIST 1.1, as compared to previous anatomic imaging no more than 36 months from the date of study enrollment, with at least 1 measurable lesion by RECIST 1.1.

Must have outside endocrinologist/medical oncologist who can follow the patient for standard of care follow-ups after receiving PRRT at the NIH.

• - Study drugs can have adverse effects on embryofetal survival and development.

It is further not known whether olaparib or its metabolites are found in seminal fluid. For these reasons:

• - Individuals of childbearing potential and their partners, who are sexually active, must agree to the use of 2 highly effective forms of contraception in combination (condom plus one of the methods listed below) or must totally/truly abstain from any form of sexual intercourse.

This should be started from the signing of the informed consent, throughout study treatment and for at least 7 month for individuals of childbearing potential after the last dose of the study drugs.

• - Patients with partners that can bear children must use a condom during treatment and for 4 months after the last dose of study drugs when having sexual intercourse with a pregnant individual or with an individual of childbearing potential.

Partners of patients should also use a highly effective form of contraception (see below) if they are of childbearing potential. Patients should not donate sperm throughout study treatment and for 4 months following the last dose of study drugs.

• - Acceptable birth control methods include: - Total sexual abstinence i.e., refrain from any form of sexual intercourse in line with the patients usual and/or preferred lifestyle.

Abstinence must be for the total duration of the study treatment and for at least 7 months (for IOCBP) or 4 months (for patients with partners of child bearing potential) after the last dose of study treatment. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.

• - Immunocompromised patients, e.g., patients who are known to be serologically positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with study drugs. In addition, these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy. Appropriate studies will be undertaken in patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when indicated.

• - Patients with known active hepatitis (i.e., Hepatitis B or C).

• - Any previous treatment with PARP inhibitor, including olaparib and/or any previous treatment with any systemic radionuclide agents.

Background:

• - Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas are a rare and heterogeneous, but clinically important, group of neoplasms with unique tumor biology, natural history, and clinical management issues.

• - While the treatment of localized NETs is surgical resection, a variety of therapeutic options are available for patients with advanced NETs.

These include medical control of excess hormone levels and associated symptoms, cytoreductive surgery for patients with advanced disease, radioembolization, chemoembolization, systemic chemotherapy, interferon, longacting somatostatin analogs, receptor-targeted radionuclide therapy, and or liver transplantation.

• - Somatostatin receptors (SSTR) have been shown to be overexpressed in a number of human tumors, including neuroblastoma, prostate cancer, pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas, and NETs, among many others.

• - Lu-177-DOTATATE (Lutathera) is a SSTR-agonist agent which emits ionizing radiation that causes DNA damage to its target cells through both direct and indirect mechanisms.

In addition, ionizing radiation has also been shown to induce cell death through what is known as the bystander effect, a phenomenon where cellular signaling from irradiated cells towards non-irradiated cells induces cellular damage and eventually death in nearby surrounding cells.

• - Olaparib is a PARP inhibitor indicated as monotherapy in patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA-mutated advanced ovarian cancer who have been treated with three or more prior lines of chemotherapy.

Olaparib has an established safety.profile and it is under investigation in several different cancers.

• - The rationale behind using combination therapies in cancer stems from the potential of synergistic mechanisms of action of the involved agents.

Olaparib is a PARP-inhibitor which blocks the repair of single-stranded DNA breaks and is especially effective when combined with other agents which induces DNA damage. Objectives:

• - Phase I: - Characterize the safety profile and tolerability of the olaparib + Lu-177-DOTATATE combination.

• - Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) dose of the combination using the 3+3 dose escalation design.

• - Phase II: - Measure the Best Overall Response Rate (BOR) by RECIST 1.1 at the MTD dose at completion of 4 cycles of treatment.

Eligibility:

• - Clinical diagnosis of GEP-NET disease, histologically confirmed to be consistent with neuroendocrine tumor.

• - Inoperable disease (metastatic, non-candidate for surgery with curative intent, locally advanced into vessels or other critical structures, etc.).

• - Age >=18 years.

• - Must have presence of SSTR+ disease as documented by positive Ga-68-DOTATATE PET scan within 12 weeks prior to anticipated treatment.

• - ECOG Performance Status <= 1.

Design:Design:

• - Open-label, single-arm, single-center, phase I/II study evaluating the safety and efficacy of the Lu-177-DOTATATE + olaparib combination in patients with inoperable GEP-NET.

• - Each cycle consists of 30 days of olaparib, one infusion of Lu-177 followed by 4 weeks off drug.

There will be a total of 4 cycles for each patient, in both phase I and

• II. - For the Phase I portion, Lu-177-DOTATATE will be given at the fixed, FDA-approved dose regimen of 200 mCi (7.4 GBq) IV every 8 (+/- 2) weeks for a total of 4 administrations, while olaparib will be evaluated as a radiosensitizer and be dose-escalated from a starting total dose of 100 mg PO up to total dose of 600 mg PO.

Administration of olaparib will start 2 days prior to each administration of Lu-177-DOTATATE and will continue daily until 4 weeks after each administration of Lu-177-DOTATATE, and will be restarted 2 days prior to next administration of Lu-177-DOTATATE.

• - For the Phase II portion, patients will receive Lu-177-DOTATATE at a fixed dose of 200 mCi (7.4 GBq) in combination with olaparib at the MTD dose as determined in Phase I.

• - All patients will be contacted by phone within a week after each Lu-177-DOTATATE treatment for a toxicity assessment.

They will also be seen in the NIH clinic every 4 (+/- 1) weeks.

• - Approximately 30 days (+/- 1 week) after last dose of study drug, patients will be invited for a safety end of treatment (EOT) visit.

After the EOT visit, patients will continue to be invited to NIH CC every 12 weeks until 3 years after the end of treatment visit. Thereafter, all participants will be contacted yearly through any NIH approved platform to assess for disease status.
