Sumario:<sup>177</sup>Lu-DOTATATE for neuroendocrine tumours is considered a low-toxicity treatment and may therefore be combined with other pharmaceuticals to potentiate its efficacy. One approach is to add a poly-[ADP-ribose]-polymerase (PARP) inhibitor to decrease the ability of tumour cells to repair <sup>177</sup>Lu-induced DNA damage. To decrease the risk of side effects, the sequencing should be optimized according to the tumour-to-normal tissue enhanced dose ratio (<i>TNED</i>). The aim of this study was to investigate how to enhance <sup>177</sup>Lu-DOTATATE by optimal timing of the addition of a PARP inhibitor. Biokinetic modelling was performed based on the absorbed dose to the bone marrow, kidneys and tumour; determined from SPECT/CT and planar images from 17 patients treated with <sup>177</sup>Lu-DOTATATE. To investigate the theoretical enhanced biological effect of a PARP inhibitor during <sup>177</sup>Lu-DOTATATE treatment, the concept of relative biological effectiveness (<i>RBE</i>) was used, and PARP inhibitor administration was simulated over different time intervals. The absorbed dose rate for the tumour tissue demonstrated an initial increase phase until 12 h after infusion followed by a slow decrease. In contrast, the bone marrow showed a rapid initial dose rate decrease. Twenty-eight days after infusion of <sup>177</sup>Lu-DOTATATE, the full absorbed dose to the bone marrow and kidney was reached. Using an <i>RBE</i> value of 2 for both the tumour and normal tissues, the <i>TNED</i> was increased compared to <sup>177</sup>Lu-DOTATATE alone. According to the modelling, the PARP inhibitor should be introduced approximately 24 h after the start of <sup>177</sup>Lu-DOTATATE treatment and be continued for up to four weeks to optimize the <i>TNED</i>. Based on these results, a phase I trial assessing the combination of olaparib and <sup>177</sup>Lu-DOTATATE in somatostatin receptor-positive tumours was launched in 2020 (NCT04375267).
