Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is an effective treatment for patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms. The aim of this study was to identify clinical and treatment parameters associated with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Methods: All patients treated from October 2002 until March 2016 at the Zentralklinik Bad Berka with at least 3 administrations of PRRT (maximal interval of 6 mo between consecutive administrations) were included. Data were collected in 5 categories: general patient characteristics, tumor characteristics, prior treatments, radioisotope used for PRRT, and blood chemistry. Survival was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to identify parameters associated with PFS and OS. Results: In total, 782 patients were included, with a median follow-up of 36 mo. The median PFS and OS were 22 and 53 mo, respectively. Parameters associated with lower PFS in the multivariate analysis were a Ki-67 of more than 5%, previous treatment with interferon-α and chemotherapy, presence of diabetes, and chromogranin-A (CgA) levels higher than 336 μg/L. Parameters associated with lower OS were a Ki-67 of more than 10%, performance status of at least 1, previous chemotherapy and ablation, and CgA levels higher than 112 μg/L. Conclusion: Higher Ki-67 values, as well as higher CgA levels and previous chemotherapy, had a negative outcome on both PFS and OS. Furthermore, PFS was negatively associated with previous interferon-α treatment and diabetes, whereas lower OS was related to prior ablation and higher performance status.
