Shown are all adverse events that were reported in at least 10% of the patients in the 177Lu-Dotatate group, with the exception of neutropenia, which was reported in less than 10% of the patients in the 177Lu-Dotatate group. For the individual events, the system organ classes in the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) hierarchy are shown in bold and are followed by the MedDRA preferred terms (not bold). The safety population included all patients who underwent randomization and received at least one dose of trial treatment.

P values were calculated with the use of Fisher's exact text.
