Alpha-radiation Imaging for Neuroendocrine Tumors

Phase < 1
Waitlist Available
Research Sponsored by Yusuf Menda
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Adequate performance status (ECOG of 0 or 1; or KPS of ≥70)
Aged ≥ 18 years at the time of study drug administration
Must not have
History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to [90Y]DOTA-tyr3-Octreotide, Octreoscan®, or [68Ga]Octreotide.
Lactating individuals who decline to withhold breastfeeding their child. As the effects of [203Pb]VMT-α-NET on the infant are unknown and relatively long half-life, women may not resume breast feeding for the current child.

Summary

This trial is to see if a new imaging technique can detect neuroendocrine tumors, which will help in treating them with alpha radiation therapy.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors, confirmed by pathology, that are positive for somatostatin receptors and measurable on imaging. Participants must be able to consent, follow study procedures, have a good performance status, and not have severe illnesses or conditions affecting study compliance.
What is being tested?
[203Pb]VMT-α-NET is being tested to see if it can identify neuroendocrine tumors using SPECT/CT imaging. This trial is the preliminary step before testing alpha radiation therapy for these types of tumors.
What are the potential side effects?
As this is a first-in-human trial for [203Pb]VMT-α-NET, specific side effects are unknown but may include typical reactions to radiopharmaceutical agents such as nausea or allergic reactions.
