Summary

This trial aims to test the safety and proper dosage of a new radioligand therapy called [177Lu]Lu-FF58 for patients with advanced tumors that express specific proteins. The study will

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with advanced or metastatic tumors, specifically adenocarcinoma, glioblastoma, pancreatic cancer, and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. Participants must have at least one measurable tumor lesion that absorbs a diagnostic agent seen on PET scans.
What is being tested?
[177Lu]Lu-FF58, a new radioligand therapy targeting certain proteins in tumors (integrins αvβ3 and αvβ5), is being tested for safety and proper dosage. The imaging agent [68Ga]Ga-FF58's ability to detect tumors will also be evaluated.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to radiation exposure such as nausea, fatigue, or local irritation at the injection site. As this is an early-phase study assessing safety, additional unexpected side effects could occur.
