Study Summary

This trial assesses the safety of a new drug, testing two doses to determine which is suitable for clinical trials. No therapeutic benefit is expected.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-80 with well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors who've had prior treatments and show no immediate response. They must be willing to follow the study's procedures, have a good performance status, not have other active cancers needing treatment, and agree to use effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The safety of two treatments using a radioactive substance called [212Pb] VMT-α-NET is being tested. The goal is to find the right dose for future trials. This study focuses on safety rather than therapeutic benefit.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed in the provided information but may include typical reactions related to radiation therapies such as fatigue, nausea, or localized pain at injection sites.

Trial Design

5Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 4Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
If the participants from Cohort 3 tolerate therapy, new participants are enrolled and are prescribed [212Pb] VMT-α-NET with the total radiation dose to kidneys not to exceed 1050 cGy.
Group II: Cohort 3Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
If the participants from Cohort 2 tolerate therapy, new participants are enrolled and are prescribed [212Pb] VMT-α-NET with the total radiation dose to kidneys not to exceed 810 cGy.
Group III: Cohort 2Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
If the participants from Cohort 1 tolerate therapy, new participants are enrolled and are prescribed [212Pb] VMT-α-NET with the total radiation dose to kidneys not to exceed 600 cGy.
Group IV: Cohort 1Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
This is the starting dose level for participants. Participants are prescribed [212Pb] VMT-α-NET with the total radiation dose to kidneys not to exceed 350 cGy.
Group V: -1 Dose LevelExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
This dose level is used if the starting dose level is deemed to have unacceptable toxicity. Participants are prescribed [212Pb] VMT-α-NET with the total radiation dose to kidneys not to exceed 200 cGy.
