Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment on people who have a specific type of lung cancer. The goal is to see if it is safe.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with atypical carcinoid lung lesions who've tried or declined other treatments. They must have a lesion ≥2 cm that's positive for CXCR4, can consent independently, and have good liver and kidney function. People with recent major surgery, other recent therapies, pregnant or breastfeeding women, those not using birth control, or with uncontrolled illnesses are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a new alpha-radiation treatment called Lead-212 labelled Pentixather on patients who've had previous treatments for lung carcinoid tumors. It also uses Lead-203 Pentixather SPECT/CT imaging to identify suitable lesions before treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As this is a first-in-human trial of an alpha-radiation therapy, potential side effects may include radiation-related symptoms such as nausea and fatigue; however specific side effects will be monitored closely given the novel nature of the treatment.
