²¹²Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1 for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called ²¹²Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1, designed for individuals with certain recurrent or metastatic tumors that express GRPR. The main goal is to assess the treatment's safety and effectiveness. People with cancers such as prostate, breast, colorectal, cervical, melanoma, or non-small-cell lung cancer who have not responded to at least two treatments may be suitable candidates. Participants will assist researchers in determining the correct dosage and understanding the body's response to this new treatment. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive it.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, you cannot have had any systemic anticancer therapy within 4 weeks before starting the study, except for certain hormone therapies for prostate cancer. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the study team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that ²¹²Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that ²¹²Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1 has promising safety results from early tests. These tests, conducted in labs and on animals, found that the treatment was generally well-tolerated, meaning it didn't cause serious side effects. However, this treatment is still in the early stages of human testing.
As a Phase 1 trial, this is the first time ²¹²Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1 is being tested in humans. The main goal is to assess its safety and identify any potential side effects. While early lab results are encouraging, its safety for humans remains under investigation.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
²¹²Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1 is unique because it uses a novel radioactive isotope, lead-212 (²¹²Pb), to target cancer cells. Unlike traditional treatments like chemotherapy and external radiation, which can affect both healthy and cancerous cells, this treatment targets the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) found on certain cancer cells, providing a more precise attack. Researchers are excited because this targeted approach could potentially reduce side effects and improve effectiveness compared to existing therapies. Additionally, the treatment's ability to deliver radiation directly to the cancer cells offers a promising new mechanism of action in the fight against cancer.
What evidence suggests that ²¹²Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1 might be an effective treatment for GRPR-expressing tumors?
Research shows that ²¹²Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1, the treatment under study in this trial, could be a promising cancer therapy. In animal studies, tumors treated with this compound led to longer survival times. Specifically, animals receiving ²¹²Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1 lived about 19 weeks, compared to just 9 weeks for those without the treatment. This treatment delivers targeted radiation directly to cancer cells, offering precision and effectiveness. Although these results come from early animal studies, they provide hope for its potential effectiveness in humans with certain types of tumors.12456

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults over 18 with certain advanced cancers (like prostate, breast, colon, lung cancer) that express GRPR and have failed at least two treatments. They must have measurable disease and be in fair health as shown by specific blood counts and organ function tests. Not for those with severe heart issues, recent heart attacks or unstable angina, history of pancreatitis or pneumonitis, known allergies to the study drug's components.Inclusion Criteria
