Lead-212 PSV359 for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests two treatments, [203Pb]Pb-PSV359 and [212Pb]Pb-PSV359, in individuals with solid tumors positive for a protein called FAP, found in certain cancers. The trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of these treatments. Participants will first receive [203Pb]Pb-PSV359 for imaging, followed by [212Pb]Pb-PSV359, a targeted radiotherapy, for treatment. This study suits individuals with confirmed advanced or spreading solid tumors who have not responded to standard treatments. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new therapy.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial protocol 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 trial.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research shows that two treatments, \[203Pb\]Pb-PSV359 and \[212Pb\]Pb-PSV359, are being tested for safety in patients with solid tumors that have a specific protein called FAP (Fibroblast Activation Protein). Currently, no human safety results are available for \[203Pb\]Pb-PSV359, so its safety for people remains unknown.
For \[212Pb\]Pb-PSV359, the study is in its early stages, focusing on finding a safe dose. This phase typically involves a small group of participants to identify any immediate side effects. The primary goal is to ensure the treatment's safety and determine the best dose for future studies.
Since these are early trials, detailed safety information is not yet available. However, the trials are designed to closely monitor participants for any side effects, prioritizing safety before advancing to larger studies.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about [203Pb]Pb-PSV359 and [212Pb]Pb-PSV359 because these treatments offer a novel approach to targeting FAP-expressing cancers. Unlike traditional cancer therapies, these compounds use radioactive isotopes like Lead-203 and Lead-212 to specifically target and destroy cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. This targeted approach not only promises to enhance treatment effectiveness but also reduces the side effects typically associated with conventional cancer treatments. Additionally, the imaging capability of [203Pb]Pb-PSV359 allows for precise tracking of the cancer's response to therapy, providing a significant advantage in monitoring and adjusting treatment as needed.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for FAP-positive solid tumors?
In this trial, [203Pb]Pb-PSV359 helps doctors visualize tumors expressing the Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP), aiding in cancer localization within the body. Participants will receive [203Pb]Pb-PSV359 for imaging purposes. Meanwhile, [212Pb]Pb-PSV359 is administered to other participants for treatment, delivering radiation directly to cancer cells by specifically attaching to FAP. Early studies suggest this targeted method might enhance treatment effectiveness by better reaching the tumors. Both treatments in this trial aim for precision, focusing only on cancer cells and sparing healthy ones, which is a promising approach in cancer therapy.12345
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults over 18 with advanced or metastatic solid tumors, such as cancers of the head and neck, colorectal, ovarian, gastric, esophageal, stomach or pancreas. Participants must have a life expectancy over 3 months, good organ function and an ECOG status of 0-1. They should have progressive disease despite standard treatments or no available standard treatment.Inclusion Criteria
