Experimental Treatment
Group I: 90Y-DOTA-tyr3-OctreotideExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients will receive 3 doses of 90YDOTATOC followed by 90Y-DOTATOC PET scans, with 6 -8 weeks between doses. They will be followed for 6-9 months after the last treatment dose. CT or MRI scans will be given at the 3 month and 6-9 month followups plus a 68Ga-DOTATOC or DOTATATE PET scan at the 6-9 month followup. The exact dose of 90YDOTATOC therapy for each patient will be determined by dosimetry.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Who meets the qualifications to take part in this test?

"The ideal candidate for this medical trial would be suffering from neuroblastoma and between 6 months to 9 years old. Around 46 patients are needed for the study."

Answered by AI

How many volunteers are being sought for this experiment?

"This specific trial is not admitting patients at the moment. However, it was first posted on September 29th, 2017 and edited as recently as October 6th, 2022. If you're interested in other trials, there are presently 426 trials actively admitting patients with neuroblastoma and 29 trials for 90Y-DOTA-tyr3-Octreotide actively searching for participants."

Answered by AI

Does this research project require participants to be of a certain age?

"The age range for patients that this trial is recruiting are those who are older than 6 months and below 90 years old."

Answered by AI

What conditions does 90Y-DOTA-tyr3-Octreotide commonly help ameliorate?

"When oral administration is not an option, 90Y-DOTA-tyr3-Octreotide can be used as a treatment for panhypopituitarism and pituitary dwarfism."

Answered by AI

Has there been any research like this before?

"Since 2007, 90Y-DOTA-tyr3-Octreotide has been under investigation in 29 clinical trials. These international studies, which are hosted in 62 cities across 14 countries, were launched after the drug's Phase 4 approval in 2007. The first study was sponsored by Baxter Healthcare Corporation and included 4640 participants."

Answered by AI

Has this medication been cleared by the FDA?

"While there is some evidence from Phase 2 clinical trials to support the safety of 90Y-DOTA-tyr3-Octreotide, this medication has not yet been proven effective."

Answered by AI

Are there any available slots for volunteers in this research project?

"This particular clinical trial is no longer recruiting patients. The original posting date was September 29th, 2017 and the last edit was on October 6th, 2022. If you are looking for other trials, 426 studies related to neuroblastoma are currently admitting patients and 29 trials concerning 90Y-DOTA-tyr3-Octreotide are also seeking participants."

Answered by AI

Are there other scientific papers that mention 90Y-DOTA-tyr3-Octreotide?

"At the moment, 29 studies are underway that involve 90Y-DOTA-tyr3-Octreotide. Of these active trials, 6 have progressed to Phase 3 testing. Most of the research being conducted on 90Y-DOTA-tyr3-Octreotide is happening in Los Angeles but there are a total of 105 clinical trial sites across the United States."
