Treatment of Recurrent or Progressive Meningiomas With the Radiolabelled Somatostatin Antagonist 177Lu-satoreotide

Study Purpose

Meningiomas are known to be the most frequent intracranial neoplasms and account for approx. 25-33% of all intracranial tumours.Targeted radionuclide therapy with radiolabelled somatostatin analogues, also called Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT), has proven to be an effective treatment in metastatic intestinal neuroendocrine tumours and is currently used in advanced, recurrent or progressive meningiomas with promising results. In this study, the therapeutic index of a standard and newly developed radiolabelled somatostatin antagonist will be evaluated and compared in PRRT. In a second step, safety and efficacy of the latter will be assessed.

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04997317
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

The somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (sstr2) has been identifies as a peptide hormone receptor that is highly expressed in 70

  • - 100% of meningiomas representing an attractive target for so called "theranostic" applications combining molecular imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy with radiolabelled somatostatin analogues.
The newly developed radiolabelled somatostatin antagonist 177Lu-DOTA-JR11 has been shown to exert a high binding affinity to sstr2 suggesting a higher efficacy in the treatment of advanced meningiomas than the currently available somatostatin analogues (e.g. 177Lu-DOTATOC, 177Lu-DOTATATE).Therefore, the hypothesis has been postulated that 177LuDOTA-JR11 has an improved therapeutic index (tumour-to-dose limiting organ dose ratios) compared to 177Lu-DOTATOC, and that it can be safely used for PRRT in patients with advanced, recurrent or progressive meningiomas. The aim of this 2-step Phase 0 / Phase I/II study is to a) evaluate in the same meningioma patients the therapeutic index (tumour-to-dose limiting organ dose ratios) of 177Lu-DOTA-JR11 in comparison to 177Lu-DOTATOC and b) based on the previous results, to evaluate safety and preliminary efficacy of PRRT with 177Lu-DOTA-JR11.
