The theranostic principle is based on the use of radiolabeled compounds which can be applied for diagnostic molecular imaging and targeted delivery of radiation to the tumor. Gastrointestinal tumors (GIT), including gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NEN) also express a phenotypic biomarker called prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), thereby rendering it a potential diagnostic (through positron emission tomography (PET) scan imaging) and therapeutic target for radioligand therapy. Aim is to evaluate whether PSMA-directed in-vivo imaging can be also applied to GEP-NEN patients to determine if i) biopsy-derived tissue of newly diagnosed patients exhibit a PSMA expression profile, ii) PSMA-PET shows upregulated PSMA expression in-vivo, iii) such a molecular imaging approach identifies more disease sites relative to conventional imaging, and iv) if the PSMA PET signal predicts further clinical course and outcome under guideline-compatible treatment.

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 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. |
NCT05547919 |
|
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. |
