Combination of Everolimus and 177Lu-DOTATATE in the Treatment of Grades 2 and 3 Refractory Meningioma: a Phase IIb Clinical Trial

Study Purpose

Meningioma, the most common intracranial primary tumor of the central nervous system predominantly affects people in their fifties. Meningiomas are generally subdivided into two entities: a priori non-aggressive meningiomas (grade 1), and meningiomas at high risk of aggressive behavior (grade 2/atypical and 3/anaplastic). The current conventional treatments for meningioma are surgery and radiotherapy. When these treatments are no longer feasible, meningiomas are considered refractory irrespectively of grade, and in these rare entities, the therapeutic arsenal is reduced to the few treatments that have shown limited efficacy. Refractory, and particularly grades 2 and 3 meningiomas, have very poor prognoses with a progression-free survival at 6 months (PFS-6) of 26%. The European Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology group (RANO) recommends that in any new, grades 2 and 3 meningioma, therapy that achieves a PFS-6 >30% in phase II trials be considered promising. In Nuclear Medicine, Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-DOTATATE, currently used on a compassionate basis in refractory meningioma, deploys an octreotide-like effect, and appears very promising, with preliminary PFS-6 of 94% and an overall survival at 12 months (OS-12) of 88% in grade 1 meningioma. However, its PFS-6 is reduced to 28% with an OS-12 of 65% in WHO grades 2 and 3 meningioma. Recently the non-radiolabeled octreotide and everolimus combination however achieved a PFS-6 of 55% and an OS-12 of 75% in a population of 90% WHO grades 2 and 3 meningioma.

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.

NCT06126588
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

Meningioma, the most common intracranial primary tumor of the central nervous system predominantly affects people in their fifties. Meningiomas are generally subdivided into two entities: a priori non-aggressive meningiomas (grade 1), and meningiomas at high risk of aggressive behavior (grade 2/atypical and 3/anaplastic).

When these treatments are no longer feasible, meningiomas are considered refractory irrespectively of grade, and in these rare entities, the therapeutic arsenal is reduced to the few treatments that have shown limited efficacy. Refractory, and particularly grades 2 and 3 meningiomas, have very poor prognoses with a progression-free survival at 6 months (PFS-6) of 26%. The European Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology group (RANO) recommends that in any new, grades 2 and 3 meningioma, therapy that achieves a PFS-6 >30% in phase II trials be considered promising. In Nuclear Medicine, Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-DOTATATE, currently used on a compassionate basis in refractory meningioma, deploys an octreotide-like effect, and appears very promising, with preliminary PFS-6 of 94% and an overall survival at 12 months (OS-12) of 88% in grade 1 meningioma. However, its PFS-6 is reduced to 28% with an OS-12 of 65% in WHO grades 2 and 3 meningioma. Recently the non-radiolabeled octreotide and everolimus combination however achieved a PFS-6 of 55% and an OS-12 of 75% in a population of 90% WHO grades 2 and 3 meningioma. Our research hypothesis is that 177Lu-DOTATATE PRRT, a vector targeting somatostatin type 2 receptor (octreotide type) with a high-energy β-emitting radioactive label, when combined with everolimus, an mTOR protein inhibitor with radiosensitizing properties, will potentiate the effects of the non-radiolabeled octreotide + everolimus combination and increase PFS-6 in refractory grades 2 and 3 meningioma patients.
