Lutathera for Treatment of Recurrent or Progressive High-Grade CNS Tumors
What this study is about
This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Lutathera (177Lu-DOTATATE) in patients with progressive or recurrent High-Grade Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors and meningiomas that demonstrate uptake on DOTATATE PET.
View original scientific description
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Lutathera (177Lu-DOTATATE) in patients with progressive or recurrent High-Grade Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors and meningiomas that demonstrate uptake on DOTATATE PET. The drug will be given intravenously once every 8 weeks for a total of up to 4 doses over 8 months in patients aged 4 to \<12 years (Phase I) or 12 to \</=39 years (Phase II) to test its safety and efficacy, respectively.
Interventions
DRUG
LUTATHERA® (Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate)
Lutathera: IV administration maximum dose of 200 mCi once every 8 weeks (one cycle) for total of 4 cycles (8 months)
Primary outcome measures
Estimate MTD of Lutathera in pediatric CNS patients 4 to <12 years
Time frame: up to 8 months
To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Lutathera in pediatric patients between 4 and 12 to \</=39 yearsof age with recurrent and/or progressive high-grade CNS tumors or meningiomas that demonstrate uptake on DOTATATE PET.
Estimate RP2D of Lutathera in pediatric CNS patients 4 to <12 years
Time frame: up to 8 months
To estimate the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of Lutathera in pediatric patients between 4 and 12 to \</=39 years of age with recurrent and/or progressive high-grade CNS tumors or meningiomas that demonstrate uptake on DOTATATE PET.
Calculate the incidence of treatment related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 in pediatric (4 to <12 yo) CNS patients treated with Lutathera
Time frame: up to 2 months
To define and describe the toxicities of Lutathera in pediatric patients with recurrent and/or progressive high-grade CNS tumors or meningiomas that demonstrate uptake on DOTATATE PET. This will include calculating the number of participants with Lutathera-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v 5.0
Assess PFS of Lutathera in CNS patients 12 to </=39 years
Time frame: up to 6 months
To assess efficacy, evaluated by 6 month progression-free survival, of treatment with Lutathera in adolescent and young adult patients age 12 to \</=39 years with recurrent and/or progressive high-grade CNS tumors or meningiomas that demonstrate uptake on DOTATATE PET
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Exclusion criteria
- . No exceptions will be given. Imaging studies to establish eligibility must be done within three weeks prior to enrollment. All other clinical evaluations to establish eligibility (except for SST2A IHC) must be done within 7 days prior to enrollment. 1. Screening Criteria 1.1 Diagnosis Patient must have a diagnosis of primary high-grade CNS tumor (any histopathologic diagnosis that is WHO grade III-IV) or meningioma (any histologic grade) that is recurrent, progressive, or refractory. Note that patients with DIPG (based on radiographic/clinical diagnosis) who have undergone biopsy will be eligible with histologic diagnosis of grade II-IV infiltrating glioma. All tumors must have histologic verification either at the time of diagnosis or recurrence, except for patients meningioma who have not previously undergone biopsy or resection. Note: Refractory disease is defined as the presence of persistent abnormalit

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
