Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Able and willing to provide written informed consent and to comply with the clinical study protocol (CSP).
  • For females of childbearing potential, a negative pregnancy test must be documented prior to enrolment.
  • For females of childbearing potential: agreement to use at least one of the following highly effective (failure rate < 1%) methods of contraception during the treatment period and for at least 9 months if they receive Radspherin®: 1) Total abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient), periodic abstinence (e.g. calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. 2) Female sterilisation (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy), total hysterectomy, or tubal ligation at least 6 weeks before enrolment. In case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow-up hormone level assessment. 3) Use of oral (oestrogen and progesterone), injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception or placement of an intrauterine device or intrauterine system, or other forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure rate < 1%), for example hormone vaginal ring or transdermal hormone contraception. In case of use of oral contraception women should have been stable on the same pill for a minimum of 3 months before taking study treatment. Note: In addition to the use of one highly effective method of contraception as listed above, a condom is required for all male partners during the treatment period and for at least 9 months after the dose of IMP, unless vasectomised at least 6 months prior to enrolment.
  • For non-sterile males whose female partner is of childbearing potential: agreement to use condom during the treatment period and for at least 6 months if they received Radspherin®. The female partner should use at least one of the following highly effective (failure rate < 1%) methods of contraception during the same period: 1) Total abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient), periodic abstinence (e.g. calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. 2) Female sterilisation (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy), total hysterectomy, or tubal ligation at least 6 weeks before enrolment. In case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow-up hormone level assessment. 3) Use of oral (oestrogen and progesterone), injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception or placement of an intrauterine device or intrauterine system, or other forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure rate < 1%), for example hormone vaginal ring or transdermal hormone contraception. In case of use of oral contraception women should have been stable on the same pill for a minimum of 3 months before taking study treatment.
  • Non-sterile males must agree to refrain from donating sperm for the entire treatment period and for up to 6 months after the dose of IMP.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.

You likely can't join if

  • Presence of peritoneal metastasis originating from appendix vermiformis, other synchronous metastatic lesions, symptomatic central nervous system metastases. Suspicion of non-regional (e.g. retroperitoneal, thoracic) metastatic lymph nodes on imaging.
  • Any condition or illness that, in the opinion of the investigator or the medical monitor, would compromise the safety of the patient or interfere with the evaluation of the safety of the investigational medicinal product.
  • Any patient who, in the investigator’s opinion, was not able to comply with study procedures. Presence of any medical or psychological condition that would preclude participation in the study or compromise the ability of the patient to give informed consent.
  • Known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients in the study drug.
  • Rectal carcinoma previously treated with pelvic radiation.
  • Suspicion of peritoneal leak, shunt, or otherwise suspected atypical target compartment pharmacokinetics, based on investigator’s judgement, patient history and diagnostic images.
