- For prior therapy or sequential treatment with SoC, theprotocol defined washout periods apply before starting the targeted RPT
- If the child has previously received anthracyclines or external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to the chest: An ejection fraction of ≥55% based on an echocardiogram performed within 4 weeks prior to enrollment
- Written informed consent from parent(s) and/or legal guardian(s) and written assent from participant in accordance with local regulations, prior to registration or any trial-related screening procedures
- Age ≥ 24 months and < 18 years at the time of enrollment into this trial (enrollment will be opened by age groups sequentially; see trial design for more details)
- Tumor which is relapsed or is refractory to at least one line of prior systemic antineoplastic therapy (depending on the tumor type one line of therapy may involve multimodality treatment).

- Tumor progression according to Investigator judgment
- SSTR expression confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) of a tumor histology sample (biopsy or surgical sample). An existing histology report showing SSTR positivity by IHC is acceptable. SSTR IHC positive results is mandatory before moving forward with the rest of the screening assessments in particular the SSTR SPECT/CT or PET/CT imaging. No further screening evaluation should take place in case of a negative IHC result and participant should be considered not eligible for this trial; this is to limit exposure to unnecessary SSTR SPECT/CT or PET/CT or PET/MRI ionizing radiations.
- Radioactivity uptake within the primary tumor or metastatic tumor sites measured by locally available 111In-based, 99mTc-based, or 68Ga-based SSTR SPECT/CT or PET/CT imaging or PET/MRI, which is higher than the liver uptake, and performed within 2 months prior to informed consent. (Planar images only are not accepted). If not already available, this SSTR imaging can only take place after a positive result is observed by IHC (see inclusion criterium 5 above).
- Anatomical/functional imaging (MRI and/or CT and/or PET/CT and/or PET/MRI and/or SPECT/CT scans depending on tumor type) of the primary tumor and metastatic sites within 2 months prior to enrollment. At least one measurable lesion should be present. All target lesions and lesions considered dominant must also be SSTR-positive, based on Investigator judgement
- Karnofsky ≥ 50% (for participants > 16 years of age), Lansky ≥ 50% (for participants ≤ 16 years of age) at the time of screening
- Participants must have recovered from the acute treatment related toxicities (defined as ≤ Grade 1 if not defined in eligibility criteria, excluding alopecia, stable treated electrolyte abnormalities on replacement and stable treated hypothyroidism) of all prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, or any other treatment modality prior to entering this trial
