Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 High Grade Glioma

New treatment option for High Grade Glioma

Official title Lutathera for Treatment of Recurrent or Progressive High-Grade CNS Tumors

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05278208

What this study is testing

What is LUTATHERA® (Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate)?

LUTATHERA® (Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate) is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for high grade glioma.

Also referred to as Lutathera.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
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.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • Time commitment: about 8 months
