Phase II Study of 177Lu-DOTATATE Radionuclide in Adults With Progressive or High-risk Meningioma

NCT ID: NCT03971461

Last Updated: 2025-04-22

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING
• Clinical Phase: PHASE2
• Total Enrollment: 32 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2019-05-15
• Study Completion Date: 2027-01-31

Brief Summary

This single arm, open-label study will evaluate the efficacy of Lutathera (177Lu-DOTATATE) administered intravenously every 8 weeks for a total of 4 doses in patients with progressive WHO I-III or residual high-risk Ga-DOTATATE PET-MRI positive meningioma. Ga-DOTATATE PET-MRI scans will be obtained prior to initiation of Lutathera treatment and 6 months after the initiation of Lutathera treatment. The latter will be performed within the 14 days prior to the last dose of Lutathera treatment.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. Male or female subjects aged ≥ 18 years.

2. Karnofsky Performance Status ≥ 60.

3. Histologically confirmed diagnosis WHO grade I-III meningioma:

a. For grade I meningioma, subjects must have: i. Progressive disease after at least surgical resection and radiotherapy, as defined as an increase in size of the measurable primary lesion (bidirectional area) on imaging by 25% or more between scans separated by no more than 12 months.

or ii. Progressive residual tumor after maximal safe resection, be located at or near critical organs at-risk and considered to be high-risk for radiation injury by the treating investigator. Prior external beam radiotherapy is not required for these subjects.

b. For Grade II or III meningioma, subjects must have either: i. Progressive disease after at least surgical resection and radiotherapy, as defined as an increase in size of the measurable primary lesion (bi-directional area) on imaging by 25% or more between scans separated by no more than 12 months or ii. Residual measurable disease after surgery without requirement of progression.

4. Positive 68Ga-DOTATATE uptake on PET-MRI.

1. Positive uptake is defined as uptake higher than the background and SUV ratios adjusted to the liver and spleen uptake (adopted from Krenning score).

2. 68Ga-DOTATATE uptake in target lesions should be Krenning score ≥ 2.

5. Presence of measurable disease defined as at least one lesion measuring ≥10 mm in at least one dimension by contrast-enhanced MRI performed within 30 days prior to study registration.

6. Multifocal disease is allowed but is limited to ≤ 3 measurable intracranial mass lesions on the most recent post-contrast MRI.

7. Any neurological symptoms must be stable for at least 28 days prior to enrollment and patients should not require steroids to control neurological symptoms.

8. There is no limit on the number of prior surgeries, radiation therapy, radiosurgery treatments or systemically administered therapeutic agents.

9. For patients treated with external beam radiation, interstitial brachytherapy or radiosurgery, an interval ≥24 weeks must have elapsed from completion from these therapies to registration unless there is histopathologic confirmation of recurrent tumor or there is new enhancing tumor outside the radiation field (beyond the high dose region or the 80% isodose line).

10. An interval of ≥28 days (or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter) from prior cytotoxic chemotherapy (6 weeks from nitrosoureas), biologic agent, investigational agent or any other systemic agent prescribed for the purpose of treating meningioma.

11. An interval of ≥28 days from craniotomy and ≥7 days from stereotactic biopsy.

12. Availability of a paraffin-embedded archival tumor block from most recent tumor resection sufficient to generate at minimum 8 unstained slides but preferably up to 25 unstained slides; or, if a paraffin tumor block is unavailable, at minimum 8 unstained slides but preferably up to 25 unstained slides.

a. Positive SSTR2 expression in the most recent tumor specimen must be confirmed by central pathology review.

13. Patients must be willing and able to undergo regular MRI scans of the brain.

15. Adequate organ and bone marrow function as defined below (within 21 days of treatment initiation):

1. White blood cell (WBC) ≥ 2,000/mm3

2. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000/mm3

3. Platelet count ≥ 75,000/mm3

4. Hemoglobin ≥ 8 gm/dL

5. AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤ 3 x laboratory upper limit of normal (ULN)

6. Creatinine clearance (measured or calculated) ≥ 50 mL/min OR creatinine levels > 150 μMol/L (1.7 mg/dL)

7. Total serum bilirubin ≤ 3 X ULN (except participants with Gilbert's Syndrome, who can have a total bilirubin ≤ 5 X ULN)

8. Serum albumin level of more than 3.0 g/dL, unless the prothrombin time value was within the normal range

16. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and men able to father a child must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control, abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in the study, she must inform her treating physician immediately.

17. Able to understand and willing to sign an IRB approved written informed consent document.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patients with a clinical diagnosis of NF2 (either by NIH or Manchester criteria) or with a molecular diagnosis of NF2.

2. Patients with radiation-associated meningiomas.

3. Receiving any other investigational agent which would be considered as a treatment for the primary neoplasm. This includes treatment with Somatostatin LAR within 4 weeks prior to treatment, or any patient receiving treatment with short-acting Octreotide that cannot be interrupted for greater than 24 hours before treatment.

4. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy at any time prior to registration.

5. Known hypersensitivity to somatostatin analogues or any component of the 68Ga- DOTATATE or 177Lu-DOTATATE formulations.

6. Known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment within 2 years of start of study drug. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, and in situ cervical cancer that has undergone potentially curative therapy.

7. Current or planned participation in another study of an investigational agent or investigational device.

8. Active infection requiring intravenous therapy with antibiotics.

9. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, clinically significant (i.e. active) cardiovascular disease: cerebral vascular accident/stroke (< 6 months prior to enrollment), myocardial infarction (< 6 months prior to enrollment), congestive heart failure (≥ NYHA class II), unstable angina pectoris, or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication.

10. Known history of testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

11. Active Hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection at screening (positive HBV surface antigen or HCV RNA if anti-HCV antibody screening test is positive).

12. Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric conditions (within the past year) including recent or active suicidal ideation or behavior, or laboratory abnormalities that may increase the risk associated with study participation or treatment on study or may interfere with the interpretation of study results.

13. Pregnant and/or breastfeeding patients. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative pregnancy test within 14 days of study entry.
