Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a first-in-human clinical trial evaluating the safety of an alpha-radiation treatment (Lead-212 labelled Pentixather) in patients who have been diagnosed with, and previously treated, for atypical carcinoid lesions of the lung.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a study to determine what dose is acceptably safe for further testing.

In this study, participants are asked to:

* undergo SPECT/CT imaging with Lead-203 Pentixather (a radiotracer) to ensure the tumor lesions have the needed receptors
* undergo serial blood sampling for during and after the SPECT/CT scan for radiation and dosimetry calculations (to determine how much of the Lead-212 Pentixather to administer)
* receive up to 2 infusions of arginine \& lysine as a kidney protectant
* receive up to 2 infusions of Lead-212 Pentixather, 6 weeks between each infusion
* undergo imaging at 3 months post treatment to determine disease response

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

212-Lead Pentixather

Single intravenous infusion of Pentixather radiolabeled with Lead-212. Administered activity to participant is calculated from bone marrow and renal radiation constraints.

Treatment is administered in 2 cycles with 6 weeks between the cycles.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

212-Lead Pentixather

Intervention Type DRUG

Pentixather radiolabeled with 212-lead to target malignant cells with the CXCR4 ligand.

203-Lead Pentixather SPECT/CT

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Pentixather radiolabeled with 203-Lead to identify the CXCR4 ligand on the malignant lesions for dosimetric analysis and treatment planning.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* ability to provide independent consent
* adequate bone marrow function (platelet count ≥ 100,000; hemoglobin of ≥ 10 g/dL; neutrophil count ≥ 1,500 cells/mm3)
* adequate kidney function (creatinine clearance of ≥ 50 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation
* adequate liver function (serum bilirubin ≤ 3x the upper limit of normal, AST ≤ 5x the upper limit of normal, and ALT ≤ 5x the upper limit of normal)
* failed initial therapy or declined further therapy known to confer benefit
* have at least one lesion ≥ 2 cm that is positive for CXCR4 as demonstrated by Lead-203 Pentixather SPECT/CT

Exclusion Criteria

* major surgery within 4 weeks of consent
* antoher investigational agent within 4 weeks of consent
* uncontrolled illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection that would necessitate a delay in therapy or cause a hospital admission, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, hepatic cirrhosis or severe impairment, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
* prior solid organ transplant
* cytotoxic or antineoplastic therapy within 21 days of consent (42 days for nitrosoureas)
* antibody therapy within the 21 days of consent
* allogenic bone marrow or stem cell transplant, or any stem cell infusion, within 84 days of consent
* pregnancy
* breastfeeding
* refusal to comply with birth control requirements during study
