Somatostatin-Receptors (SSTR)-Agonist [212Pb]VMT-alpha-NET in Metastatic or Inoperable SSTR+ Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumor and Pheochromocytoma/Paraganglioma Previously Treated With Systemic Targeted Radioligand Therapy
Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Summary
Background: Gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (GI NET) are a type of cancer that affects the stomach and intestines; pheochromocytoma/paragangliomas (PPGL) are tumors that grow in or near the adrenal glands. Both of these types of tumor have high levels of a protein called somatostatin receptors (SSTR) on their surfaces. Researchers want to test a treatment that targets SSTR. Objective: To test a drug (\[212Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET) in people with GI NET or PPGL. The drug has 2 components: a protein to bind to SSTR and a radioactive agent to kill the cancer cells. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years or older with GI NET or PPGL tumors that have spread and cannot be removed with surgery. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam, with imaging scans, blood tests, and tests of their heart function. \[212Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET is given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein (infusion). Treatment will be given in four 8 week cycles. Participants will receive the drug on the first day of each cycle. They will remain in the clinic at least 4 hours after each infusion and may need to stay in the hospital for up to 48 hour for monitoring and testing. They will have blood tests every week of each cycle. Some participants will also get a related study drug (\[203Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET). They will receive this drug a few days before the first 2 cycles. At 4, 24, and 48 hours after each infusion, they will have whole body scans. These scans will show where the study drug went in their body. Follow-up visits will continue for 10 years....

Interventions
68Ga-DOTATATE
68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT whole-body scanning will be done at target dose of 5 mCi. The whole-body PET/CT scan will be started approximately 60 minutes after the tracer injection and will take up to 2 hours.
[203Pb]VMT-alpha-NET
\[203Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET (6 mCi) will be given IV at 7 days prior.
[212Pb]VMT-alpha-NET
\[212Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET will be given IV on Day 1 of every cycle for 4 cycles total at escalating doses in Phase I and at MTD during Phase II. One cycle is 8 weeks.
