What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early-phase study tested a new radioactive drug called 177Lu-CTR-FAPI in 12 people with advanced solid tumors (breast cancer, sarcoma, or thyroid cancer) that had spread and no longer responded to standard treatments. The main goals were to see if the drug is safe and how it spreads in the body. The drug targets a protein called FAP, which is found in high amounts on these tumors, aiming to deliver radiation directly to cancer cells.

Inclusion Criteria: * Pathological diagnosis confirmed metastatic solid tumors (breast cancer, sarcoma, and some thyroid cancers, etc.) that failed standard treatment or lacked standard treatment * Age: 75 ≥ age ≥ 18 years * ECOG score: 0 - 2 * 68Ga-CTR-FAPI PET/CT confirmed high expression of FAP in the tumor (more than 50% of the lesions with SUVmax ≥ 10) * The FAP immunohistochemical score of tumor cells is ≥ 2 (except for thyroid cancer) * There is at least one measurable lesion (RECIST 1.1) * Organ/marrow functions meet the specified thresholds, and there are no severe electrocardiogram abnormalities (QTcF ≤ 470ms) Exclusion Criteria: * There is brain metastasis or other central nervous system lesions. * The expected survival period is less than 6 months. * Within 4 weeks before administration, the patient has received chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or other anti-tumor treatments or investigational drugs. * The patient has previously received other systemic radionuclide therapy (excluding 131I treatment for thyroid cancer). * There is uncontrolled pleural effusion, ascites, severe cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases, or infection.
