Radioactive drug targets hard-to-treat neuroendocrine tumors in early trial

NCT ID NCT07661420

First seen Jun 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026

Summary

This phase 1 trial tests a radioactive drug called 211At-MABG in 16 adults with advanced neuroendocrine cancers, including pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. The drug delivers radiation directly to cancer cells that show up on a special scan. The main goal is to see if the treatment schedule is feasible and safe, not yet to cure the disease.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

211At-MABG (a radioactive drug that targets cancer cells)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with advanced neuroendocrine cancers that have stopped responding to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early phase 1 trial with only 16 participants, so it is primarily testing safety and dosing. The drug may not shrink tumors or may cause side effects from radiation.
