Can a radioactive injection target bone tumors? a Dose-Finding trial aims to find out
NCT ID NCT06008483
First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing an experimental drug called CycloSam (153-Sm-DOTMP), a radioactive compound that delivers radiation directly to bone tumors when injected. The study aims to find the safest dose in people aged 15 to 75 with solid tumors that have spread to the bone, including certain cancers like prostate, breast, lung, and sarcomas. Participants receive two doses, and researchers monitor for side effects and tumor response.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a radiopharmaceutical called CycloSam (153-Sm-DOTMP) that delivers radiation directly to bone tumors when injected
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with solid tumors that have spread to the bone, potentially slowing tumor growth.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 5 participants, focused on finding a safe dose. It is not designed to prove effectiveness, and there is a risk of serious side effects from radiation.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects will be between the ages of 15 and 75, inclusive. 2. Subjects must have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of a solid tumor metastatic to bone, or a histologically confirmed diagnosis of a solid tumor to the bone or metastatic to the bone. 3. Subjects must have measurable disease on anatomic imaging that is also avid for phosphonate compounds as demonstrated by a positive 99mTc diphosphonate bone scan. Not all lesions must be positive on bone scan. 4. Adequate organ function, including: i. Adequate renal function, defined as a measured creatinine clearance \>70 mL/min/1.73 m2 or normal radioisotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR). ii. Adequate hematologic function, defined as a platelet count \>100,000 cells/mm3 and an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>1,000 cells/mm3. 5. Life expectancy of at least eight weeks. 6. Karnofsky performance status \>50%. 7. Subjects must have adequately recovered from the effects of any prior chemotherapy, as determined by the treating physician and study team, based in part on organ function defined above. Toxicities from previous therapies must have recovered to CTCAE v5.0 grade ≤1. Subjects with Grade 2 anemia per CTCAE v5.0 will be permitted as long as the subject has normal cardiac function. 8. Adequate cardiac function. Subjects with previously identified cardiac disease will be eligible, as 153Sm-DOTMP is not expected to cause cardiac dysfunction and is only expected to result in very transient hypocalcemia. 9. A stem cell product collected either by peripheral stem cell mobilization or bone marrow harvest prior to the infusion of CycloSam® must be available, prior to trial entry. A minimum of 2 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg ideal body weight are required. 10. Female subjects of child-bearing potential (defined as premenopausal and capable of becoming pregnant) must have a negative serum pregnancy test at the Screening visit. Females must be surgically sterile, postmenopausal for at least one year prior to Screening (no other medical cause involved) with a Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) level of greater than 40 mIU/mL or must be using a highly effective method of birth control and agree to its use for at least 30 days following the last dose of 153Sm-DOTMP. Highly effective methods of contraceptive are defined as tubal ligation or an approved hormonal contraceptive such as oral contraceptives, patches, implants, injections, rings, or hormonally-impregnated intrauterine device. 11. Male subjects with partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use highly effective methods of contraception for at least 90 days after the last dose of 153Sm-DOTMP. 12. The subject and/or the subject's legally authorized guardian, if the subject is a minor, must acknowledge in writing that informed consent to become a study subject has been obtained, in accordance with institutional policies approved by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. 13. Subjects must have previously received effective treatment for their underlying disease and have no potentially curative options available. 14. The concurrent use of hormonal therapies or bisphosphonates is acceptable, provided the latter do not render target lesions invisible on 99mTc bone scan. Subjects will have the option to re-screen up to once more after seven days if they do not initially meet all of the inclusion criteria Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subject is pregnant or breastfeeding. 2. Subject is sexually active and does not agree to use accepted, effective forms of contraceptive. 3. Subject has received prior radiotherapy to all known areas of current active disease. 4. Subject has a body mass index (BMI) \> 50 kg/m2.
