Tiny study hints at imaging tool to predict meningioma treatment success

NCT ID NCT06614205

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This completed study looked at 11 patients with meningioma (a type of brain tumor) who received a treatment called 177Lu-DOTATATE. Researchers used special scans to measure how much radiation the tumors absorbed, and checked if that could predict whether patients would survive without the tumor growing for at least 6 months. The goal is to see if this imaging method can help guide treatment decisions.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

177Lu-DOTATATE

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors predict which patients will benefit most from 177Lu-DOTATATE treatment for meningioma.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, completed study with only 11 patients. Results may not apply to all patients, and the imaging method may not reliably predict outcomes.
