NCT ID NCT05130255

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial tested a two-step radioimmunotherapy combining GD2-SADA and 177Lu-DOTA in patients with recurrent or metastatic solid tumors, including small cell lung cancer, high-risk neuroblastoma, sarcoma, and melanoma. The goal was to assess safety and find the right dose. The study was terminated early after enrolling 23 participants.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

GD2-SADA and 177Lu-DOTA (two-step radioimmunotherapy)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for patients with hard-to-treat cancers that express GD2.

What could go wrong

This was an early, terminated Phase 1 trial with only 23 participants, so results are limited. The approach may not prove effective or safe in larger studies.
