New Alpha-Particle therapy targets Hard-to-Treat tumors

NCT ID NCT05636618

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new drug called [212Pb]VMT-α-NET, which delivers a powerful type of radiation (alpha particles) directly to tumor cells that have a specific marker (SSTR2). The trial includes 300 adults with advanced neuroendocrine tumors or meningioma that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to find the safest dose and see if the treatment can shrink tumors.

Active substance
[212Pb]VMT-α-NET (a radioactive drug that delivers alpha particles directly to tumor cells)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors or meningioma that have not responded to other therapies.
What could go wrong
