New alpha therapy shows promise for deadly brain cancer
NCT ID NCT07488754
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new treatment for aggressive brain tumors (glioblastoma) that uses a radioactive substance attached to a targeting molecule. The therapy is given directly into the tumor area after standard treatments like surgery and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if it can help people live longer and keep the tumor from growing back. The study involves 35 adults aged 18-80 with high-grade glioma.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * age 18-80; * histologically confirmed diffuse glioma (CNS WHO G3-G4); * after standard treatment with biopsy or resection, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy; * no sign of progression or radiation necrosis; * functional state \>70 according to Karnofsky's performance scale (KPS); * ability to give informed consent to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * low-grade glioma; * progression or recurrence defined as: deterioration of the patient's condition according to the Karnofsky Performance Scale, worsening of neurological function, progressive neurological deficit, need to initiate or increase corticosteroid dose by \>50%, progression or recurrence assessed on MRI (RANO criteria); * radiation-induced necrosis secondary to radiotherapy; may occur within the first 3 months after radiotherapy (exception: a patient after resection of radiation necrosis - not earlier than 4 weeks post-surgery, after a follow-up MRI); * need for emergency surgery (e.g., acute increase in intracranial pressure); * significant postoperative complications, e.g., KPS \< 70, wound infection, cerebrospinal fluid leak; * leak into the ventricular system \>10% during the catheter patency check; * open/ventricle-connected resection cavity; * catheter obstruction; * estimated life expectancy under 3 months; * patients without preserved logical/verbal contact; * lack of cooperation from the patient; * inability to give informed, voluntary consent to participate in the study; * patients enrolled in another medical trial; * patients who received any other investigational drug within 1 month prior to the first dose; * prior treatment with \[225Ac\]Ac-DOTA-SP; * breastfeeding or pregnant women; * severe comorbid organ diseases that, in the Investigator's opinion, significantly increase the procedural risk.
