New combo aims to boost radiation therapy for neuroendocrine tumors
NCT ID NCT05724108
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase II trial tests whether adding the drug triapine to standard radioactive therapy (lutetium Lu 177 dotatate) helps shrink or slow the growth of metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. About 94 adults with well-differentiated, somatostatin receptor-positive tumors will be randomly assigned to get the combo or the standard therapy alone. The goal is to see if the combination leads to more tumor shrinkage.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
triapine and lutetium Lu 177 dotatate
What this could lead to
If it works, this combination could shrink tumors or slow their growth better than the current standard therapy for people with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with only 94 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Adding triapine could also increase side effects without improving outcomes.
