New radioactive drug takes aim at Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT05283330
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial tests a new drug that delivers radiation directly to cancer cells carrying a specific protein called GRPR. The study includes 48 adults with advanced cancers like prostate, breast, lung, or colon cancer that have not responded to standard treatments. The main goal is to find a safe dose and check for early signs that the drug is working.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A radioactive drug (212Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1) that targets a protein called GRPR found on some cancer cells
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced cancers that have the GRPR protein, especially when other treatments have stopped working.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, first-in-human trial with only 48 participants. The drug may not shrink tumors or could cause side effects from radiation. Success is far from guaranteed.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
1. Adult participants (age ≥ 18 years old) with any of the following advanced or metastatic solid tumors (documented history of histologically confirmed diagnosis): 1. Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) including neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) (enrolled only in SAD and MAD Q6W) 2. HR+/HER2- breast cancer (estrogen receptor/ER expression \>10% of tumor cell nuclei stain, regardless of progesterone receptor/PgR expression); HER2-negative including HER2-low (as per relevant ASCO/CAP guidelines) 3. Colorectal cancer 4. Cervical cancer 5. Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) 6. Recurrent glioblastoma (only enrolled in MAD Q4W cohorts) with evidence of recurrent disease (RD) demonstrated by disease progression using modified Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO 2.0) criteria. Note: If surgery is performed for GBM recurrence, pre-surgery MRI will be used for confirmation of RD and residual and measurable disease post-surgery is not required but surgery must have confirmed the recurrence diagnosis by MRI. 2. Capable of giving signed informed consent 3. All participants must have progressed on at least 2 prior systemic therapies, except for recurrent GB 4. For participants with mCRPC: Prior orchiectomy and/or ongoing androgen deprivation therapy and a castrate level of serum testosterone (\<50 ng/dL or \<1.7 nmol/L) 5. Presence of at least 1 measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the Investigator (not applicable for GBM). At least 1 identified measurable lesion must show GRPR uptake in 203Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1 SPECT/CT (uptake greater than that of the background) as assessed by the Investigator. 6. For participants with prostate cancer that do not have measurable soft tissue disease, 203Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1 uptake in bone lesions \> uptake in background is acceptable for eligibility. 7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status 0-1. Participants with ECOG status of 2 may be approved on a case-by-case basis in discussion with the Sponsor. 8. Adequate bone marrow, hepatic, and renal function, as assessed by the following laboratory requirements: 1. White blood cell (WBC) ≥3000/ mm3 (≥ 3 x 109/L) 2. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1500/mm3 (≥1.5 x 109/L) 3. Platelets ≥100,000/mm3 (≥ 100 x 109/L) 4. Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥9.0 g/dL 5. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3x upper limit of normal (ULN) or ≤ 5 x ULN in the presence of liver metastases 6. Total bilirubin: ≤1.5 x ULN, except if documented history of Gilbert's disease who are eligible if total bilirubin ≤ 3 x ULN 7. Adequate renal function defined by creatinine clearance (CLCR) ≥ 60 mL/min calculated as follows: CLCR = eGFR in ml/min/1.73 m2 calculated by the Modified Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) x participant body surface area (BSA) in m2 ÷ 1.73 8. Serum amylase and/or lipase ≤1.5 x ULN 9. For women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and men with partners of childbearing potential: be willing to use highly effective methods of contraception or sexual abstinence, if part of participant's lifestyle, throughout the study and for 7 months for WOCBP, 4 months for men after the last \[212Pb\]Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1 administration or for 10 days following \[203Pb\]Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1 administration and participant is not proceeding to 212Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1 treatment, as outlined in protocol. Participants with Recurrent Glioblastoma: 10. Having first or second glioblastoma recurrence, after standard therapy that includes prior radiation therapy (RT) and at least 12 weeks from completion of RT prior to first administration of 212Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1. In case surgery has been performed for GBM recurrence, the surgery has to be completed at least 4 weeks prior to 212Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1 treatment start, with post-surgery recovery without any complications related to surgical procedure. 11. Presence of 203Pb-DOTAM-GRPR1 uptake by SPECT/CT scan in the tumor lesion(s). 12. Presence of Gadolinium enhancement in the MRI in the tumor lesion(s) shown at the time of diagnosis of tumor recurrence.
