Radioactive 'Smart Bombs' target Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT07661641
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial tests two radioactive drugs, [177Lu]Lu-A9-0631 and [225Ac]Ac-A9-0642, in people with advanced solid tumors that have a protein called GRPR on their surface. These cancers include certain breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers that have stopped responding to standard therapies. The study aims to find safe doses and check how the drugs spread in the body, using a third diagnostic agent to identify GRPR-positive tumors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Lutetium-177 and Actinium-225 attached to a molecule that targets GRPR
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new targeted radiation therapy option for people with advanced GRPR-positive cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early (Phase 1) trial, so the main goal is safety and dosing, not yet proving effectiveness. The radioactive drugs may cause side effects in healthy organs, and the trial is small, so results may not apply to all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participant has provided written informed consent prior to any study-specific procedure. * Age ≥ 18 years old. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1. * Have measurable target lesion per RECIST v1.1. * Progression from, intolerant to, or ineligible for (due to unavailability or contraindication) local standard of care therapies and have one of the following locally advanced or metastatic tumor types: prostate cancer; HR+/HER2- breast cancer; colorectal cancer; and GRPR-positive solid tumors. * Have GRPR-expressing disease as confirmed by PET / CT or SPECT imaging. * Adequate organ function within 14 days of first administration of investigational therapeutic product. * At least 4 weeks from prior major surgery. Exclusion Criteria: * Received anticancer treatment including but not limited to chemotherapy, antibody therapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy, vaccine therapy, angiogenesis inhibitors, or experimental drugs ≤ 14 days prior (≤ 28 days prior in case of checkpoint inhibitor therapy and other antibody therapies) or 5 half-lives, (t1/2) whichever is shorter, to the administration of therapeutic investigational product. * History of uncontrolled allergic reactions and/or known or expected hypersensitivity to a peptide-based imaging or therapeutic agent or any excipient present in either of the therapeutic investigational products. * Major surgery within 4 weeks of planned first dose of the therapeutic investigational product. * Prior external beam radiation therapy to more than 25% of the bone marrow. * Pregnant, breastfeeding, or unwilling to practice birth control during participation in the study. * Any active infection.
