About this study

Official title: A Phase I/IIa First-in-Human Study of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET Targeted Alpha-Particle Therapy for Advanced SSTR2 Positive Tumors

This study is Phase I/IIa First-in-Human Study of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET Targeted Alpha-Particle Therapy for Advanced SSTR2 Positive Tumors

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, radioactivity dose-finding/ dose expansion study of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET in up to approximately 300 adult subjects with unresectable or metastatic SSTR2-expressing tumors who have not received prior peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT).

Somatostatin Receptor type 2 (SSTR2) is highly expressed on various tumors including Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), meningioma and therefore is an attractive therapeutic target. Lead-212 ([212Pb]-) based peptide-radiopharmaceuticals are an emerging class of targeted alpha-particle cancer therapies that have potential to improve delivery of a highly effective form of radiation.

[212Pb] VMT-a-NET is a targeted alpha therapy agent designed to enhance the precision and effectiveness of cancer treatment by delivering a highly potent form of radiation directly to cancer cells. This approach aims to maximize radiation delivery to tumors while minimizing exposure to healthy tissues.

The study will be conducted in 2 parts:

Part 1: Phase I Dose-Finding: Subjects will receive radioactive doses of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET for dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) observation, determining Optimal Biological Dose (OBD) and potential Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) for Part 2 (Dose Expansion). Dose changes or adjustments will be made by the safety monitoring committee (SMC) and Sponsor.

The RP2D will be determined following a holistic analysis of observed DLTs, Adverse Events (AEs), estimated cumulative organ radiation exposure, and efficacy signals over the course of all treatment cycles for all dose cohorts.

Part 2: Phase IIa Dose-Expansion: This part will enroll subjects with gastroenteropancreatic NETS, bronchial NETS, pheochromocytoma or paragangliomas, and meningioma. Subjects will receive RP2D identified in Part 1 for further assessment of safety and preliminary efficacy.

Reno-protective amino acids will be co-administered prior to each [212Pb]VMT-α-NET dose in all subjects. Dose-finding will be based on an adaptive design until optimal biologic dose is identified or the pre-specified rules are met.

A dosimetry sub-study using [203Pb]VMT-α-NET will be conducted. The subjects will undergo dosimetric evaluation prior to receiving the therapeutic agent.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of participants with dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) after the first administration of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET

    DLTs describe side effects of a drug that are serious enough to prevent an increase in dose

    Measured: Incidence and severity of DLTs during the first 42 days of study treatment will be assessed.

  2. Objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) Version 1.1 in subjects with NETs

    Percentage of subjects with complete responses (CRs) or partial responses (PRs) to at least 1 administration of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET

    Measured: Up to week 96

  3. ORR per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) meningioma criteria in subjects with meningioma

    Percentage of subjects with complete responses (CRs) or partial responses (PRs) to at least 1 administration of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET

    Measured: Up to week 96

  4. Number of subjects with adverse events (AEs)

    Any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigational participant administered [212Pb]VMT-α-NET and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Associated Adverse Events (AE) or Serious AEs are assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0.

    Measured: Until the end of study (3 years after end-of-study visit)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Anti-tumor efficacy of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET in terms of tumor response

    Determination of the best overall response rate (BOR) by RECIST v1.1 in subjects with neuroendocrine tumors or RANO in meningioma subjects

    Measured: Until the end of study (3 years after end-of-study visit)

  2. Determine the duration of response (DOR) receiving [212Pb]VMT-α-NET.

    The length of time that a tumor continues to respond to treatment without the cancer growing or spreading determined by RECIST v1.1 or RANO

    Measured: Up to week 96

  3. Determination of Progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS is how long a subject lives without the disease worsening as evaluated by RECIST v1.1 or RANO

    Measured: Up to week 96

  4. To investigate the Overall Survival (OS) following treatment with [212Pb]VMT-α-NET

    OS is how long a subject lives after a subject starts treatment

    Measured: Until the end of study (3 years after end-of-study visit)

  5. Determination of pharmacokinetic properties of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET.

    Blood radioactivity pharmacokinetic parameter i.e. area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) is determined.

    Measured: 24 hours following [212Pb]VMT-α-NET dosing.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing [203Pb]VMT-α-NET and [212Pb]VMT-α-NET in people with Neuroendocrine Tumors Unresectable and Neuroendocrine Tumor Metastatic, run by Perspective Therapeutics at 20 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact ClinicalTrials at Perspectivetherapeutics ((206) 676-0900, clinicaltrials@perspectivetherapeutics.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) after the first administration of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET (time frame: Incidence and severity of DLTs during the first 42 days of study treatment will be assessed.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Oct 2026.
