Phase I Study of [177Lu]Lu-NNS309 in Patients With Pancreatic, Lung, Breast and Colorectal Cancers

Recruiting nowPhase 1

What this trial is trying to do

The trial is testing whether [177Lu]Lu-NNS309, a radioactive treatment, can be given safely and tolerated by people with advanced colorectal and other cancers. A related radioactive tracer, [68Ga]Ga-NNS309, is used for imaging and dosimetry—the measurement of where the treatment goes and how much radiation reaches the body—while researchers also look for early signs of tumour activity.

The researchers hope this approach could deliver radiation to cancer in a controlled way, but there is no comparison treatment in this trial. The main measure is dose-limiting toxicity, so an improvement would mean finding a dose that can be given safely; any evidence of tumour control is preliminary rather than a test of longer survival.

Worth knowing: This is a small, non-randomised phase I study focused mainly on safety and radiation distribution, not on proving that the treatment extends life or delays cancer growth.

What is being tested

  • Drug [68Ga]Ga-NNS309
  • Drug [177Lu]Lu-NNS309

What it is measuring

Number of patients with dose limiting toxicities of [177Lu]Lu-NNS309

This is the trial's main question — the one it is designed and sized to answer. Anything else it reports is a secondary finding, and secondary findings are far more likely to be chance.

Phase 1. Tests safety and dose in a small group. Some people do benefit, but that is not what the trial is designed to find out.

How the researchers describe it

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, dosimetry and preliminary efficacy of [177Lu]Lu-NNS309 and the safety, dosimetry and imaging properties of [68Ga]Ga-NNS309 in patients aged ≥ 18 years with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), HR+/HER2- ductal and lobular breast cancer (BC), triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and colorectal cancer (CRC).

Who the trial is looking for

Inclusion Criteria

  • Age ≥ 18 years old
  • Patients with one of the following indications:
  • Locally advanced unresectable or metastatic PDAC with disease progression following, or intolerance to cytotoxic chemotherapy, unless patient was ineligible to receive such therapy
  • Locally advanced unresectable or metastatic NSCLC without any actionable genomic alterations with disease progression following, or intolerance to chemotherapy and immunotherapy, unless patient was ineligible to receive such therapy, or locally advanced unresectable or metastatic NSCLC with an actionable genomic alteration with disease progression following, or intolerance to targeted therapy, unless patient was ineligible to receive such therapy
  • Locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HR+/HER2- ductal or lobular BC with disease progression following, or intolerance to, at least 2 lines of therapy, unless patient was ineligible to receive such therapy
  • Locally advanced unresectable or metastatic TNBC with disease progression following, or intolerance to, at least 2 lines of therapy, unless patient was ineligible to receive such therapy
  • Locally advanced or metastatic unresectable CRC with disease progression following, or intolerance to cytotoxic chemotherapy, unless patient was ineligible to receive such therapy.

Where it is running

Individual hospitals, and whether each is currently open, are listed on the registry record. Sites open and close throughout a trial.

Worth asking your oncology team

Being listed here is not a recommendation, and no one page can tell you whether a trial is right for you. These are the questions it raises.

  • Is this trial open at a hospital I could realistically travel to?
  • Given my stage, my previous treatment and my tumour's molecular profile, would I be eligible?
  • What would I be giving up by joining — is the comparison arm the treatment I would otherwise be having?
  • What is already known about the safety of what is being tested?
