Program Overview
This study aims to evaluate how well Lutathera (177Lu-DOTATATE), a radioactive drug, works in treating adults with progressive or high-risk meningioma, a type of brain tumor. Participants will receive the drug through an IV every eight weeks for a total of four doses. Special PET-MRI scans will be done before starting the treatment and six months after to see how the tumors respond.
