Phase II Study of Lutathera for Adults with Progressive or High-risk Meningioma

Sponsor: NYU Langone Health

Sponsor score: 40

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT03971461

This clinical trial is testing the effectiveness of Lutathera, a radioactive drug, in treating adults with progressive or high-risk meningioma, a type of brain tumor. The treatment involves four doses given every eight weeks, with special scans before and after treatment to monitor progress.

Patient Parameters

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.
