177Lu-FAP-VG11 Injection for FAP-Positive Advanced Solid Tumours

Official title: An Exploratory Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Biodistribution Characteristics of 177 Lu FAP VG11 Injection in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumours

Run by Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute · NCT07808177 · Data updated 2026-11-12

A first-in-class, early-dose study tests whether 177Lu-FAP-VG11 can be safely given to adults with FAP-positive advanced solid tumours who have few other options.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with advanced solid tumours that are FAP-positive by PET imaging and for whom no standard therapy with curative or life-prolonging potential is available.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose tumours do not accumulate the radioligand or who do not tolerate the treatment may not experience benefit.

What this trial studies

This is an early-phase, single-arm study to assess safety, tolerability, and how the treatment distributes in the body (dosimetry) after administration of 177Lu-FAP-VG11. The trial uses a dose-escalation design to identify a tolerable dose range while monitoring preliminary signs of activity in patients whose tumours express fibroblast activation protein (FAP). Eligible participants have advanced solid tumours, are FAP-positive by PET imaging, and have exhausted standard therapies. The study is open-label and conducted at a single center in Shandong, China, sponsored by Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute. Results will inform future development of targeted radioligand therapy for FAP-expressing cancers.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience stabilization or reduction of tumour burden and gain information that could lead to more effective treatments for FAP-positive cancers.

How similar studies have gone: Prior targeted radioligand therapies have shown safety signals and potential activity in related targets, supporting progression to this exploratory FAP-directed approach.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients with advanced solid tumors who have failed standard therapy or for whom no standard therapy is available.
* Patients whose tumors are assessed as FAP-positive (high FAP expression with SUVmax uptake above liver background) by FAP-targeted diagnostic PET/CT imaging.
* In the investigator's judgment, no other treatment option with curative or life-prolonging potential is available.
* Male or non-pregnant, non-lactating females, aged ≥18 years.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score ≤2.
* Life expectancy \>6 months.
* Female patients: Women of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraceptive methods from screening until 6 months after the last dose of study drug.
* Male patients: Subjects must use a condom during sexual intercourse during the study and for 14 weeks after the last study treatment to prevent partner pregnancy and to avoid transmission of the study drug via semen; in addition, subjects should refrain from sperm donation during treatment and for 6 months after the last study drug administration.
* Subjects must provide written informed consent voluntarily before participation in the trial.
* Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Clinically symptomatic central nervous system metastases or meningeal metastases, or other evidence that the patient's central nervous system or meningeal metastases are not controlled, and deemed unsuitable for enrollment by the investigator.
* Major organ surgery (excluding needle biopsy) or significant trauma within 4 weeks prior to the first use of study drug, or need for elective surgery during the study period.
* History of immunodeficiency, including positive HIV test, or other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or history of organ transplantation, or severe autoimmune disease history deemed unsuitable for enrollment by the investigator; or allogeneic organ transplantation requiring immunosuppressive therapy.
* Receipt of systemic or local radioisotope therapy within 3 months prior to the first dose.
* Receipt of other investigational drugs not yet marketed within 4 weeks prior to the first use of study drug, or within five half-lives of the other investigational drug.
* Definitive history of neurological or psychiatric disorders, including epilepsy or dementia.
* Pregnancy or lactation, or unwillingness to use adequate contraceptive methods.
* Any severe concomitant disease that, in the investigator's opinion, would make the patient's participation in the study inadvisable or could affect compliance with the protoco.
