CEA-PRIT 2.0 for metastatic colorectal cancer

A Phase I, Open-Label, Escalation and Expansion Study to Evaluate Dosimetry, Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Clinical Activity of CEA-Pre-Targeted 212Pb Therapy in Participants With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Phase 1 Interventional Hoffmann-La Roche · NCT07416552

This trial will test CEA-PRIT 2.0, a targeted pretargeted radioligand treatment using split antibodies and lead-based payloads, in people with metastatic microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer who have progressed on or cannot tolerate standard therapies.

What this trial studies

CEA-PRIT 2.0 is a Phase 1, single-site trial testing a pretargeted radioimmunotherapy approach in patients with metastatic microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer who have progressed on or are intolerant to standard treatments. The regimen uses split antibodies combined with radiolabeled payloads (203Pb-DOTAM for imaging/dosimetry and 212Pb-DOTAM for therapeutic radiation) to deliver radiation selectively to CEA-expressing tumors. Primary focus is on dosimetry and safety, with secondary endpoints including preliminary efficacy, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity. Eligible participants must have measurable disease, ECOG 0–1, adequate organ and laboratory function, and no active CNS metastases or unresolved toxicities from prior therapy.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults with histologically confirmed metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma that is microsatellite-stable, with measurable disease, ECOG 0–1, adequate organ function, and who have progressed on or cannot tolerate available standard systemic therapies.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active central nervous system metastases, a recent other malignancy, or unresolved toxicities from prior treatments are excluded and are unlikely to benefit from participation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could offer a new targeted way to deliver radiation to CEA-positive colorectal metastases and potentially shrink tumors with fewer systemic side effects.

How similar studies have performed: Related pretargeted radioimmunotherapy strategies and Pb-212 radioligands have shown early promise in small Phase 1 studies in other cancers, but CEA-directed PRIT in MSS metastatic colorectal cancer is a relatively new approach.
