Official title: Combination of Everolimus and 177Lu-DOTATATE in the Treatment of Grades 2 and 3 Refractory Meningioma: a Phase IIb Clinical Trial
Run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France · NCT06126588 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if combining two treatments, Everolimus and 177Lu-DOTATATE, can help adults with hard-to-treat meningioma tumors live longer without their cancer getting worse.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults under 80 years old with grades 2 or 3 meningioma that has progressed and is not amenable to surgery or radiotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with grade 1 meningiomas or those who are not expressing somatostatin receptors may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of combining Everolimus with 177Lu-DOTATATE in patients with grades 2 and 3 refractory meningioma, which are tumors that do not respond to standard treatments like surgery and radiotherapy. The study aims to evaluate the progression-free survival rate at six months, with a target of exceeding 30%, as recommended by the European Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology group. Eligible participants must be adults under 80 years old with confirmed histology and specific imaging results indicating tumor progression. The trial is conducted at the Central Hospital in Nancy, France.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment combination could significantly improve survival outcomes for patients with aggressive meningiomas.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been promising results with similar approaches in treating grade 1 meningiomas, the efficacy in grades 2 and 3 remains less established.
