What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of a radioligand therapy called [177Lu]Lu-NNS309 in patients with advanced or metastatic cancers, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and various types of breast and colorectal cancers. The study is divided into two parts: an escalation phase to determine the recommended doses of the treatment and an expansion phase to further evaluate its safety and effectiveness. Patients will undergo imaging with [68Ga]Ga-NNS309 to assess eligibility before receiving treatment. The trial will follow participants for up to 36 months to monitor disease progression and treatment outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic, lung, breast, or colorectal cancers that have progressed after standard therapies.

Not a fit: Patients with early-stage cancers or those who have not yet undergone standard treatment options may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced cancers that are difficult to treat.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies using radioligand therapy have shown promising results, indicating potential for success with this approach.
