Evaluating risks of myelodysplastic syndrome in patients receiving peptide radionuclide therapy

Official title: Evaluating Myelodysplastic Syndrome Risks in NET Patients Planned for Peptide Radionuclide Therapy

Run by University Health Network, Toronto · NCT06510868 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is trying to find out if certain patients who receive a specific cancer treatment are at risk of developing blood disorders like myelodysplastic syndrome and leukemia, to make the treatment safer for everyone.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include patients with neuroendocrine tumors who are either planning to undergo PRRT or have recently completed it.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are unwilling to provide blood samples or those with a life expectancy of less than six months 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 observational study aims to identify patients at risk of developing myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) following peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) for neuroendocrine tumors. By analyzing genetic changes and patient responses, the study seeks to improve patient selection for PRRT and develop strategies to mitigate the risk of these serious conditions. The research will also explore whether the development of MDS and AML is linked to specific radioisotopes or is a broader effect of radiopharmaceuticals. Ultimately, the findings could enhance the safety and efficacy of PRRT in treating cancer.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to better patient selection for PRRT and strategies to prevent the development of MDS and AML.

How similar studies have gone: While the study explores a critical area of research, the specific approach of identifying genetic predispositions in the context of PRRT is relatively novel.
