Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with 68Ga-DOTATATE–positive recurrent or progressive intracranial meningioma (any WHO grade) who have progressed after first-line treatment.

Probably not a fit

Patients without somatostatin receptor–expressing tumors or who experience intolerable toxicity may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a combined phase 1/2 study evaluating the safety, tolerability, optimal dose, and preliminary effectiveness of 225Ac-DOTATATE (RYZ101) in adults with progressive or recurrent intracranial meningioma that is 68Ga-DOTATATE positive. Participants receive RYZ101 by IV infusion every 8 weeks for up to four cycles, with amino acid support, and undergo imaging and biomarker assessments to measure response and toxicity. Primary outcome is progression-free survival at 6 months; secondary outcomes include objective response rate by MRI, overall and progression-free survival by grade, toxicity, and PET biomarker analyses. The study also explores correlations between PET uptake and treatment response as a potential prognostic biomarker.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience delayed tumor progression and improved disease control with a targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy.

How similar studies have gone: Previous radiopharmaceutical approaches targeting somatostatin receptors have shown activity in related neuroendocrine tumors, supporting further testing in meningioma.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Male or female patients of age \> 18 years
* Patients with 68Ga-DOTATATE positive recurrent or progressive meningiomas, any World Health Organization (WHO) grade, who have progressed after first line treatment.

  * For Grade I meningioma, patients must have either:

    * Progressive disease after at least surgical resection and radiotherapy, as defined as an increase in size of the measurable primary lesion on imaging by 25% or more between scans separated by no more than 12 months; or
    * Progressive residual tumor after maximal safe resection, located at or near critical organs at-risk and considered to be high-risk for radiation injury by the treating investigator. Prior external beam radiotherapy is not required for these subjects.
  * For Grade II or III meningioma, subjects must have either:

    * Progressive disease after at least surgical resection and radiotherapy, as defined as an increase in size of the measurable primary lesion on imaging by 25% or more between scans separated by no more than 12 months or
    * Residual measurable disease after prior surgery without requirement of progression, or
    * Unsuitable for, or decline other standard of care treatment.
* Positive 68Ga-DOTATATE uptake on PET/CT at baseline, defined as target lesion uptake higher than the background
* Presence of measurable disease defined as at least one lesion measuring ≥ 5 mm in at least one dimension by contrast-enhanced MRI performed within 30 days prior to study registration
* Multifocal disease allowed but limited to the physician discretion for safety (ie. large mass effect or damage to nearby critical organs with prior radiation treatment.)
* There is no limit on the number of prior surgeries, radiation therapy, radiosurgery, systemically administered therapeutic agents or theranostic agents
* For patients treated with external beam radiation, interstitial brachytherapy or radiosurgery, an interval ≥ 24 weeks must have elapsed from completion from these therapies to registration
* An interval of ≥ 28 days (or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter) from prior cytotoxic chemotherapy (6 weeks from nitrosoureas), biologic agent, investigational agent or any other systemic agent prescribed for the purpose of treating meningioma
* An interval of ≥ 28 days from craniotomy and ≥ 7 days from stereotactic biopsy
* Patients must be willing and able to undergo regular MRI scans of the brain
* Patients must have recovered to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade ≤ 1 or pretreatment baseline from clinically significant adverse events related to prior therapy (exclusions include alopecia, laboratory values listed per inclusion criteria, lymphopenia, sensory neuropathy ≤ grade 2, or other ≤ grade 2 not constituting a safety risk based on the investigator's judgment)
* Any neurological symptoms must be stable for at least 28 days prior to enrollment and patients should not require escalating doses of steroids to control neurological symptoms (stable low dose maintenance steroids at ≤ 8 mg dexamethasone or equivalent are allowed)

* Hemoglobin concentration ≥ 5.0 mmol/L (≥ 8.0 g/dL)

  * Note: Colony-stimulating factors, platelet-production stimulators and/or transfusions within 4 weeks prior to screening and first dose of study treatment are not permitted to meet these criteria
* Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000 cells/µL (≥ 1000 cells/mm\^3)

  * Note: Colony-stimulating factors, platelet-production stimulators and/or transfusions within 4 weeks prior to screening and first dose of study treatment are not permitted to meet these criteria.
* Platelets \> 100 × 10\^9/L (100 × 10\^3/mm\^3)

  * Note: Colony-stimulating factors, platelet-production stimulators and/or transfusions within 4 weeks prior to screening and first dose of study treatment are not permitted to meet these criteria.
* Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) (or ≤ 5 × ULN if presence of liver metastases)

* Serum albumin ≥ 3.0 g/dL
* Adequate coagulation function, defined by international normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN, unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy and PT or aPTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants
* For women of childbearing potential (WOCBP):

  * Negative pregnancy test within 48 hours prior to the first dose of study treatment
  * Agreement to use barrier contraception and a second form of highly effective contraception while receiving study treatment and for 7 months following their last dose of study treatment. Alternatively, total abstinence is also considered a highly effective contraception method when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.

A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is postmenarche, has not reached a postmenopausal state (≥ 12 continuous months of amenorrhea \[no menstrual bleeding of any kind, including menstrual period, irregular bleeding, spotting, etc.\] with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization (total hysterectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral oophorectomy at least 6 weeks before first dose of study treatment)

  * Male study subjects whose sexual partners are WOCBP must also agree to use a second form of highly effective contraception while receiving RYZ101 and for at least 4 months following their last dose. Alternatively, total abstinence is also considered a highly effective contraception method when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject.
  * Vasectomized men are also required to use a condom during intercourse, including with a male partner, to prevent delivery of the drug via seminal fluid.
