SumMET: Targeted radioligand therapy for c-MET–positive solid tumors
Official title: A First-in-Human Phase 1/2 Dose Escalation and Treatment Optimization Study Evaluating Safety, Tolerability, and Preliminary Efficacy of [225Ac]Ac-FL-261 in Participants With Solid Tumors Overexpressing c-MET
Run by Full-Life Technologies UK Limited · NCT07873450 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This first‑in‑human study tests the safety and potential effectiveness of a radioligand therapy called [225Ac]Ac-FL-261 in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that overexpress c-MET.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) with advanced or metastatic solid tumors overexpressing c-MET, who have exhausted standard treatments or cannot tolerate them, including ns-NSCLC, CRC, HNSCC, or cholangiocarcinoma.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose tumors do not respond to this targeted radioligand 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 multicenter, open‑label Phase 1/2 trial will first escalate doses to find the maximum tolerated dose, then compare two dose regimens to select an optimal treatment. After dose optimization, the study will test the chosen dose in separate cohorts for ns-NSCLC, colorectal cancer, head and neck cancer, and cholangiocarcinoma. Participants must have advanced or metastatic cancer not curable with standard treatments and have progressed after prior therapies. The intervention is [225Ac]Ac-FL-261, a c-MET–targeted radioligand therapy, given to eligible adults in a landscape of early human testing for this approach.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience tumor control or slowed progression and contribute to developing a new targeted therapy option.
How similar studies have gone: Other targeted radioligand therapies have shown promise in early trials, but this approach with c-MET targeting is investigational and outcomes are yet to be established.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * They have signed the consent form before any study-related tests or procedures are done and are willing to follow all study requirements. * They are 18 years of age or older. * They have a confirmed diagnosis of an advanced or metastatic cancer that cannot be cured with surgery, radiation, or other treatments. * Phase 1: Non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (ns-NSCLC). * Phase 2: Non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (ns-NSCLC), colorectal cancer (CRC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), or cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). * Their cancer has worsened after previous treatments, or they cannot receive further standard treatments because of reasons such as side effects or medical conditions. * For lung cancer (ns-NSCLC): Previously treated with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies if applicable. * For colorectal cancer (CRC): Previously treated with standard chemotherapy and other suitable targeted or immune therapies if specific genetic changes were present. * For head and neck cancer (HNSCC): Previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy and immunotherapy. * For cholangiocarcinoma: Previously treated with at least one chemotherapy regimen. * The cancer must be c-MET positive, meaning laboratory testing of the tumor shows a moderate to high level of c-MET protein in at least half of the cancer cells. * At least one tumor can be measured on scans according to standard cancer assessment criteria. * The participant is generally well enough for daily activities, with an ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1 (fully active or only restricted in strenuous activities). * Important organs are functioning adequately, based on blood and laboratory test results, including: * Normal heart rhythm measurement (QTc interval). * Women who can become pregnant must have a negative pregnancy test during screening and again shortly before starting study treatment. * Women who can become pregnant must use an effective birth control method from the first dose of study treatment until 6 months after the last dose. * Sexually active men must use a barrier method of contraception (such as condoms) during the study and for about 3 months after the last dose. They must also not donate sperm during this period. Exclusion Criteria: * Cancer has spread to the brain or spinal cord and has not been treated. * People with previously treated brain metastases may still be eligible if they are stable, have no symptoms, and are not taking steroids for neurological problems. * They have a serious medical or mental health condition that could make participation unsafe or affect the study results. * They have previously received radioactive cancer treatments, such as radioembolization (for example, Y-90 treatment). * They received anti-cancer treatment within the last 4 weeks before starting the study drug. They received an experimental (investigational) anti-cancer treatment within the last 4 weeks or within 5 half-lives of that treatment (whichever period is longer). * They received radiation therapy too recently, including: * Radiation to a large area of bone marrow within 6 weeks before study treatment, or * Radiation to a specific area within 2 weeks before study treatment. * They had major surgery within the last 6 weeks or have not completely recovered from the surgery and its side effects. * They are allergic to the study drug or any of its ingredients. * They are currently participating in another clinical trial that involves treatment or intervention. * They still have significant side effects from previous cancer treatments. * People may still be eligible if they have: * Hair loss of any severity, * Mild to moderate nerve damage (Grade 2), * Moderate fatigue (Grade 2), * Stable diabetes, * Well-controlled underactive or overactive thyroid disease. * They have a history of interstitial lung disease (a serious lung condition that causes scarring and inflammation of the lungs). * They have serious heart disease, including: * Heart attack within the last 6 months, * Unstable chest pain (angina), * Moderate to severe heart failure, * Uncontrolled high blood pressure, * Uncontrolled abnormal heart rhythms, * Severe narrowing of the aortic heart valve. * They have an active infection that requires treatment, including: * HIV, * Hepatitis B, * Hepatitis C, * COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2). However, some people with chronic HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C may be allowed to participate if their infection is well controlled and approved by the study doctor. * They have had another type of active cancer within the last 3 years, apart from the cancer being studied. * Some exceptions may be allowed if the other cancer is well controlled and does not require treatment during the study. * They are pregnant or breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant or donate eggs during the study or within 6 months after the last dose of the study drug.
