Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 or older with pathologically confirmed metastatic NSCLC who have experienced disease progression after at least one prior treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have not had prior systemic therapy or those with a performance status greater than 2 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 Phase I study evaluates the safety and efficacy of a theranostic pair, [68Ga]Ga DOTA-5G and [177Lu]Lu DOTA-ABM-5G, in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study utilizes [68Ga]Ga DOTA-5G PET/CT imaging to identify patients who are most likely to respond to the therapy. Up to 40 patients will be enrolled over 36 months, focusing on those with documented disease progression after prior treatments. The goal is to assess both the safety of the therapy and the potential therapeutic response from a single dose.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this therapy could provide a new targeted treatment option for patients with metastatic NSCLC.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel, similar theranostic strategies have shown promise in other cancer types, indicating potential for success.
