Phase I/II Study of Lutathera in Patients With Recurrent and/or Progressive High-Grade Central Nervous System Tumors and Meningiomas That Demonstrate Uptake on DOTATATE PET

Trial ID: NCT05278208

Interventional - Phase 1/2 - Recruiting

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Lutathera (177Lu-DOTATATE) in patients with progressive or recurrent High-Grade Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors and meningiomas that demonstrate uptake on DOTATATE PET. The drug will be given intravenously once every 8 weeks for a total of up to 4 doses over 8 months in patients aged 4 to \<12 years (Phase I) or 12 to \</=39 years (Phase II) to test its safety and efficacy, respectively.
