ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called 177Lu-CTR-FAPI for patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancers, such as pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, and neuroendocrine tumors. The goal is to find out how safe this treatment is and to gather information about how well it works in patients with these types of cancer. The study will involve 20 participants and will take place at one medical center.

To participate, patients should be between the ages of 18 and 75 and have specific types of advanced cancer that have been confirmed by imaging tests. In addition, their overall health must be stable, meaning their organs are functioning well. Participants will receive the new treatment and will be monitored for any side effects and how effective the treatment is. It’s important to note that this trial is not yet recruiting participants, so interested individuals will need to wait until the study begins.

• • 4. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 109/L;
• • 5. Platelets ≥ 75 × 109/L;
• • 6. Haemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL;
• • 7. Serum albumin ≥ 30 g/L.
• • 8. Total bilirubin ≤ 3 × ULN;
• • 7. Women of childbearing age who undergo a blood pregnancy test within 72 h prior to treatment need to be excluded from pregnancy and must be non-lactating and willing to use a highly effective method of contraception for the duration of the trial and for 6 months after completion of treatment. For men, agreement to use a highly effective method of contraception or to have been surgically sterilised during the study and for 4 months after the end of treatment.
• Exclusion Criteria:
• * 1. Disease-related:
• • 1. Combination of other malignancies (except non-melanoma skin cancer or radical tumours without recurrence within 5 years);
• • 2. Presence of central nervous system metastases or carcinomatous meningitis;
• • 3. Uncontrolled cancer pain (requiring long-term high-dose opioids) or cachexia (≥20% weight loss in 6 months);
• • 4. Diabetes mellitus (fasting blood glucose \> 2 x ULN) that is not well controlled with optimal medical supportive therapy;
• • 5. Accompanied by poorly controlled plasmapheresis, including pleural fluid, ascites, and pericardial effusion; controlled with treatment and stable (asymptomatic, not requiring interventional therapy, and stable on imaging) for ≥2 weeks may be included;
• • 6. Severe urinary incontinence, hydronephrosis, severe voiding dysfunction or the need for an indwelling urinary catheter for any reason;
• • 7. Subjects with uncontrolled cardiac clinical symptoms or disease, including but not limited to: i) NYHA class 2 or higher heart failure; ii) unstable angina; iii) myocardial infarction within 1 year prior to enrolment; iv) left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<50%; v) clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias requiring treatment or intervention;
• • 8. Co-occurring active hepatitis B (HBV-DNA testing is required for HBsAg-positive individuals with HBV DNA ≥500 IU/mL or 2500 copies/mL), and hepatitis C (HCV-Ab-positive and above the lower limit of detection of the analytical method);
• • 9. Persons known to have acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing positive. Persons with active syphilis infection.
• • 2. Treatment related
• • 1. Radiotherapy within 4 weeks or previous radiotherapy to \>25% of the bone marrow area;
• • 2. Received systemic anti-tumour therapy such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy within 4 weeks;
• • 3. Treatment with surgery (biopsy puncture, non-anti-tumour surgical operations such as ERCP may be excluded), radiofrequency ablation or cryoablation, interferon, transcatheter arterial embolisation (TAE) or transcatheter arterial chemoembolisation (TACE) within 12 weeks;
• • 4. Prior FAP-targeted therapy (e.g., FAPI-PRRT, anti-FAP antibody drugs);
• • 5. Presence of contraindications to radionuclide therapy (e.g., myelodysplastic syndrome, extensive bone metastases with bone marrow failure).
• Comorbidities and Risks:
• • 6. Previous antineoplastic therapy resulting in toxicity that has not recovered to grade ≤1 according to the NCI-CTCAE v5.0 classification (with the exception of lowered lymphocyte counts, alopecia, and the indicators mentioned in the inclusion criteria, and with the exception of partially tolerable chronic grade 2 toxicity, in the judgement of the investigator).
• • 3. Other exclusions
• • 1. History of allergy to peptide radiopharmaceuticals;
• • 2. Inability to co-operate with long-term follow-up (e.g., mental illness, geographical constraints, etc.);
