Interim safety and efficacy data of [ <sup>212</sup> Pb]VMT-α-NET in somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) expressing neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).
668 Background: After the approval of 177Lu DOTATATE, a new generation of radiopharmaceutical therapies (RPT) utilizing alpha-emitting radiometals is being developed as front-line therapies for advanced NETs with the hope of higher clinical efficacy. In this Phase I study, [ 212 Pb]VMT-α-NET, a novel targeted alpha radionuclide therapy (TAT) to SSTR2, is being evaluated in SSTR2-expressing NETs tumors in patients with no prior PRRT treatment. Here we present interim safety and the first efficacy results from dose escalation cohorts 1 and 2. Methods: In this first-in-human dose-escalation study, safety, PK, and efficacy of [ 212 Pb]VMT-α-NET were investigated in a population of well-differentiated adult NETs of any grade which progressed after prior standard of care therapy as assessed by RECIST v1.1 (NCT05636618). No patient may have received prior 177 Lu-DOTATATE or PRRT. The dose escalation design includes four cohorts, 3 mCi, 5 mCi, 7.5 mCi and 10 mCi based on a Bayesian modified toxicity probability interval (mTPI-2) design. Subjects in cohorts 1 and 2 underwent dosimetry evaluations using the therapeutic surrogate [ 203 Pb]VMT-a-NET. Therapeutic [ 212 Pb]VMT-a-NET was administered for 4 cycles Q8W in combination with reno-protective amino acids. The DLT assessment period is defined as the first 6 weeks of cycle 1. The primary objectives include the evaluation of safety and tolerability, the PK and RP2D of [ 212 Pb]VMT-a-NET as well as ORR as assessed by RECIST 1.1 criteria. Results: The current data cut occurred on September 19 th , 2024. A total of 9 patients were enrolled (2 in cohort 1 and 7 in cohort 2). Median exposure for cohort 1 was 2.5 mCi (2.5 mCi, 2.5 mCi) and for cohort 2 was 5.1 mCi (4.7 mCi, 5.2 mCi). No DLTs were observed. Two grade 3 AEs occurred in Cohort 2 (diarrhea, syncope). The most frequent related TEAE were alopecia, fatigue, anemia, lymphopenia and nausea (all grade 1 or 2). One subject in Cohort 2 was discontinued due to progressive disease. Landmark PFS at 9 months is 89%. ORR is not yet mature and will be shown at the time of the meeting. Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) meeting was held on July 17 th , 2024, recommended dose escalation to cohort 3 at 7.5 mCi. No nephrotoxicity was reported in either cohort. Conclusions: [ 212 Pb]VMT-α-NET is safe up to 185 MBq (5 mCi) dose level, and the SMC supported dose escalate to cohort 3 at 277.5 MBq (7.5 mCi) following a mandated FDA review in fall. Cohort 2 remains open for dose level expansion. Early efficacy results demonstrate encouraging progression-free survival. Clinical trial information: NCT05636618 .
