CTNI-41. RESULTS OF A SINGLE-ARM, OPEN-LABEL, MULTICENTER PHASE 2 STUDY OF THE RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL [177LU]LU-DOTA-TATE IN ADULTS WITH ADVANCED INTRACRANIAL MENINGIOMA

Abstract BACKGROUND Most meningiomas are considered benign tumors, however, a subset of meningiomas are characterized by a more aggressive clinical course and require multimodal treatment. Beyond surgery and radiation, there are no effective medical treatments available. Somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) is expressed by the majority of meningiomas. [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE (177Lu-Dotatate) is a SSTR2-targeting radioligand therapeutic agent that has been successful in other oncological entities, including neuroendocrine tumors. Here we report the results of a phase 2 clinical trial (NCT03971461) evaluating 177Lu-Dotatate in patients with advanced and treatment-refractory intracranial meningiomas. METHODS In this multicenter, open-label, phase 2 study, adults with advanced intracranial meningiomas received 177Lu-Dotatate at 7.4 GBq (200 mCi) every eight weeks for four doses. [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE (68Ga-Dotatate) PET was performed before and at the end of treatment. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival at 6 months (PFS-6). Correlative studies evaluated the association of PFS-6, objective response rate, progression-free survival, overall survival with radiographic tumor measurements, and 68Ga-Dotatate uptake on PET. RESULTS Thirty-two patients (F=21, M=11) with progressive meningiomas (WHO 1=7, WHO 2=24, WHO 3=1) were enrolled. Median age was 65.5 (range 41-78) years. All patients previously underwent tumor resection and at least one course of radiation. Three patients (9%) had received medical therapy. Treatment with 177Lu-Dotatate was well tolerated, no treatment-limiting toxicities were observed. Of 29 evaluable patients at the data cutoff, 19 patients (66%) had achieved PFS-6 (WHO 1=4, WHO 2=15). Radiographically, the best response was partial response (PR) in 2 patients (6%) and stable disease (SD) in 20 patients (63%). CONCLUSIONS Treatment with SSTR2-targeting 177Lu-Dotatate is well tolerated and 66% of patients achieved PFS-6, comparing favorably to historical benchmarks, 177Lu-Dotatate therefore may be a useful new therapeutic modality for patients with advanced meningiomas and will be further explored in MOMENTUM-1 (NCT#06955169), an open-label, randomized, phase 2 trial.
