Background:

Gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (GI NET) are a type of cancer that affects the stomach and intestines; pheochromocytoma/paragangliomas (PPGL) are tumors that grow in or near the adrenal glands. Both of these types of tumor have high levels of a protein called somatostatin receptors (SSTR) on their surfaces. Researchers want to test a treatment that targets SSTR.

Objective:

To test a drug (\[212Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET) in people with GI NET or PPGL. The drug has 2 components: a protein to bind to SSTR and a radioactive agent to kill the cancer cells.

Eligibility:

Adults aged 18 years or older with GI NET or PPGL tumors that have spread and cannot be removed with surgery.

Design:

Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam, with imaging scans, blood tests, and tests of their heart function.

\[212Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET is given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein (infusion). Treatment will be given in four 8 week cycles. Participants will receive the drug on the first day of each cycle. They will remain in the clinic at least 4 hours after each infusion and may nee to stay in th hospital for up to 48 hour for monitoring and testing. They will have blood tests every week of each cycle.

Some participants will also get a related study drug (\[203Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET). They will receive this drug a few days before the first 2 cycles. At 4, 24, and 48 hours after each infusion, they will have whole body scans. These scans will show where the study drug went in their body.

Follow-up visits will continue for 10 years....

Background:

* Somatostatin receptors (SSTR) have been shown to be over-expressed in a number of human tumors, including gastrointestinal (GI) neuroendocrine tumors (NET) and pheochromocytoma/paragangliomas (PPGL)
* Targeted radioligand therapy (TRT) is a class of cancer therapeutic agents formed by attaching a radioactive isotope to a ligand that can target specific surface receptors such as SSTR on a tumor cell membrane. Efficacy is typically determined by the radiation dose deposited onto a tumor, which is determined by the radioactive isotope being used as well as the binding characteristics of the ligand-receptor/transporter pair
* While there have been clinical successes with treating gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (GI NET) and PPGL with SSTR-targeting beta-emitting TRTs, tumors will invariably start to progress after some time. Re-treatment using the same beta-emitting agents at the time of progression can be done but has decreased efficacy compared to the TRT-naive setting
* Alpha emitters such as 212Pb emit alpha particles that are more damaging to tumor cells than beta emitters such as 177Lu. Therefore, TRT agents using alpha emitters are considered to be more potent and could be better than betas in the re-treatment setting
* VMT-alpha-NET is a peptide that binds to SSTR, which when attached to 212Pb becomes an alpha particle-emitting TRT that can be used to treat tumors that have SSTR surface expression
* \[203Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET is the chemically identical imaging surrogate for \[212Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET and has the same mechanism of action via binding to SSTR2. The nuclide 203Pb contained in \[203Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET emits gamma radiation suitable for single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) imaging. These images can be used to assess drug product biodistribution throughout the body

Objectives:

* Phase I: To determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of \[212Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET using a 3+3 dose escalation design in GI NET and PPGL in a re-treatment setting
* Phase II: To determine the Overall Response Rate (ORR) by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 of participants treated with \[212Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET at the MTD at the completion of 4 cycles of treatment, reported by disease groups

Eligibility:

* Age \>= 18 years
* Histopathologically confirmed GI NET or PPGL that are metastatic or inoperable
* At least 1 prior systemic radioligand therapy
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status \<= 1

Design:

* This is an open-label, single-arm, single-center, phase I/II study evaluating the safety, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetic properties of \[212Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET in GI NET and PPGL in a re-treatment setting
* Phase I participants will be accrued using a 3+3 dose escalation design with 3 dose levels to estimate MTD of \[212Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET. Once MTD is estimated, Phase II participants with GI NET and PPGL will be accrued in separate cohorts and treated at MTD of \[212Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET
* \[212Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET will be given IV every 8 weeks for a total of 4 administrations
* A subset of participants (Dosimetry Arm 1) will have \[203Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET administration followed by whole-body gamma scans combined with dosimetry SPECT/ Computed Tomography (CT) scans and collection of blood and urine samples prior to the first and the second doses of \[212Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET (Cycles 1-2)
* All participants will undergo serial whole-body dose rate measurements after \[203Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET and/or \[212Pb\]VMT-alpha-NET administration
* Participants will have timed clinical laboratory evaluations, imaging studies, and research blood, and urine samples while on the study therapy for safety and efficacy evaluations
* Following completion of treatment, participants will be seen at the NIH Clinical Center approximately 30 days later, every 12 weeks for years 1-3, every 6 months for years 4-6 for safety and efficacy assessments. Beyond 6 years, participants will be contacted annually through any NIH-approved platform to assess for overall survival and health status
* The overall study accrual ceiling will be set to 53 participants

PET-CT

David TAIEB, MD

18F-FDOPA PET-CT is currently the gold standard in the evaluation of Pheochromocytomas and Paragangliomas (PHEO - PGL) since these tumors can also decarboxylate amino acids such as dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). This property is common to tumors of the APUD system (Amine Precursor Uptake and Decarboxylation). In recent years, PET (Positron Emission Tomography) imaging using peptide receptors has gained an increasing role in the management of NETs. The use of somatostatin agonists, radiolabeled with gallium-68 (68Ga) enables targeting of Somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) with a PET resolution. This has improved diagnosis of SSTRs-expressing tumors, including PGLs.

In the present study, the investigators have chosen DOTATATE (Nal3-octreotate) rather than other agonists (DOTATOC and DOTANOC), because of its higher affinity for SST2 which is the most overexpressed subtype in PHEO/PGL. However, performances of 18F-FDOPA PET-CT and 68Ga-DOTATATE PET-CT have never been compared in this clinical setting.

The third objective is to compare 68Ga-DOTATATE PET-CT to anatomical imaging, to assess the factors influencing its sensitivity concerning the genetic status,

The fourth objective is to compare 68Ga-DOTATATE PET-CT to anatomical imaging, to assess the factors influencing its sensitivity concerning Somatostatin receptor expression

The primary outcome measure is to determine the contribution of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET-CT in the staging of PHEO/PGL. We will document the number of additional foci detected by 68Ga-DOTATATE PET-CT compared to 18F-FDOPA PET-CT.

The secondary objective is to compare , to assess the factors influencing its sensitivity concerning the tumor location
