[212Pb]VMT-Alpha-NET in Metastatic or Inoperable Somatostatin-Receptor Positive Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors, Pheochromocytoma/Paragangliomas, Small Cell Lung, Renal Cell, and Head and Neck Cancers
NCT06479811 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Background: Some cancers have high levels of proteins called somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) on the surface of the tumors. These tumors can be in the lung, head and neck, digestive tract, kidneys, and in or near the adrenal glands. Researchers want to know if drug treatments that target SSTRs can help shrink these types of tumors. Objective: To test a study drug (\[212Pb\]VMT-Alpha-NET) in people with tumors that have SSTRs. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with tumors of the lung, kidneys, head and neck, digestive tract, or adrenal glands that have SSTRs. Their tumors must have spread to other organs and cannot be removed with surgery. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. They will have imaging scans and a test of their heart function. A sample of tumor tissue may be collected if one is not already available. \[212Pb\]VMT-Alpha-NET is given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein. The drug will be given on the first day of four 8-week cycles. Participants will stay in the hospital for a few nights after each dose. They will have blood tests once a week during 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 up to 6 years after the last treatment.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06479811
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06479811 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 1, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 120 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is National Cancer Institute (NCI), which has 2,390 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 6 conditions, with Kidney Cancers appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which 68Ga-DOTATATE is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06479811 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Maryland. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
