Objectives

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of yttrium Y 90-DOTA-tyr3-octreotide in children with advanced or refractory somatostatin receptor-positive tumors.
  2. Determine the short-term and long-term safety and the serious adverse-event profiles of this drug in these patients.
  3. Determine any potential antitumor effect of this drug in these patients.
  4. Correlate level of somatostatin receptor type 2 expression with response in patients treated with this drug.

Expected Enrollment

35

Approximately 25-35 patients will be accrued for this study.

Outline

This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive yttrium Y 90-DOTA-tyr3-octreotide IV over 5-10 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for up to 3 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of yttrium Y 90-DOTA-tyr3-octreotide until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed weekly after each treatment course, 6 weeks after the last course, and then every 6 months thereafter for life.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
