177Lu-DOTATATE in Treating Patients with Progressive or High-Risk Grade I-III Meningioma
This phase II trial studies how well 177Lu-DOTATATE works in treating patients with grade I-III meningioma that is growing, spreading, or getting worse or that is high-risk. 177Lu-DOTATATE is a radioactive drug the binds to the hormone receptor somatostatin, type 2, which is found on the surface of meningioma tumor cells. The radioactivity of 177Lu-DOTATATE may kill the tumor cells.

- Women of childbearing potential (WOCB) and men able to father a child must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control, abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in the study, she must inform her treating physician immediately

Exclusion Criteria
- Patients with a clinical diagnosis of NF2 (either by National Institutes of Health [NIH] or Manchester criteria) or with a molecular diagnosis of NF2
