This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of [212Pb] VMT-alpha-NET in treating patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) that does not respond to treatment (refractory) or has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed). [212Pb] VMT-alpha-NET is a radioactive drug consisting of the human somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-targeting peptide with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration of [212Pb] VMT-alpha-NET, the peptide molecule specifically targets and binds to SSTR, which is present on the cell membranes of many types of NETs. SSTR is overexpressed on NETs while most normal tissues express low levels of SSTR. This allows for the specific delivery of a cytotoxic dose of alpha radiation to SSTR-positive cells to help kill tumor cells. Information gained from this trial may help researchers determine the safety and best dose of [212Pb] VMT-alpha-NET for patients with relapsed or refractory neuroendocrine tumors.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Determine the recommended phase 2 dose for therapy with lead Pb 212 VMT-a-NET ([212Pb]VMT-Α-NET) administered intravenously to patients with neuroendocrine tumors that have progressed despite therapy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine objective response rate (as per RECIST 1.1) in patients with treatment refractory neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) when treated with [212Pb] VMT-alpha-NET.
II. Determine the maximum tolerated critical organ dose limit for kidneys for therapy with [212Pb]VMT-Α-NET administered intravenously to patients with neuroendocrine tumors that have progressed despite therapy.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. Explore the patient experience using quality of life and patient-reported symptoms in patients with treatment refractory neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) when treated with [212Pb] VMT-alpha-NET.
II. Explore relationship between renal radiation dose from treatment with [212Pb] VMT-alpha-NET and measures of early renal tubular toxicity using urine measurement of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL).
III. Explore relationship between [212Pb] VMT-alpha-NET induced early renal tubular toxicity (using NGAL) and long term renal function.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of lead Pb 212 VMT-a-NET.
Patients recieve lead Pb 203 VMT-a-NET intravenously (IV) over 10 minutes and undergo single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) over 1 hour for 3-4 imaging sessions over 2-3 days at baseline. Within 6 months of lead Pb 203 VMT-a-NET SPECT/CT imaging, patients recieve lead Pb 212 VMT-a-NET IV over 20-30 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 8-12 weeks for up to 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during screening and follow-up. Patients also undergo blood sample collection throughout the trial.
Upon completion to study intervention, patients are followed weekly for weeks 2-8, at months 3, 6, and 12 and twice yearly for years 2 and 3 and then yearly for years 4 and 5.
