Compartmental Radioimmunotherapy with 177Lu-DTPA-Omburtamab for the Treatment of Children and Adolescents with Recurrent or Refractory Brain Tumors that Express B7-H3

Trial Status: active

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of compartmental radioimmunotherapy (cRIT) using 177Lu-DTPA-omburtamab and how well it works in treating children and adolescents with central nervous system (CNS) tumors that express B7-H3 and that have come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that have not responded to previous treatment (refractory). 177Lu-DTPA-omburtamab is a type of radioimmunotherapy. It combines a monoclonal antibody (omburtamab) with a radioactive material (lutetium-177). The antibody attaches to a protein called B7-H3 that is found on the surface of many tumor cells. Once attached, the radioactive material delivers radiation directly to the tumor cells to kill them. This targeted approach may help protect healthy cells from damage. In this study, the 177Lu-DTPA-omburtamab will be given directly into the fluid-filled space in the brain. This allows the drug to reach the tumor cells in the brain and spinal fluid. Giving cRIT with 177Lu-DTPA-omburtamab may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating children or adolescents with recurrent or refractory CNS cancers that express B7-H3.
