Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Dose FindingEXPERIMENTALDose Finding to determine OBD and potential RP2D in up to 200 patients receiving up to 4 administrations of \[212Pb\]VMT-α-NET approximately 8 weeks apart. A dosimetry sub-study utilizing \[203Pb\]VMT-α-NET is incorporated into the study.
Dose ExpansionEXPERIMENTALDose up to 100 subjects (gastroenteropancreatic NETs, bronchial NETs, and pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma and meningioma) at RP2D for further assessment of safety and preliminary efficacy.
-1 Dose LevelEXPERIMENTALThis dose level is used if the starting dose level is deemed to have unacceptable toxicity. Participants are prescribed \[212Pb\] VMT-α-NET with the total radiation dose to kidneys not to exceed 200 cGy.
Cohort 1EXPERIMENTALThis is the starting dose level for participants. Participants are prescribed \[212Pb\] VMT-α-NET with the total radiation dose to kidneys not to exceed 350 cGy.
Cohort 2EXPERIMENTALIf the participants from Cohort 1 tolerate therapy, new participants are enrolled and are prescribed \[212Pb\] VMT-α-NET with the total radiation dose to kidneys not to exceed 600 cGy.
Cohort 3EXPERIMENTALIf the participants from Cohort 2 tolerate therapy, new participants are enrolled and are prescribed \[212Pb\] VMT-α-NET with the total radiation dose to kidneys not to exceed 810 cGy.
Cohort 4EXPERIMENTALIf the participants from Cohort 3 tolerate therapy, new participants are enrolled and are prescribed \[212Pb\] VMT-α-NET with the total radiation dose to kidneys not to exceed 1050 cGy.

Interventions

NameTypeDescription
[203Pb]VMT-α-NETDRUG\[203Pb\]VMT-α-NET is administered by intravenous bolus injection for single-photon emission computed tomography imaging.
[212Pb]VMT-α-NETDRUG\[212Pb\]VMT-α-NET is administered by intravenous infusion for treatment of SSTR2 expressing tumors.
[212Pb] VMT-α-NETDRUGUp to 2 infusions with \[212Pb\] VMT-α-NET, each infusion separated by at least 8 weeks. During each infusion, the participants also receive an infusion with lysine and arginine (amino acids) to help reduce kidney damage.
[203Pb] VMT-α-NET SPECT/CTDIAGNOSTIC_TESTThe \[203Pb\] VMT-α-NET SPECT/CT is performed for all participants to determine trial eligibility as well as for the calculations to determine the estimated radiation dose to kidneys. This involves three imaging sessions of about 2 hours each over 2 days. The participants also receive an infusion with lysine and arginine (amino acids) to help reduce kidney damage at the time they receive the injection of . \[203Pb\] VMT-α-NET, a radioactive tracer drug.
SPECT/CTDEVICEScans are administered over 3 days: 1 hour post injection, 4 to 8 hours post-injection, 24 to 30 hours post-injection, and 42 to 52 hours post-injection.

Frequently asked questions about VMT-α-NET

What is VMT-α-NET used for?

VMT-α-NET is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors, including unresectable neuroendocrine tumors, neuroendocrine tumor grade 2, and other somatostatin receptor type 2 (SSTR2) positive tumors. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development and is not yet approved by the FDA.

What does VMT-α-NET target?

VMT-α-NET targets somatostatin receptor type 2 (SSTR2), which is expressed on certain neuroendocrine tumors. It is designed to deliver alpha-particle radiation to SSTR2-positive cancer cells, potentially damaging their DNA and causing cell death.

Who is developing VMT-α-NET?

VMT-α-NET is being developed by Perspective Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company. The company is listed on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol CATX.

What phase is VMT-α-NET in?

VMT-α-NET is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not received FDA approval. Clinical trials are ongoing to evaluate its safety and efficacy in patients with neuroendocrine tumors.

What clinical trials is VMT-α-NET in?

VMT-α-NET is being studied in several early-phase clinical trials. These include NCT05111509, a first-in-human trial of an alpha-radiation imaging agent; NCT05636618, a targeted alpha-particle therapy study for advanced SSTR2-positive tumors; and NCT06148636, a safety study of 212Pb-VMT-alpha-NET in patients with neuroendocrine tumors.

Is VMT-α-NET the same as [203Pb]VMT-α-NET and [212Pb]VMT-α-NET?

VMT-α-NET is also known as [203Pb]VMT-α-NET and [212Pb]VMT-α-NET. These names refer to the same compound labeled with different lead isotopes: lead-203 for imaging and lead-212 for therapy. The drug is being investigated for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications in neuroendocrine tumors.
