Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Phase 1a - Cohort AEXPERIMENTALUp to six subjects will be enrolled in Cohort A. Tumor size will be limited to a maximum diameter of (less than or equal to) ≤2 cm and a maximum volume of (less than or equal to) ≤4.2 mL. Up to two CED catheters will be utilized in Cohort A at the discretion and consensus of the PI, neurosurgeon, and/or study team. The concentration of 186RNL infusate in Cohort A is 0.5 mCi/mL, with a corresponding estimated absorbed dose of \~87.5Gy.
Phase 1a - Cohort BEXPERIMENTALUp to six subjects will be enrolled in Cohort B. Tumor size will be limited to a maximum diameter of 3.5 cm in the longest axis and a maximum volume of 22.4 mL. Up to 5 total catheters may be used for Cohort B at the discretion and consensus of the PI, neurosurgeon, and/or study team to ensure total tumor volume coverage. The concentration of 186RNL infusate in Cohort B is 1.0 mCi/mL with a corresponding estimated absorbed dose of \~176Gy (\~2x Cohort A).
Phase 1bEXPERIMENTALPhase 1b continued dosing escalation will be defined following review of the safety data from Phase 1a.
Phase 2EXPERIMENTALThe Phase 2 expansion study will utilize the maximum tolerable dose (MFD) determined from the Phase 1 dose escalation study. If no maximal tolerable dose is found, tumors may be treated up to an estimated total absorbed dose of 176 Gy. Varying concentrations of 186RNL infusate (0.5-2.5 mCi/mL) may be used to achieve this maximum tolerable dose while maintaining total tumor volume coverage. Phase 2a will enroll an additional 12 patients with a diagnosis of recurrent, refractory, or progressive ependymoma and an additional 20 patients with a diagnosis of recurrent, refractory, or progressive HGG.

Frequently asked questions about Rhenium-186 Nanoliposome

What is Rhenium-186 Nanoliposome used for?

Rhenium-186 Nanoliposome is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of ependymoma, a type of tumor that can occur in the brain or spine. It is also being evaluated in high-grade gliomas. The drug is currently in Phase 1 clinical development for these oncology indications.

What does Rhenium-186 Nanoliposome target?

Rhenium-186 Nanoliposome is a radiotherapeutic agent that delivers the radioisotope rhenium-186. It is designed to deliver targeted radiation to tumor sites, potentially damaging cancer cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. The specific molecular target is not disclosed in the available information.

Who makes Rhenium-186 Nanoliposome?

Rhenium-186 Nanoliposome is being developed by PLUS THERAPEUTICS, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company. The company's stock is traded under the ticker symbol PSTV. The drug is currently in Phase 1 clinical trials for the treatment of ependymoma and high-grade gliomas.

What phase is Rhenium-186 Nanoliposome in?

Rhenium-186 Nanoliposome is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The ongoing Phase 1 trial is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose, safety, and tolerability of the drug in pediatric patients.

What clinical trials is Rhenium-186 Nanoliposome in?

Rhenium-186 Nanoliposome is being studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial with the identifier NCT07061626. This trial is titled 'Determine Maximum Tolerated Dose, Safety, and Tolerability of Rhenium (186Re) in Pediatric Recurrent, Refractory or Progressive Ependymoma and High-Grade Glioma.' The trial is not yet recruiting and has an estimated enrollment of 56 participants.

Is Rhenium-186 Nanoliposome the same as 186Re?

Rhenium-186 Nanoliposome is also referred to as 186Re in clinical trial documentation. The drug is a nanoliposomal formulation of the radioisotope rhenium-186, which is being investigated for its potential to deliver targeted radiation therapy to tumors in patients with ependymoma and high-grade gliomas.
