MP0712 (212Pb x DLL3), Radio-DARPin – DLL3 Radioligand Therapy Trial for Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

MP0712 (212Pb x DLL3), Radio-DARPin – DLL3 Radioligand Therapy Trial for Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

Update 2nd July 2026. First patients dosed.  Molecular Partners and Orano Med have dosed the first patients in a US Phase 1/2a trial of MP0712, a novel Radio-DARPin drug targeting DLL3, a protein highly expressed in small cell lung cancer and other neuroendocrine tumors. This therapy uses lead-212 to deliver targeted alpha radiation to tumors, aiming to improve treatment precision and reduce side effects. Initial safety and efficacy data are expected later in 2026, with comprehensive results anticipated in 2027. The trial is ongoing at five US sites, with more centers planned to open this year. What is Radioligand Therapy?…

Clinical Trial – Lutathera NETTER-2 Important Update

UPDATE - June 5th 2024. [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE plus long-acting octreotide versus high‑dose long-acting octreotide for the treatment of newly diagnosed, advanced grade 2–3, well-differentiated, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (NETTER-2): an open-label, randomised, phase 3 study Summary There are currently no standard first-line treatment options for patients with higher grade 2–3, well-differentiated, advanced, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of first-line [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE (177Lu-Dotatate) treatment.MethodsNETTER-2 was an open-label, randomised, parallel-group, superiority, phase 3 trial. We enrolled patients (aged ≥15 years) with newly diagnosed higher grade 2 (Ki67 ≥10% and ≤20%) and grade 3 (Ki67 >20% and ≤55%), somatostatin receptor-positive…

All you need to know about Somatostatin Receptor PET/CT Scans for Neuroendocrine Tumours

Cancer is a growth industry ...literally! More people are being diagnosed than ever before. Fortunately, more people are surviving than ever before. This is against a backdrop of better awareness, better screening in the big population cancers, and to a certain extent better diagnostic tools, all of which is leading to earlier diagnosis. So how does this affect Neuroendocrine Cancer? According to the latest SEER database figures for Neuroendocrine Cancer, one reason for the 7 fold increase in incidence rates since the 1970s is all of those things above including better diagnostics. This has led to a revised set of…
