About
This phase II trial studies how well lutathera works in treating patients with meningioma that cannot be treated with surgery (inoperable) and is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive) after external beam radiation therapy. Lutathera is a radioactive drug administered in the vein that is designed to target and kill tumor cells. The goal of this study is to determine whether this drug is safe and effective in treating meningiomas that progress after radiation treatment. WHO Grade I and Cohort WHO II/III cohorts will be evaluated.
Full description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the efficacy of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate (LUTATHERA) treatment in patients with recurrent grade 1 meningioma as measured by 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate.
II. To estimate the efficacy of LUTATHERA treatment in patients with recurrent grade 2 or 3 meningioma as measured by 6-month PFS rate.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the overall survival (by grade cohort) of patients with recurrent meningioma during or after treatment of LUTATHERA.
II. To determine the progression-free survival (by grade cohort) of patients with recurrent meningioma during or after treatment of LUTATHERA.
III. To determine the toxicity of LUTATHERA treatment in patients with recurrent meningioma.
CORRELATIVE RESEARCH OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the impact of treatment on the patient's quality of life (QOL) using the Promise-10, Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI), and Mayo Patient Survey National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)-Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) Brain Symptom Index Questionnaire-24 (FBrSI-24) (version 2) instruments.
II. To compare the response assessment between standard of care brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and gallium Ga 68-DOTATATE (68Ga-DOTATATE) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.
III. To determine the best objective response (Macdonald criteria) of patients with recurrent meningioma during or after treatment of LUTATHERA.
IV. To determine the duration of local control with death as a competing risk (by grade cohort) of patients with recurrent meningioma during or after treatment of LUTATHERA.
V. To perform a quantitative dosimetric analysis of radiation dose delivered with lutathera:
Va. To determine intratherapeutic dosimetry for the target meningioma; Vb. To correlate treatment response of lutathera with target dose received; Vc. To determine intratherapeutic dosimetry for kidneys and other abdominal organs.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive gallium Ga 68-DOTATATE intravenously (IV) and undergo a PET/MRI or PET/computed tomography (CT) before cycles 1 and 4. Patients then receive lutetium Lu 177 dotatate IV over 30-40 minutes. Treatment repeats every 8 weeks for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo MRI on study and during follow-up, as well as blood sample collection and possible single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT dosimetry on study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for up to 5 years.

Inclusion criteria
- Previous treatment for meningioma including surgery, when possible, and radiation therapy (conventional fractionated or radiosurgery). Pathologic confirmation of meningioma is not required for patients who are not surgical candidates and received radiation therapy based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) consistent with meningioma. Patients with prior surgery will have pathologic confirmation of meningioma with either formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor block OR meningioma tissue slides available for submission to central pathology review
- Radiographic evidence of meningioma progression with measurable disease, defined as an increase in size of the measurable primary lesion on imaging by 15% or more (sum of the bidirectional measurements) in an approximate 6 month time period (i.e., calculated rate of growth 15% / 6 months based on available scans) or by the appearance of a new measurable lesion
- Previous treatment with either fractionated radiation therapy or stereotactic radiosurgery at the site of progressive meningioma, without safe option for further radiotherapy
- Willing to undergo 68Ga-DOTATATE PET imaging. 68Ga-DOTATATE PET imaging must be Krenning score must be a score of 2 or higher, suggesting somatostatin receptor expression, to be registered on the study. A PET/MRI is preferred, but PET/CT is permitted if a patient is not technically able to receive a PET/MRI or at the discretion of the primary investigator (PI).
- Measurable disease
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) =< 2
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1500/mm (obtained =< 28 days prior to registration)
- Platelet count >= 100,000/mm (obtained =< 28 days prior to registration)
- Hemoglobin >= 9.0 g/dL (obtained =< 28 days prior to registration)
- Direct bilirubin < 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (or total bilirubin =< 3.0 x ULN with direct bilirubin =< 1.5 x ULN in patients with well-documented Gilbert's syndrome) (obtained =< 28 days prior to registration)
- Aspartate transaminase (AST) =< 3 x ULN (obtained =< 28 days prior to registration)
- Prothrombin time (PT)/international normalized ratio (INR)/partial thromboplastin time (PTT) =< 1.5 x ULN OR if patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy and PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of coagulants (obtained =< 28 days prior to registration)
- Calculated creatinine clearance must be >= 40 ml/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula (obtained =< 28 days prior to registration) using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CDK-EPI) equation.
- Ability to complete questionnaire(s) by themselves or with assistance
- Provide written informed consent
- Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up (during the Active Monitoring Phase of the study) and it is highly recommend to see study staff in Radiation Oncology, Medical Oncology and/or Neuro-Oncology during the Event Monitoring Phase of the study.
- Until 21 SPECT/CT slots are filled, willing to undergo SPECT/CT imaging for dosimetry analysis.
Exclusion criteria
-
Eligibility for surgical or radiation treatment with curative intent
-
Any of the following because this study involves an agent that has known genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects:
- Pregnant women (NOTE: Patients with surgical sterilization or who have been post-menopausal for at least 2 years are excluded form pregnancy testing, but this must be documented.)
- Nursing women
- Men or women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception
