Summary description of the study

The study examines patients with a neuroendocrine tumor. This tumor originates from neuroendocrine cells of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas, which can secrete messengers or hormones. We conduct this study to investigate the safety and efficacy of a newly developed substance 161Tb-DOTA-LM3 that specifically binds to certain surface structures of neuroendocrine cells and irradiates the tumors in a targeted manner.

(BASEC)

Intervention under investigation

The study investigates the newly developed substance 161Tb-DOTA-LM3. The new drug (161Tb-DOTA-LM3) shows in previous studies more binding sites on certain surface structures of tumor cells, called somatostatin receptors, and therefore leads to a higher radiation dose in the tumor cells than previously used substances. In this study, the safety, indications of efficacy, and distribution of 161Tb-DOTA-LM3 in the body will be determined.
