About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Dose, Safety and Tolerability of an Intraperitoneal α-emitting Radionuclide Therapy (Radspherin®) in Patients With Platinum Sensitive Recurrent Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube or Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma With Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Following CRS

RAD-18-001 is a First-In-Man, Dose Escalation study conducted at 2 sites. The dose escalation will be performed based on a 3 + 3 design. Increasing dose levels starting at 1 MBq will be followed by 2, 4 and 7 MBq. If the highest dose level of 7 MBq is reached without Dose Limiting Toxicicities (which will stop the dose escalation), this will be the recommended dose for further exploration. Each subject will be followed until disease progression (in the abdominal cavity), or for 24 months after the administration of Radspherin® (whichever comes first).

In the expansion cohort the subject will receive the recommended dose. The expansion cohort will be conducted at 4 sites. Each subject will be followed until disease progression (in the abdominal cavity), or for 24 months after the administration of Radspherin® (whichever comes first).

Read the detailed description

The maximum number of subjects enrolled in this study is 49.

The following number of subjects will be recruited in the different cohorts:

  • Dose escalation cohorts: 3 - 24 Subjects
  • Expansion cohort: Up to 25 Subjects

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • RadspherinDrug

    Radspherin® suspension consists of bio-degradable calcium carbonate micro particles with the α-emitting radionuclide 224Ra in suspension. 224Ra has a physical half-life of 3.6 days. The Sponsor will provide Radspherin® in single dose glass vial and the dose for each subject will be prepared at the site.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of participants with Dose Limiting Toxicities as assessed by CTCAE v5.0.

    To investigate safety and toxicity of Radspherin®

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    To determine the MTD of Radspherin®, among the four suggested doses 1, 2, 4 and 7 MBq, as a single intraperitoneal (IP) injection and two repeated IP injections following cytoreductive surgery (CRS)

    Measured: 21 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Radspherin in people with Peritoneal Carcinomatosis and Ovarian Cancer, run by Oncoinvent Solutions AS at 4 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 20 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Spain, Belgium, Norway. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with Dose Limiting Toxicities as assessed by CTCAE v5.0. (time frame: 24 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03732768, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Apr 2026.
