About this study

Official title: Phase I Open-label, Multi-center Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Dosimetry, and Preliminary Activity of [177Lu]Lu-NNS309 in Patients With Pancreatic, Lung, Breast and Colorectal Cancers

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, dosimetry and preliminary efficacy of [177Lu]Lu-NNS309 and the safety, dosimetry and imaging properties of [68Ga]Ga-NNS309 in patients aged ≥ 18 years with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), HR+/HER2- ductal and lobular breast cancer (BC), triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and colorectal cancer (CRC).

Read the detailed description

The study will be done in two parts. The first part is called "escalation" and the second part is called "expansion". In both parts of the study, patients will initially be imaged with a [68Ga]Ga-NNS309 positron emission tomography (PET)/ computed tomography (CT) or PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan and will be evaluated for eligibility for [177Lu]Lu-NNS309 treatment. In the escalation part, different doses of [177Lu]Lu-NNS309 will then be tested to identify recommended dose(s) (RD(s)) for further evaluation. The expansion part of the study will examine the safety and preliminary efficacy of [177Lu]Lu-NNS309 at the RD(s) determined during the escalation part. The end of study will occur when all patients per disease group in the expansion part have completed the follow-up for disease progression or discontinued from the study for any reason, and all patients have completed treatment and the 36-month long-term follow-up period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with dose limiting toxicities of [177Lu]Lu-NNS309

    A dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as any adverse event or abnormal laboratory value of CTCAE (version 5.0) Grade 3 or higher that occurs within the DLT evaluation period and that is not primarily related to disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications with a few exceptions defined in the study protocol. Other clinically significant toxicities may be considered to be DLTs, even if not Grade 3 or higher.

    Measured: From start of study treatment until 6 weeks or 4 weeks after, depending on dosing schedule

  2. Incidence and severity of adverse events and serious adverse events of [177Lu]Lu-NNS309

    The distribution of adverse events will be done via the analysis of frequencies for treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (TESAEs) and through the monitoring of relevant clinical and laboratory safety parameters.

    Measured: From start of study treatment until completion of the 36 month follow up, assessed up to approximately 42 months

  3. Dose modifications for [177Lu]Lu-NNS309

    Dose modifications (dose interruptions and reductions) for [177Lu]Lu-NNS309 will be assessed and summarized using descriptive statistics. The number of patients with dose modification will be summarized by treatment groups.

    Measured: From start of study treatment until last dose of study treatment, assessed up to approximately 24 weeks

  4. Dose intensity for [177Lu]Lu-NNS309

    Dose intensity for [177Lu]Lu-NNS309 will be assessed and summarized using descriptive statistics. Dose intensity is computed as the ratio of actual cumulative dose received and actual duration of exposure.

    Measured: From start of study treatment until last dose of study treatment, assessed up to approximately 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (17)
  1. Overall response rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with a BOR of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 guidelines.

    Measured: Up to approximately 42 months

  2. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR is the time between the first documented response (CR or PR) and the date of progression according to RECIST v1.1 guidelines, or death due to any cause.

    Measured: Up to approximately 42 months

  3. Disease control rate (DCR)

    DCR is defined as the proportion of patients with a BOR of CR, PR or stable disease according to RECIST v1.1 guidelines.

    Measured: Up to approximately 42 months

  4. Progression free survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from the date of start of treatment to the date of the first documented progression according to RECIST v1.1 guidelines or death due to any cause.

    Measured: Up to approximately 42 months

  5. Area Under the Curve (AUC) of [177Lu]Lu-NNS309

    The [177Lu]Lu-NNS309 pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed based on decay-corrected blood radioactivity concentration data converted to mass units. AUC will be determined by non-compartmental methods.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing [68Ga]Ga-NNS309 and [177Lu]Lu-NNS309 in people with Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma and Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 29 sites in 10 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 8 inclusion and 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 29 sites in United States, Germany, Canada, Spain, France and 5 more countries. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Novartis Pharmaceuticals (1-888-669-6682, novartis.email@novartis.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with dose limiting toxicities of [177Lu]Lu-NNS309 (time frame: From start of study treatment until 6 weeks or 4 weeks after, depending on dosing schedule). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 29 Jul 2026.
