Exclusion criteria

  • Patient known to harbor any other non-canonical IDH mutations (i.e., non-R132H)

  • History of viral hepatitis or chronic liver disease with active symptoms
  • History of pituitary or adrenal dysfunction
  • Previously diagnosed active infection (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] or viral hepatitis)
  • Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation in this study

Treatment and study plan

Temozolomide

Drug

Patients will begin taking Temozolomide orally on the first 5 days of each 28-day cycle. The first dose will be given the evening before the first infusion of 177Lu-PSMA- 617.

177Lu-PSMA-617

Drug

This agent will be given for 2-6 total doses, spaced 4 weeks (+/-1 week) apart. This will be administered on the 2nd day of the first two cycles of SOC adjuvant temozolomide.

68Ga-PSMA-PET scan/ MRI

Diagnostic Test

Approximately 4 weeks after cycle 2 of radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT), patients will undergo post-treatment imaging with 68Ga- PSMA PET and MRI

Quality of life questionnaires

Behavioral

baseline assessments, QOL surveys will be conducted with XeQOL and FACT-Br at 6 months and 12 months post treatment

Primary outcomes

  1. Descriptively report the toxicity

    Time frame: up to 8 weeks post first infusion

    using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Time frame: 2 years

    PFS will be defined as the time from treatment initiation to progression of disease as noted radiographically per RANO 2.0 criteria or death, whichever occurred first, and will be analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method
