Evaluation of 177Lu-DOTA-EB-FAPI in Patients With Metastatic Radioactive Iodine Refractory Thyroid Cancer

This dose-escalation study will include a maximum of 20 mRAIR-TC subjects with progressive disease after tyrosine kinases inhibitors (TKIs) treatment, with an increased radiotracer uptake in tumors on 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT. The initial dose of 177Lu-DOTA-EB-FAPI is 2.22GBq (60 mCi), and subsequent cohorts receive an incremental 50% dose increase until dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was observed. Treatment is planned for up to 2 cycles, and the time interval between cycles is 6 weeks. The primary endpoint assessed the safety and maximum tolerated dose of 177Lu-DOTA-EB-FAPI used for radioligand therapy in patients with advanced mRAIR-TC. Secondary endpoints included dosimetry and determination of the preliminary treatment efficacy of 177Lu-DOTA-EB-FAPI.
