Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (7)
Phase I: Incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) of [177Lu]-NeoB
A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as a clinically relevant adverse event or abnormal laboratory value not attributable to the disease or disease-related processes under investigation, considered possibly related to \[177Lu\]-NeoB that occurs within 42 days following the first administration of \[177Lu\]-NeoB (cycle 1) and meets any of the criteria listed in Table 6-4 (Criteria for defining dose-limiting toxicities).
Within 42 days following the first administration of [177Lu]-NeoB
Phase I: Determination of Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)/ Recommended phase two dose (RP2D) of [177Lu]-NeoB
The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of \[177Lu\]-NeoB will be identified: 1. MTD is defined as the lowest single dose at which 25% or more of the patients experienced a DLT during the first cycle (6 weeks). 2. RP2D is defined as the single dose level below the MTD. The number of cycles recommended for Phase II will be defined based on the cumulative dose toxicities reported during Phase I.
Within 42 days following the first administration of [177Lu]-NeoB
Phase IIa (Cohorts A, B and C): Individual clinical responses assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1)
To assess the anti-tumor activity of \[177Lu\]-NeoB at the RP2D across different solid tumors
25 months
Phase IIa (Cohort E): Absorbed radiation doses of [177Lu]-NeoB in organs and tumor lesions
Absorbed radiation doses in organs and tumor lesions will be summarized with descriptive statistics. Lesion number will be assigned by dosimetry expert.
6 weeks
Phase IIa (Cohort E): Concentration of [177Lu]-NeoB in blood over time and derived PK parameters
Venous whole blood samples will be collected for activity-based pharmacokinetics characterization. Concentration of \[177Lu\]-NeoB will be listed and summarized using descriptive statistics.
6 weeks
Phase I: identify maximum tolerated and/or recommended Phase II dose
18 months
Phase II: assess disease control rate 20 weeks after completion of treatment
18 months

Study Arms (8)
Phase I Cohort 1 (DL1(50mCi + 150mCi)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants received the 1.85 GBq (50mCi) +/- 10% of \[177Lu\]-NeoB at cycle 1 and then received 5.55 GBq (150mCi)+/- 10% of \[177Lu\]-NeoB for at least 3 cycles.
Phase I Cohort 2 (DL2 200mCi)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants received the 9.25 GBq (250mCi) +/- 10% of \[177Lu\]-NeoB once every 6 weeks for at least 3 cycles.
Phase I Cohort 3 (DL3 250mCi)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants received the 11.1 GBq (300mCi) +/- 10% of \[177Lu\]-NeoB once every 6 weeks for at least 3 cycles.
Phase II Cohort A (Breast Cancer)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants received the 9.25 GBq (250mCi) +/- 10% of \[177Lu\]-NeoB once every 6 weeks for at least 3 cycles.
