Abstract
Abstract BACKGROUND There are no effective medical therapies for patients with meningioma who progress after surgical and radiotherapeutic interventions. Somatostatin receptor type 2 (SSTR2) represents a promising treatment target in meningiomas. Here, we describe our experience with use of 177Lu-DOTATE in recurrent meningioma PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a retrospective study. All patients had progressive intracranial meningiomas and were heavily pre-treated. Patients underwent 68Ga-DOTATATE PET-MRI at baseline and received 177Lu-DOTATATE every eight weeks for up to four doses. We collected patient demographics, tumor grade, treatment history prior to starting 177Lu-DOTATATE, duration of treatment, toxicities, overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Descriptive statistics were used to summarize patient’s characteristics. RESULTS Seven patients (female = 2, male = 5) with progressive meningiomas (WHO 1 = 1, 2 = 1, 3 = 5) were enrolled. Median age was 56 (range 41-72) years. All patients previously underwent tumor resection and at least one course of radiation. Treatment with 177Lu-DOTATATE was well tolerated. Three patients achieved PFS-6. One patient with malignant meningioma remains progression free at 13 months. Three patients remain on active treatment. Best radiographic response was stable disease (SD) in six patients. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with 177Lu-DOTATATE was well tolerated and demonstrated encouraging efficacy. Updated survival data will be presented.
