Summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the dosimetry, safety, and tolerability of the investigational radiopharmaceutical \[177Lu\]Lu-XT771 in patients with recurrent glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. \[177Lu\]Lu-XT771 is designed to specifically target and deliver beta radiation directly to tumor cells that overexpress carbonic anhydrase IX and XII (CA IX and CA XII). This early-phase, investigator-initiated trial will enroll a small group of approximately 3-5 patients, each receiving a single dose of \[177Lu\]Lu-XT771. The drug will be administered locoregionally via an implanted Ommaya reservoir, directly into the tumor cavity. Following administration, patients will be closely monitored using single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) to assess the biodistribution of the drug and to quantify the absorbed radiation dose to both the tumor and normal organs. The study will also document all adverse events to characterize the safety profile of the treatment and will provide a preliminary assessment of its anti-tumor activity, as measured by progression-free survival. The information gathered from this exploratory study will be used to determine the recommended safe starting dose for future Phase I clinical trials.

- Renal function: Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN and creatinine clearance rate ≥ 50 mL/min.
- Coagulation: INR ≤ 2.0, APTT ≤ 1.5 × ULN. (Exception: subjects receiving warfarin may have an INR between 2 and 3 inclusive).
- Fertile subjects (and their partners) must agree to use highly effective contraceptive methods (e.g., condoms, oral or injectable contraceptives) during the treatment period and for 6 months after the last dose of the study drug.
Exclusion Criteria16
- Received anti-tumor treatments (including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, biological therapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, etc.) within 4 weeks prior to dosing. Exceptions: (1) immunotherapy, nitrosoureas, or mitomycin C within 6 weeks prior to dosing; (2) oral fluorouracils and small molecule targeted drugs within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to dosing; (3) Traditional Chinese Medicine with anti-tumor indication within 2 weeks prior to dosing; (4) cranial radiotherapy within 3 months prior to dosing.
- Received any other unapproved investigational drug within 4 weeks prior to dosing.
- Underwent major organ surgery (excluding needle biopsy) or experienced significant trauma within 4 weeks prior to dosing, or expected to require elective surgery during the study period.
- Known or suspected allergy to the study drug or its analogue components.
- Inability to undergo contrast-enhanced MRI scans (e.g., due to pacemakers, contrast agent allergy).
- Presence of active or uncontrolled infections requiring systemic intravenous treatment, or unexplained fever >38.5°C during the screening period or before dosing.
- Presence of severe coagulation disorders or evidence of significant bleeding risk; history of gastrointestinal bleeding; any Grade ≥2 bleeding event (CTCAE v5.0) within the past 6 months.
- Active Hepatitis B (HBsAg positive and HBV-DNA > 500 IU/mL or above the lower limit of detection of the study center) or Active Hepatitis C (HCV antibody positive and HCV-RNA > the lower limit of detection of the study center).
- Uncontrolled hypertension as judged by the investigator (systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg despite standard treatment).
- History of severe cardiovascular disease, such as ventricular arrhythmias requiring clinical intervention; QTc interval > 480 ms; acute coronary syndrome, congestive heart failure, stroke, or other ≥ Grade III cardiovascular events within 6 months prior to dosing; NYHA class II-IV or LVEF < 50%.
- History of other uncured malignancies within the past 3 years or concurrently, except for curable in situ cancers (e.g., carcinoma in situ of the cervix, basal cell carcinoma of the skin).
- Presence of two or more intracranial lesions, extracranial metastases, or tumors located in the infratentorial compartment or basal ganglia.
- Brain MRI indicating that the enhancing edge of the tumor invades the ventricular wall, or the surgical cavity communicates with the ventricle.
- Psychiatric disorders or poor compliance.
- Pregnant or lactating women.
- The investigator considers the subject unsuitable for participation in this clinical study due to other severe systemic diseases or other reasons.

Interventions
\[177Lu\]Lu-XT771 is a novel, first-in-human radiopharmaceutical designed to specifically target Carbonic Anhydrase IX (CA IX) and XII (CA XII), which are overexpressed in the glioblastoma microenvironment. Unlike systemic intravenous therapies, this intervention utilizes a highly localized delivery method: a single dose of 3-5 mCi \[177Lu\]Lu-XT771 is injected directly into the tumor resection cavity via a surgically implanted Ommaya reservoir. To ensure precise safety, two specific steps are required: 1) A mandatory pre-treatment leakage test using a \[68Ga\]Ga-XT771 tracer (4-6 mCi) with PET/CT imaging to rule out any leakage into the subcutaneous or subarachnoid spaces; and 2) The extraction of an equivalent volume of cerebrospinal fluid immediately prior to the therapeutic injection. Furthermore, to mitigate radiation-induced cerebral edema, the intervention is paired with a prophylactic regimen of oral dexamethasone (4 mg, three times daily) for 4 days.
