Trial Information
Pediatric brain cancer is relatively rare. However, cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among children in the U.S. Brain and spinal cord tumors are the 2nd most common cancers in children, accounting for ~26% of childhood cancers.
Plus Therapeutics is developing the Rhenium (186Re) Obisbemeda radiotherapeutic for the treatment of rare, frequently fast-growing pediatric brain and spinal cord tumors with a poor prognosis – ependymoma and high-grade glioma (HGG). The ReSPECT-PBC (Pediatric Brain Cancer) U.S. Phase 1 Clinical Trial is planned to start in 2024.
“Children with brain tumors have limited options & 186RNL delivered with a minimally invasive procedure could be an important new potential option for these patients.”
Michael G. DeCuypere, MD, PhD, FAANS
Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine
Principal Investigators
There is a physician who is responsible for the scientific and technical direction of the clinical trial at each location.
Ashley S. Plant, M.D.

- In November 2022, Plus Therapeutics, in collaboration with Lurie Children’s Hospital investigators, anticipates filing an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for a first-in-child Phase 1/2a clinical trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose, safety, tolerability and early efficacy of rhenium (186Re) obisbemeda in supratentorial recurrent or progressive pediatric ependymoma and high-grade glioma (HGG) in up to 24 patients initially. These plans were presented in a poster titled, “A two-part, Phase 1 study of Rhenium-186 NanoLiposome (186RNL) delivered by convection enhanced delivery (CED) for recurrent or progressive childhood ependymoma and high-grade glioma (HGG) [CTNI-19]”.
