RAD-18-001 is a First-In-Man, Dose Escalation study conducted at 2 sites. The dose escalation will be performed based on a 3 + 3 design. Increasing dose levels starting at 1 MBq will be followed by 2, 4 and 7 MBq. If the highest dose level of 7 MBq is reached without Dose Limiting Toxicicities (which will stop the dose escalation), this will be the recommended dose for further exploration. Each subject will be followed until disease progression (in the abdominal cavity), or for 24 months after the administration of Radspherin® (whichever comes first).
In the expansion cohort the subject will receive the recommended dose. The expansion cohort will be conducted at 4 sites. Each subject will be followed until disease progression (in the abdominal cavity), or for 24 months after the administration of Radspherin® (whichever comes first).

Official Title: | A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Dose, Safety and Tolerability of an Intraperitoneal α-emitting Radionuclide Therapy (Radspherin®) in Patients With Platinum Sensitive Recurrent Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube or Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma With Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Following CRS |

Experimental: Radspherin |
Drug: Radspherin
Radspherin® suspension consists of bio-degradable calcium carbonate micro particles with the α-emitting radionuclide 224Ra in suspension. 224Ra has a physical half-life of 3.6 days. The Sponsor will provide Radspherin® in single dose glass vial and the dose for each subject will be prepared at the site. |
- Number of participants with Dose Limiting Toxicities as assessed by CTCAE v5.0. [ Time Frame: 24 months ]To investigate safety and toxicity of Radspherin®
- Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) [ Time Frame: 21 days ]To determine the MTD of Radspherin®, among the four suggested doses 1, 2, 4 and 7 MBq, as a single intraperitoneal (IP) injection and two repeated IP injections following cytoreductive surgery (CRS)
