Radioimmunotherapy With Lu-177 Labeled 6A10 Fab-fragments in Patients With Glioblastoma After Standard Treatment

Locoregional, intracavitary radioimmunotherapy (iRIT) with a newly developed radioimmunoconjugate (Lu-177 labeled 6A10-Fab-fragments) will be used to prevent or postpone tumour recurrence in patients with GBM following standard therapy . Following study objectives will be analyzed: * Determining the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) * Determining safety by assessing all new neurological, hematological and other AEs CTC grade 2 or higher * Determining absorbed dose to the 2 cm shell of the resection cavity (based on a series of SPECT/CTs of the head 2h,24h,48h, 72h p.i. and on day 5-7) * Determining absorbed dose values for the kidneys, the liver, the active marrow (based on a series of SPECT/CTs of the abdomen 2h,24h,48h, 72h p.i. and on day 5-7) * Determining 24 weeks Progression-Free-Survival (PFS), defined from the day of inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

* Written patient consent after comprehensive information
* Age between 18 and 80 years
* Primary supratentorial high grade glioma after standard therapy (fluorescence-guided surgery, radio-chemotherapy, concomitant + adjuvant chemotherapy), with no or stable small tumor residue (residual contrast enhancement of up to 5cm3) at earliest 6 weeks after completion of radiotherapy
* Histological verification of glioblastoma and CA 12-expression of tumor cells confirmed
* Karnofsky-score ≥ 60
* Volume of resection cavity 2,5-25 cm3
* Male and female patients with reproductive potential must use an approved contraceptive method
* Pre-menopausal female patients with childbearing potential: a negative serum pregnancy test must be obtained prior to treatment start
* Adequate bone marrow reserve: white blood cell (WBC) count ≥3000/μl, granulocyte count \>1500/μl, platelets ≥100000/μl, hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dl
* Adequate liver function: bilirubin \< 1.5 times above upper limit of normal range (ULN), alanine transaminase (ALT/SGPT) and aspartate transaminase (AST/SGOT) \< 3 times ULN. In the case of documented or suspected Gilbert's disease bilirubin \< 3 times ULN.
* Blood clotting: INR (=PT) and PTT within acceptable limits according to the investigator
* Adequate renal function: creatinine \< 3 times above ULN; eGFR \> (or equal) 60 ml/min

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patient unable to undergo imaging by CT, PET or contrast-enhanced MRI for whatever reason (i.e., pacemaker)
* Resection cavity with intraventricular access
* Significant leakage of radioactivity into CSF spaces or ventricles
* Other actively treated invasive malignancy
* Breastfeeding women
* Past medical history of diseases with poor prognosis, e.g., severe coronary heart disease, heart failure (NYHA III/IV), severe and poorly controlled diabetes, immune deficiency, residual deficits after stroke, severe mental retardation, pre-existing neurological diseases except those related to glioblastoma or other serious concomitant systemic disorders incompatible with the study (at the discretion of the investigator)
* Any active infection (at the discretion of the investigator)
* Previous participation in a registered clinical trial with therapeutic intervention less than 6 weeks prior to enrolment (date of informed consent)
* Allergy against known constituents of study medication
