This is a single arm trial with one Cohort for people with recurrent or metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma that cannot be treated with surgery. 10 participants will be enrolled in Cohort 1 at Johns Hopkins and will undergo DCFPyL PET/CT and 177Lu-PSMA dosimetry imaging only (single tracer dose). A feasibility analysis of dosimetry will be performed after meeting the accrual goal of Cohort 1 to determine if the study will proceed into Cohort 2. If Cohort 2 proceeds, based on the dosimetry analysis, the major requirements of the study are to undergo treatment with 177Lu-PNT2002, have bloodwork, physical exams, and imaging done at study-specific time points, and to answer questionnaires. Patients will be in the study for about two years after enrolling.
Malignant salivary gland tumors account for approximately 3% to 5% of all head and neck cancers with approximately 0.4 to 2.6 cases per 100,000 people. Most patients present in the sixth to seventh decade of life. Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) accounts for about 10% of all tumors of the salivary glands, often arises from the minor and major salivary glands but can also involve lacrimal and ceruminous glands, as well as other sites in the head and neck (nasal and paranasal sinuses, trachea, and larynx). Anatomically, ACC originates from the intercalated duct region and proliferates in three distinct architectural patterns: tubular, cribriform, and solid. In the setting of recurrent and metastatic (R/M) ACC, first-line options include single-agent vinorelbine or mitoxantrone, or cyclophosphamide plus doxorubicin plus cisplatin (CAP). Overall response rates (ORR) are usually less than 15%. There are no effective second line options. While epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been shown to be overexpressed in some ACC, none of the phase II clinical trials of single agent cetuximab, gefitinib, or lapatinib demonstrated an objective response. Many cases of ACC also express the c-kit protein, however, use of single agent imatinib in patients with c-kit expression confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) failed to produce an objective response. Phase II single agent sunitinib exhibited no objective response. Median progression free survival (PFS) of these phase II trials ranged from 3.5 months to 7.2 months. Ultimately, most patients with R/M ACC die from cancer, highlighting the need for effective therapies. The investigators aim to examine and analyze PSMA-PET uptake in ACC to establish whether it is correlated to absorbed tumor dose and objective response in Cohort 1 participants.

10 patients will undergo DCFPyL PET/CT and 177Lu-PSMA dosimetry imaging only (single tracer dose). If opened, Cohort 2 patients will receive 4 cycles, every 8 weeks of 177Lu-PSMA infusion. Other procedures during treatment and follow up may include: physical exam, CT/MRI, PSMA-PET, blood draws, adverse event assessment, and completion of questionnaires.

Absorbed dose in tumor and normal organs
Objective is to measure absorbed dose in tumor and normal organs using SPECT/CT dosimetry (Cohort 1)
Time frame: One dose during one day
Objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST 1.1 measured in patients treated with 177Lu-PSMA for recurrent and metastatic ACC.
Only relevant for Cohort 2 patients: Measure response rate (ORR) by RECIST 1.1 in participants treated with 177Lu-PSMA for recurrent and metastatic ACC.
Time frame: Pre-treatment, 6 months post treatment
Stability of Disease: Proportion of patients with Stable Disease
Cohort 2 participants only. Stability of disease at 6 months is defined as the proportion of patients with SD as assessed per RECIST 1.1 at 6 months after the last cycle of treatment. This 6-month post treatment time point will vary based on the total number of cycles the patient receives.
Time frame: 6 months post treatment
Progression Free Survival
Only relevant if able to enroll Cohort 2 patients: The distribution of progression free survival will be plotted using the Kaplan Meier method and median values will be estimated and reported with 95% CIs
Time frame: 24 months after Day 1, Cycle 1 of treatment (each cycle is 8 weeks)
Overall Survival
Only relevant if able to enroll Cohort 2 patients: The distribution of overall survival will be plotted using the Kaplan Meier method and median values will be estimated and reported with 95% CIs
Time frame: 24 months after Day 1, Cycle 1 of treatment (each cycle is 8 weeks)
Duration of Response
Cohort 2 participants only. Objective response will be defined as evidence of CR, PR, or stable disease. The duration of response will be measured from the start of treatment until the criteria for progression are met. Duration of CR or PR: The duration of response (DoR) of CR or PR will be recorded from the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that current or progressive disease is objectively documented (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started). Duration of Stable Disease: Stable disease is measured from the start of the treatment until the criteria for progression are met, taking as reference the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started.
Time frame: 24 months after Day 1 of treatment
Xerostomia questionnaire (XQ) score
Only relevant if able to enroll Cohort 2 patients: Xerostomia questionnaire (XQ) will be completed by patients at baseline, prior to each dose of 177Lu-PSMA, at end of treatment, and at follow up visits. XQ measures severity of radiation-induced xerostomia and patient reported quality of life. 8 question total:4 on dryness while eating/chewing, 4 on dryness when not eating/chewing. 0-10 (higher scores=severe dryness/discomfort). Composite Scores range from 0 (no xerostomia) -100 (highest level of xerostomia).
Time frame: 24 months after Day 1 of treatment
European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Head and Neck Module (EORTC QLQ-HN43)
Only relevant if able to enroll Cohort 2 patients: European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Head and Neck Module (EORTC QLQ-HN43) will be completed by patients at baseline, prior to each dose of 177Lu-PSMA, at end of treatment, and at follow up visits. Answers given according to a 4-point Likert scale, and then transformed so that 0% indicated least symptoms, and 100% most symptoms.
Time frame: 24 months after Day 1 of treatment
