         3. Cohort C: GIST

         4. Cohort D: Patients affected by any advanced/metastatic solid tumor type
         known to overexpress GRPR including recurrent GBM, and with moderate
         impaired renal function defined as creatinine clearance (calculated using
         the Cockcroft-Gault formula, or measured) ≥ 30 mL/min and < 60 mL/min

         ** Enrollment in cohort D will no longer be allowed with implementation of
         protocol version 07. **

         5. Cohort E: Breast cancer with histology as follows: HR positive with ER > 10%
         of nuclei stain, HER-2 negative including HER-2 low as assessed on the
         primary diagnosis, or prostate cancer, or GIST

   3. At least one measurable lesion as per RECIST 1.1, RANO (applicable for GBM only)
   criteria detected on the low-dose CT or on the MRI (for GBM MRI only) acquired
   together with the [68Ga]-NeoB PET.

   The same identified measurable lesion shows [68Ga]-NeoB uptake on PET/CT or PET/MRI.

   metastatic setting. Patients with prior treatment with trastuzumab deruxtecan,
   alpelisib or elascestrant are also eligible. In case of confirmed presence of
   deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, the patient
   must also have already received a PARP inhibitor-based therapy.

      [177Lu]-NeoB treatment

      - Biologic therapy (e.g., antibodies), continuous or intermittent small molecule
      therapeutics, or any other investigational agents within a period which is ≤ 5
      T1/2 or ≤ 14 days (whichever is shorter) prior to starting [177Lu]-NeoB treatment

19. History of somatic or psychiatric disease/condition that may interfere with the
   objectives and assessments of the study.

20. Malignant disease, other than that being treated in this study. Exceptions to this
   exclusion include the following: malignancies that were treated curatively and have
   not recurred within 2 years prior to [177Lu]-NeoB treatment; completely resected basal
   cell and squamous cell skin cancers; any malignancy considered to be indolent and that
   has never required therapy; and completely resected carcinoma in situ of any type.

21. Pregnant or breast-feeding women

22. Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of
   becoming pregnant, are not allowed to participate in this study UNLESS they are using
   highly effective methods of contraception throughout the study and for 7 months after
   study drug discontinuation. Highly effective contraception methods include:

      - True abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of
      the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal,
      post-ovulation methods), declaration of abstinence for the duration of exposure
      to IMPs, and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.

      - Male or female sterilization. Vasectomised partner is a highly effective birth
      control method if the partner is the sole sexual partner of the study participant
      and the vasectomised partner has received medical assessment of the surgical
      success.

      - Women tubal ligation is an acceptable highly effective contraception method, but
      surgical sterility is defined as bilateral salpingectomy (or bilateral
      oophorectomy or hysterectomy).

      - Combination of any two of the following (a+b or a+c or b+c):

         1. Use of oral, injected, or implanted hormonal methods of contraception. In
         case of use of oral contraception, women should be stable on the same pill
         for a minimum of 3 months before taking [177Lu]-NeoB treatment. This is not
         applicable for patients with breast cancer.

         2. Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS). IUS
         is not applicable for patients with breast cancer.

         3. Barrier methods of contraception: condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or
         cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/vaginal
         suppository Post-menopausal women are allowed to participate in this study.
         Women are considered post-menopausal and not of child bearing potential if
         they have had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an
         appropriate clinical profile (e.g. age appropriate, history of vasomotor
         symptoms) or six months of spontaneous amenorrhea with serum
         Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) levels > 40 mIU/mL [for US only: and
         estradiol < 20 pg/mL] or have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy or
         bilateral salpingectomy or hysterectomy or tubal ligation at least six weeks
         prior to screening. In the case of oophorectomy alone, only when the
         reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone
         level assessment is she considered not of childbearing potential.

   Sexually active males must use a condom during intercourse while taking the drug and
   for 4 months after stopping treatment and should not father a child in this period. A
   condom is required to be used also by vasectomized men in order to prevent delivery of
   the drug via seminal fluid. Female partners of childbearing potential should use
   highly effective contraceptive methods during and up to 4 months after stopping
   treatment.

23. Use of other investigational drugs within 30 days prior to informed consent signature.

24. Cohorts A, B, and C: Patient currently receiving NEP inhibitors (e.g., Entresto,
   racecadotril) and for whom images for dosimetry assessments cannot be acquired.

25. Cohort E only: Patient meeting at least one of the following conditions

      - Currently receiving NEP inhibitors (e.g., Entresto, racecadotril)

      - Known history of angioedema related to previous angiotensin-converting enzyme
      (ACE) inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) therapy or hereditary or
      idiopathic angioedema

      - Hypersensitivity to the LCZ696 active substances or to any of the excipients

      - Diabetes mellitus and receiving aliskiren-containing medicinal products

      - Receiving ACE inhibitors or has discontinued ACE inhibitor therapy within 36
      hours before receiving the first dose of LCZ696 in the study

      - Systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg¥

      - Serum potassium level > 5.5 mEq/L¥

         - To be considered as valid to determine the eligibility of a patient, exam
         results of exclusion criteria #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #10 (except LVEF)
         and #11 must be collected on or after date of patient's informed consent and
         must be available in the source documents for monitoring. LVEF evaluation is
         permitted within 6 weeks prior to IMP1 administration, even if performed
         outside the screening period as part of standard routine clinical practice
         of care, before ICF signature.

            - No platelet transfusion, packed red cell transfusion, or G-CSF will be
            allowed during the selection phase after ICF signature. Transfusion for
            the sole purpose of making a patient eligible for the study inclusion
            is not allowed.

               - Blood pressure and serum potassium level must be evaluated at
               screening and again at time of LCZ696 collection, within 7 days
               prior to [177Lu]-NeoB first administration (C1D1).
