AKY-2519 (B7‑H3 targeted radioligand) for metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer
Official title: BActinium-1: A Phase 1b, Multicenter, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Intravenous Administration of B7-H3 Radiopharmaceutical ([225Ac]Ac-AKY-2519) in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
Run by Aktis Oncology, Inc. · NCT07581184 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests whether AKY‑2519, a B7‑H3–targeted radioactive medicine used for imaging and treatment, is safe and can shrink tumors in men with metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer, including those who have had prior 177Lu‑PSMA‑617.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with histologically confirmed metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer, castrate testosterone levels, ECOG 0–1, adequate organ function, and, for Cohort B, at least two prior doses of 177Lu‑PSMA‑617.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who previously received a B7‑H3 targeted therapy, have had more than the allowed number of prior ARPIs or taxane regimens, prior targeted radiotherapy (with limited exceptions), or poor performance status are unlikely to qualify or benefit from this trial.

What this trial studies
This Phase 1b, open‑label, multicenter study gives participants a diagnostic imaging dose ([64Cu]Cu‑AKY‑2519) and/or escalating therapeutic doses of an alpha emitter ([225Ac]Ac‑AKY‑2519) to measure safety, tolerability, dosimetry, and pharmacokinetics and to look for early signs of anti‑tumor activity. The trial enrolls two parallel cohorts: Cohort A without prior 177Lu‑PSMA‑617 exposure and Cohort B with prior 177Lu‑PSMA‑617 exposure, with a dose‑escalation stage followed by a backfill stage at selected dose levels. Investigators will collect imaging, laboratory, and clinical response data and use those results to recommend phase 2 dose(s) for each cohort. The primary focus is safety and dose finding; efficacy is evaluated as a secondary, preliminary outcome.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, AKY‑2519 could offer a new targeted radioactive therapy option that delivers potent alpha radiation to B7‑H3–expressing prostate tumors, potentially shrinking disease including in some patients who progressed after PSMA‑targeted therapy.
How similar studies have gone: Radioligand therapies such as 177Lu‑PSMA‑617 and some early alpha‑emitter programs have shown activity in mCRPC, but B7‑H3–directed radioligand therapy is a newer approach with limited clinical data to date.
