Tb-PSMA radionuclide treatment before radical prostatectomy for locally advanced prostate cancer
Official title: Tb-PSMA-I&T Radionuclide Neo-Adjuvant Treatment in Patients With Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer Before Radical Prostatectomy: TbeforePROST Trial.
Run by Rabin Medical Center · NCT07208240 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This will try giving a Tb-PSMA radionuclide treatment to men with high-risk, locally advanced prostate cancer before prostate removal to see if it is safe and reduces tumor burden.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are men aged 18 or older with high-risk localized prostate cancer (cT3/4 and/or Gleason score ≥8 and/or PSA ≥20 ng/mL), confirmed high PSMA expression, ECOG 0–1, life expectancy >10 years, and acceptable blood counts and kidney function.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with distant metastatic disease, low PSMA expression, poor blood counts, low albumin, reduced kidney function, or current use of nephrotoxic drugs are excluded and unlikely to benefit from this approach.

What this trial studies
This Phase 1/2, multidisciplinary trial gives Tb-PSMA-I&T radionuclide therapy to men with high-risk, locally advanced prostate cancer prior to planned radical prostatectomy. Participants must have high PSMA expression on imaging and meet predefined blood, kidney, and performance-status criteria, while patients with distant metastases or significant organ dysfunction are excluded. The trial aims to characterize safety, tolerability, and feasibility of preoperative Tb-PSMA and to look for early signals of tumor response at surgery and on imaging. Tb-PSMA has shown promising initial results in metastatic disease but has not been tested as a neoadjuvant approach before prostate removal.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could reduce tumor burden before surgery and lower the risk of residual disease or recurrence.
How similar studies have gone: Tb-PSMA radionuclide treatments have shown promising early results in metastatic prostate cancer, but using Tb-PSMA before prostate removal for locally advanced disease is novel and untested.

Radiation therapy options for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests different ways of giving radiation therapy to see which balance best controls the cancer with the fewest side effects in men with high-risk, non-metastatic prostate cancer.
-
Repeated PSMA PET scans to monitor treatment response in clinically significant prostate cancer.
This project will test whether doing a PSMA PET/CT before treatment and again after treatment (or at early PSA rise) helps track response in people with newly diagnosed clinically significant (Gleason ≥7) prostate cancer.

Androgen-guided PSMA-PET-boost for prostate cancer treated with ADT and SBRT
This study tests whether using PSMA-PET imaging during hormone therapy can help doctors target remaining cancer with a focused SBRT boost in men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer.

Delayed pelvic [68Ga]-PSMA PET/CT using the first CT for men with high-risk prostate cancer
This test tries to see if doing a delayed pelvic [68Ga]-PSMA PET that reuses the initial CT (so no second CT) keeps image quality while lowering radiation for men with high‑risk or recurrent prostate cancer.

Adaptive stereotactic body radiotherapy with pelvic treatment and focal dose boost for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial will try an adaptive form of focused high-dose radiation to the prostate and pelvic lymph nodes, with an extra dose to the main tumor area, for men with high-risk prostate cancer to see if it improves outcomes and cost-effectiveness compared with standard radiotherapy.

Comparing Lutetium-177 and Actinium-225 PSMA-targeted radiation before prostatectomy
This will test whether giving one of two PSMA-targeted radiation drugs (Lutetium-177 or Actinium-225) before prostate removal works differently in men with high or very high-risk localized prostate cancer.
