Testing a new drug for prostate cancer treatment

SatisfACtion: Phase I/II, Open-label, Multi-center Study of [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-R2 in Men With mHSPC and Heavily Pre-treated PSMA-positive mCRPC, With/Without Prior 177Lu-labelled PSMA-targeted Radioligand Therapy

What this trial studies

This open-label, phase I/II study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of the drug [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-R2 in adult patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Participants will be grouped based on their prior treatment history and will undergo dose escalation to determine the maximum tolerated dose. The study aims to assess the drug's effectiveness in patients who have shown progression despite previous treatments and have a positive PSMA PET scan.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults with PSMA-positive metastatic hormone-sensitive or castration-resistant prostate cancer who have received prior anti-cancer treatment.

Not a fit: Patients with uncontrolled pain, recent history of significant cardiac events, or those currently receiving other investigational agents may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced prostate cancer who have limited treatment choices.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is novel in its specific application, similar studies using targeted radioligand therapies have shown promising results in treating prostate cancer.

Eligibility criteria

Key Exclusion Criteria:

* Any other investigational agents within 28 days of the anticipated C1D1 of 225Ac-PSMA-R2 therapy
* Any systemic anti-cancer therapy within 28 days of the anticipated C1D1 of 225Ac-PSMA-R2 therapy
* Uncontrolled pain or incompatibility that may result in participant's lack of ability to comply with imaging procedures
* History of CNS metastases and symptomatic cord compression, or clinical or radiologic findings indicative of impending cord compression
* History of myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, or coronary artery bypass graft within 6 months prior to ICF signature and/or clinically active significant cardiac disease
* Diagnosis of other malignancies in the past three years expected to alter life expectancy or may interfere with disease assessment

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
