Treatment for recurrent prostate cancer using PSMA radioligand therapy
Official title: [177Lu]Lu-PSMAI&T Radioligand Therapy (PSMA-RLT) for Patients With Prostate Cancer and Biochemical But Not Radio-morphological Local Recurrence After Primary Therapy With Curative Intent: A Prospective Phase II Pilot Study
Run by Medical University of Vienna · NCT06220188 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new treatment for men with recurrent prostate cancer to see if a special therapy can help slow down the disease after their PSA levels have risen.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are men with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after prior radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy, with specific PSA criteria and no local recurrence.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe concurrent medical conditions or those participating in other interventional trials may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This phase II clinical trial investigates the efficacy of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA I&T in patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer who have a PSA level of 0.2 ng/ml or higher after radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy. Participants will receive two cycles of PSMA radioligand therapy at specified intervals, aiming to assess the treatment's impact on disease progression. The study focuses on patients without local recurrence but allows for distant metastases, ensuring a targeted approach to managing recurrent prostate cancer.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with recurrent prostate cancer, potentially improving their outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies using PSMA-targeted therapies have shown promising results, indicating potential for success in this approach.
