Using 177Lu-PSMA to treat high-risk prostate cancer after radical treatment

177Lu-PSMA as a Systemic Adjuvant Treatment in Patients With High- and Very High-risk Prostate Cancer After Radical Treatment Using Locoregional Teleradiotherapy and Hormone Therapy

Phase 2 Interventional Maria Sklodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology · NCT06449781

This study is testing if a new treatment called 177Lu-PSMA can help men with high-risk prostate cancer stay cancer-free after their initial treatment and hormone therapy.

What this trial studies

This phase 2 clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of 177Lu-PSMA as a systemic adjuvant treatment for adult men with high and very high-risk prostate cancer following radical locoregional treatment and hormone therapy. Participants will receive a single administration of 177Lu-PSMA, while both the study and control groups will continue standard hormone therapy. The study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of this intervention over a five-year observation period, focusing on patients who show no signs of cancer dissemination after their initial treatment.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adult men over 18 years with histopathologically confirmed high or very high-risk prostate cancer who have completed radical locoregional treatment within the last three months.

Not a fit: Patients with signs of cancer dissemination or those who do not meet the specified health criteria will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve outcomes for patients with high-risk prostate cancer by reducing the risk of cancer recurrence.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with similar approaches using targeted radioligand therapy in prostate cancer, indicating potential for success.
