Using radioligand therapy before surgery for prostate cancer with limited metastases

Official title: Neoadjuvant [177Lu]Lu-PSMAI&T Radioligand Therapy (PSMA-RLT) for Patients With Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer Diagnosed Using [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET Imaging Followed by Radical Prostatectomy: A Prospective Phase II Pilot Study

Run by Medical University of Vienna · NCT06259123 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if a special type of radiation treatment before surgery can help men with prostate cancer that has spread a little, to see if it improves their health outcomes.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer diagnosed with limited metastases and who are eligible for radical prostatectomy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with nonmetastatic prostate cancer or those with extensive metastases beyond the study's criteria may not benefit from this treatment.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This phase II clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of systemic radioligand therapy using [177Lu]Lu-PSMAI&T in patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer who are scheduled for radical prostatectomy. The study aims to assess the response in terms of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, imaging results, and pathological outcomes. A total of ten patients diagnosed with oligometastatic prostate cancer via [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET imaging will be included to determine the therapy's impact on oncological outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve treatment outcomes for patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer by enhancing the effectiveness of surgery.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, similar studies using radioligand therapy in prostate cancer have shown promising results, indicating potential for success.
