Higher dose of targeted radiation for prostate cancer with low PSMA levels
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a higher dose of a radioactive drug (177Lu-PSMA-617) for men whose prostate cancer has spread and does not produce much of a protein called PSMA on scans. The goal is to see if a stronger dose can work better than the standard dose.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer controlled by hormone therapy.
- You had a PSMA PET scan showing at least one spot of cancer that takes up the tracer, but the overall amount of PSMA in your body is low.
- You have taken a hormone-blocking drug like enzalutamide or abiraterone.
- Your cancer is getting worse despite treatment.
- You are healthy enough to handle the treatment, with good blood counts and organ function.

This trial is testing if a higher first dose of Lu-177-PSMA-617, a targeted radiation therapy, can improve outcomes for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that shows up on a PSMA PET scan. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective.
This trial tests a combination of two treatments for men with prostate cancer that has spread to a small number of sites: a radioactive injection (177Lu-PSMA-617) that targets cancer cells, plus hormone-blocking medication. The goal is to control the cancer and delay progression.
This trial tests two different dosing schedules of a drug called Lutetium-177 PSMA RLT, which delivers radiation directly to prostate cancer cells. It is for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and has spread, who have not yet had chemotherapy for this stage of the disease.
This trial tests two drugs: vorinostat (a pill that may make cancer cells easier to target) and 177Lu-PSMA-617 (a radioactive drug that seeks out prostate cancer cells). It is for men with a specific type of advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and shows low levels of PSMA on a PET scan.
This trial tests a combination of two treatments for advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. One treatment is a targeted radiation therapy (177Lu-PSMA-617) and the other is an immunotherapy (sipuleucel-T) that helps your immune system fight the cancer.
This trial tests if a second round of a targeted radiation therapy (177Lu-PSMA-617) can help men whose prostate cancer has returned after a successful first treatment. It is for men whose cancer has stopped responding to hormone therapy and chemotherapy, and whose PSA levels have risen again after a prior good response to this drug.
