PSMA PET-guided radiation for slowing prostate cancer growth
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial uses a special scan called PSMA PET to find and treat a small number of cancer spots that are growing while you are on standard treatment. The goal is to give precise radiation to those spots to help keep the rest of the cancer under control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You have prostate cancer that has spread and is either still responding to hormone therapy or has stopped responding.
- You are currently on active cancer treatment (like hormone therapy or chemotherapy).
- You have up to 5 new or growing spots on a PSMA PET scan, while other areas are stable.
- You are willing to have radiation therapy to those growing spots, and your doctor agrees it's part of your routine care.

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 Phase 1/2 trial tests a personalized form of PSMA-targeted radiation therapy for adults with advanced cancers that strongly show PSMA on a PET scan. It may help shrink or control tumors by delivering radiation directly to PSMA-expressing cancer cells.
This trial uses a special PET/MR scan to help doctors aim stereotactic radiation more precisely for certain higher-risk or unfavorable intermediate prostate cancers. It studies whether this targeted approach can safely treat the prostate (and specific areas needing extra treatment) without spreading to the body.
This trial tests whether giving precise radiation to a few spots of cancer growth can help control prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. It is for people with up to 3 growing or new spots of cancer on a special scan.
This trial tests a new way to plan radiation for high-risk prostate cancer. Doctors will use a special PET scan (PSMA PET) to find the main tumor inside the prostate and give it a stronger dose of radiation, along with standard hormone therapy. This approach might improve outcomes for patients with aggressive disease.
This trial uses a special PET scan (POSLUMA) before and after radiation to see if it helps treat prostate cancer that has spread to a few spots outside the pelvis. It's for men whose cancer still responds to hormone therapy and who have not had widespread spread.
