New radioactive drug takes aim at Hard-to-Treat prostate cancer

NCT ID NCT05570994

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new radioactive drug, 177Lu-HTK03170, designed to seek out and destroy prostate cancer cells that have spread. It is for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer whose disease has worsened after other treatments. The trial will first find a safe dose, then measure how well it shrinks tumors and controls the cancer.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

177Lu-HTK03170 (a radioactive drug that targets prostate cancer cells)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new, personalized radiation treatment option for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial with only 50 participants, so the treatment may not prove effective or safe in larger groups. Potential side effects from radiation exposure are unknown at this stage.
