New radioactive drug targets Hard-to-Treat prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT05603559
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial is testing two new radioactive drugs, 177Lu-P17-087 and 177Lu-P17-088, in 30 people with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has stopped responding to other treatments. The study first checks how the drug spreads in the body and its safety, then tests higher doses to find the best amount. The goal is to see if this approach can safely deliver radiation directly to cancer cells.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 177Lu-P17-087 and 177Lu-P17-088 (radioactive drugs)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small trial (30 people) focused on safety and dosing. It is not yet designed to prove effectiveness, and the treatment may cause side effects like low blood counts or liver/kidney issues.
