Can a radioactive 'Smart Bomb' outsmart advanced prostate cancer?

NCT ID NCT05204927

First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 3 trial is testing whether a new type of targeted radiation therapy, called 177Lu-PSMA-I&T, can slow the progression of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer better than standard hormone therapy. The study enrolls men with prostate cancer that has spread and no longer responds to hormone treatment. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the radioligand therapy or a hormone therapy (abiraterone with prednisone, or enzalutamide). The main goal is to see how long the cancer stays under control before it progresses.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
177Lu-PSMA-I&T, a radioligand therapy that delivers targeted radiation to prostate cancer cells
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new, more effective treatment option for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 3 trial, but results are not guaranteed. The treatment may not prove superior to hormone therapy, and radiation therapy carries risks like damage to healthy tissues.
