Radioactive therapy targets Hard-to-Treat cancers in new trial

NCT ID NCT05867615

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing a radioactive drug called 177Lu-PSMA in 83 people with advanced or metastatic cancers that show up on a PSMA PET scan. The drug is given intravenously every 8 weeks for up to 4 cycles. The main goals are to check safety and see if the treatment can control the disease. It is for patients who have no other effective options.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Lutetium-177 PSMA (a radioactive drug that targets cancer cells)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced cancers that show PSMA on scans, potentially controlling tumor growth.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 2 trial with only 83 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The radioactive drug can cause side effects like fatigue, low blood counts, or kidney issues.
