Summary

This study is for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer controlled by hormone therapy. Researchers are testing a drug called 177Lu-PSMA-617, which delivers radiation directly to cancer cells. The goal is to find the highest dose that can be given safely by splitting it into smaller, more frequent doses. About 50 participants will be enrolled to see if this approach reduces side effects while still fighting the cancer.
