Targeted radiation zaps prostate cancer in new trial

NCT ID NCT04663997

Summary

This study is testing whether a new targeted radiation drug called 177Lu-PSMA-617 can slow the growth of advanced prostate cancer better than the standard chemotherapy drug, docetaxel. It is for men whose cancer has spread and is no longer responding to standard hormone-blocking treatments. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the new radiation therapy or the standard chemotherapy to directly compare their effectiveness.
