Mapping radiation dose in real time: a smarter way to treat prostate cancer?

NCT ID NCT07096999

First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study investigates whether SPECT/CT scans can accurately measure the radiation dose delivered to tumors and healthy organs during 177Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto) therapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Researchers will enroll 60 men scheduled for this treatment and compare imaging-based dose estimates with actual treatment response and side effects. The goal is to develop models that could one day help personalize dosing for better outcomes and fewer side effects.

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-617 (Pluvicto) radioligand therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors personalize the dose of 177Lu-PSMA-617 therapy to maximize tumor damage while minimizing harm to healthy organs.
What could go wrong
This is an observational imaging study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test whether adjusting doses improves outcomes, and results may not apply to all patients.
