New radioactive therapy targets Hard-to-Treat prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT07441837
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests a radioactive drug called terbium-161 PSMA in 60 men with metastatic prostate cancer that has worsened after standard treatments. The drug is designed to seek out and destroy cancer cells. Participants will receive three cycles of the drug, and researchers will monitor tumor response, side effects, and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Terbium-161 PSMA I&T (a radioactive drug that targets prostate cancer cells)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 60 participants. The drug may not shrink tumors or improve survival, and it can cause side effects like bone marrow suppression or organ damage.
