New radioactive drug targets Hard-to-Treat prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT05603559
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial is testing two new radioactive drugs, 177Lu-P17-087 and 177Lu-P17-088, in 30 people with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has stopped responding to other treatments. The study first checks how the drug spreads in the body and its safety, then tests higher doses to find the best amount. The goal is to see if this approach can safely deliver radiation directly to cancer cells.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 177Lu-P17-087 and 177Lu-P17-088 (radioactive drugs)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small trial (30 people) focused on safety and dosing. It is not yet designed to prove effectiveness, and the treatment may cause side effects like low blood counts or liver/kidney issues.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * All the patients had progressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that did not respond to androgen-suppression therapy and/or systemic chemotherapy; * Distant metastases with high PSMA expression were confirmed on 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT within one week before the injection of 177Lu-P17-087/177Lu-P17-088. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients were excluded if they had \[18F\]FDG positive tumors without corresponding PSMA uptake. Patients were also not eligible if they accepted other radionuclide therapies within 6 months or had clinically significant impaired bone marrow, liver, or kidney function with a hemoglobin level of less than 9.0 g/dL, a white blood cell count of less than 2.5×109/L, a platelet count of less than 100×109/L and a serum creatinine \> 100 μmol/L.
