Targeted radiation shows promise for Tough-to-Treat prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT05219500
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests a drug called FPI-2265, which delivers targeted radiation directly to prostate cancer cells. It is for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, a form that has spread and no longer responds to hormone therapy. The study will measure how well the drug lowers PSA levels and monitor side effects in 115 participants.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- FPI-2265 (a targeted radiation therapy that seeks out prostate cancer cells)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard hormone therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage trial with only 115 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment involves radioactive material, which can cause side effects like dry mouth or 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: 1. Participants aged ≥ 18 years. 2. Participants must have the ability to understand and sign an approved informed consent (ICF). 3. Participants must have the ability to understand and comply with all protocol requirements. 4. Adenocarcinoma of prostate proven by histopathology. 5. Life expectancy of 6 months or more. 6. Unresectable metastases. 7. Documented progressive disease (PD); progressive mCRPC will be based on at least 1 of the following criteria: 1. Serum PSA progression is defined as 2 consecutive increases in PSA over a previous reference value measured at least 1 week prior. The minimal starting value is 1.0 ng/mL, if PSA is the only indication of progression. 2. Soft-tissue progression defined as an increase ≥ 20% in the sum of the diameter (SOD) (short axis for nodal lesions and long axis for non-nodal lesions) of all target lesions based on the smallest SOD since treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. 3. Progression of bone disease: evaluable disease or new bone lesions(s) by bone scan (2+2 PCWG3 criteria). 8. If known Breast Cancer gene (BRCA) mutations are present, participants should have received FDA approved therapies such as poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors and progressed. 9. Castration resistant disease with confirmed testosterone level ≤ 50 ng/dL under prior androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Must have a castrate level of serum testosterone (\< 50 ng/dL or \< 1.7 nmol/L). 10. Positive PSMA PET/CT scans, obtained with approved PSMA-ligands, defined as at least one PSMA-positive metastatic lesion and no PSMA-negative lesions. 11. ECOG-PS 0 to 1. 12. Hemoglobin (Hgb) concentration ≥ 9.0 g/dL. 13. Platelet counts ≥ 100 × 10\^9/L. 14. White blood cell (WBC) count ≥ 2.0 × 10\^9/L, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 1.5 × 10\^9/L. a. Hematological criteria cannot be met with ongoing or recent blood transfusions (within 7 days prior to the scheduled first dose of study treatment) or require growth factor support (within 21 days prior to the scheduled first dose of study treatment). 15. Alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase ≤ 3.0 × upper limit of normal (ULN). 16. Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN; in participants with Gilbert's syndrome, a total bilirubin ≤ 3 times ULN and direct bilirubin within normal limits are permitted. 17. Albumin ≥ 2.5 g/dL. 18. Serum/plasma creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN or creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min based on the Cockcroft-Gault formula. 19. Prothrombin time, international normalized ratio or prothrombin time test \< 1.5 × ULN. 20. Received ≥ 1 androgen receptor axis-targeted therapies (ARAT). 21. Participants on anti-androgen therapy are allowed to continue their treatment at the discretion of their treating physician. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Less than 6 weeks from enrollment since last myelosuppressive therapy (including Docetaxel, Cabazitaxel, 223Ra, 153Sm, 177Lu-PSMA-617/other Lu-PSMA RLT or any other radionuclide therapy). Participants who received previous treatment with Ac-225 are excluded. 2. Participants who received more than 4 prior lines of systemic therapy for CRPC. 3. Urinary tract obstruction as evidenced by Tc-99m DTPA renal scan with diuretics. 4. Participants with skeletal metastases presenting as a superscan on a 99m Tc MDP Bone Scan. Superscan is defined as a bone scan which demonstrates markedly increased skeletal radioisotope uptake relative to soft tissues in association with absent or faint renal activity (absent kidney sign). 5. Persistent baseline dry eye or dry mouth \> Grade 1 from prior RLT. 6. Persistent prior AEs \> Grade 1 from prior anti-cancer therapies. 7. Abnormal renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate \< 60 mL/min), baseline Hgb \< 9g/dL, ANC \< 1.5 ×10\^9/L, platelets \< 100 ×10\^9/L, and prothrombin time, international normalized ratio or prothrombin time test ≥ 1.5 × ULN. 8. Administration of an investigational agent ≤ 60 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to Cycle 1, Week 0. 9. Known presence of central nervous system (CNS) metastases or liver metastases. 10. Active malignancy other than low-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer and non-melanoma skin cancer. 11. Concurrent illness that may jeopardize the participant's ability to undergo study procedures as determined by the Investigator. 12. Symptomatic cord compression, or clinical or radiologic findings indicative of impending cord compression. 13. Concurrent serious (as determined by the investigator) medical conditions, including, but not limited to, New York Heart Association Class III or IV congestive heart failure, unstable ischemia, uncontrolled symptomatic arrhythmia, history of congenital prolonged QT syndrome, uncontrolled infection, known active hepatitis B or C, or other significant co-morbid conditions that in the opinion of the Investigator would impair study participation or cooperation. 14. Major surgery ≤ 30 days prior to enrollment. 15. Planning to conceive pregnancy during the treatment and up to 6 months after the last treatment.
