NCT ID NCT03042468

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a radioactive drug called 177Lu-PSMA-617 in men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. The drug seeks out and delivers radiation directly to cancer cells. The trial aims to find the safest effective dose and see if it can lower PSA levels. About 50 men are participating in this early-phase study.

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 (a radioactive drug that targets prostate cancer cells)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new, targeted treatment option for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug is radioactive and may cause side effects like dry mouth, fatigue, or low blood counts.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of prostate 2. Documented progressive metastatic CRPC based on Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) criteria, which includes at least one of the following criteria: * PSA progression * Objective radiographic progression in soft tissue * New bone lesions 3. ECOG performance status of 0-2 4. Have serum testosterone \< 50 ng/dL. Subjects must continue primary androgen deprivation with an LHRH/GnRH analogue (agonist/antagonist) if they have not undergone orchiectomy. 5. Have previously been treated with at least one of the following: * Androgen receptor signaling inhibitor (such as enzalutamide) * CYP 17 inhibitor (such as abiraterone acetate) 6. Have previously received taxane chemotherapy, been determined to be ineligible for taxane chemotherapy by their physician, or refused taxane chemotherapy. 7. Age \> 18 years 8. Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below: * Absolute neutrophil count \>2,000 cells/mm3 * Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL (independent of transfusion and/or growth factors within 1 month prior to registration) * Platelet count \>150,000 x 109/uL (independent of transfusion and/or growth factors within 3 months prior to randomization) * Serum creatinine \<1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 by Cockcroft-Gault * Serum total bilirubin \<1.5 x ULN (unless due to Gilbert's syndrome in which case direct bilirubin must be normal * Serum AST and ALT \<1.5 x ULN 9. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Use of investigational drugs or implantation of investigational medical device ≤4 weeks of Cycle 1, Day 1 or current enrollment in investigational drug or device study 2. Prior systemic beta-emitting bone-seeking radioisotopes 3. Brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease 4. History of deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolus within 1 month of study entry 5. Other serious illness(es) involving the cardiac, respiratory, CNS, renal, hepatic or hematological organ systems which might preclude completion of this study or interfere with determination of causality of any adverse effects experienced in this study 6. Radiation therapy for treatment of PCa ≤4 weeks of Day 1 Cycle 1 7. Patients on stable dose of bisphosphonates or denosumab, which have been started no less than 4 weeks prior to treatment start, may continue on this medication, however patients are not allowed to initiate bisphosphonate/Denosumab therapy during the DLT-assessment period of the study. 8. Having partners of childbearing potential and not willing to use a method of birth control deemed acceptable by the principle investigator and chairperson during the study and for 1 month after last study drug administration 9. Currently active other malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer. Patients are considered not to have "currently active" malignancy if they have completed any necessary therapy and are considered by their physician to be at less than 30% risk of relapse. 10. Known history of known myelodysplastic syndrome
