What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

Researchers are testing a radioactive drug called terbium-161 PSMA-I&T in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, a form of the disease that has spread and no longer responds to hormone therapy. The drug attaches to a protein on prostate cancer cells and delivers radiation directly to tumors. The trial aims to find the highest dose that men can safely receive and to see how well the treatment lowers prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. About 66 men will take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a radioactive drug that targets prostate cancer cells, terbium-161 PSMA-I&T
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new targeted radiation option for men whose prostate cancer has spread and stopped responding to hormone therapy.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so researchers do not yet know if it helps or how well it is tolerated. Radiation treatments can damage healthy tissue and cause side effects.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient has provided written informed consent. 2. Male patients must be 18 years of age or older at the time of written informed consent. 3. Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate, OR unequivocal diagnosis of metastatic prostate cancer (i.e., involving bone or pelvic lymph nodes or para-aortic lymph nodes) with an elevated serum prostate specific antigen (PSA). 4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2. 5. Patients must have had prior treatment with at least one line of taxane chemotherapy, unless medically unsuitable. 6. Patients must have had prior treatment with at least one second-generation androgen receptor (AR)-targeted agent (e.g., enzalutamide, abiraterone, apalutamide or darolutamide). 7. Patients must have progressive disease defined according to The Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3 (PCWG3) as any one of the following: 1. PSA progression - minimum of 2 rising PSA values from a baseline measurement with an interval of ≥ 1 week between each measurement 2. Soft tissue progression as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) criteria 3. Bone progression: ≥ 2 new lesions on bone scan 8. Prior surgical orchiectomy or chemical castration maintained on luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue (agonist or antagonist). 9. Serum testosterone levels ≤ 1.75nmol/L (≤ 50ng/dL). 10. Significant prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) avidity on PSMA positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), defined as a minimum uptake of maximum standardised uptake value (SUVmax) 20 at a site of disease, and SUVmax \> 10 at sites of measurable soft tissue disease ≥ 15mm (unless subject to factors explaining a lower uptake, e.g. respiratory motion, reconstruction artefact). 11. Patients must have a life expectancy ≥ 6 months. 12. Patients must have adequate bone marrow, hepatic and renal function, defined as: 1. Haemoglobin ≥ 100g/L independent of transfusions (no red blood cell transfusion in last 4 weeks) 2. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 10\^9/L 3. Platelets ≥ 150 x 10\^9/L 4. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN) except for patients with known Gilbert's syndrome, where this applies for the unconjugated bilirubin component 5. Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 3x ULN if there is no evidence of liver metastasis or ≤ 5x ULN in the presence of liver metastases 6. Adequate renal function: patients must have a creatinine clearance estimated of ≥ 40mL/min using the Cockcroft Gault equation (Appendix 3) 13. Sexually active patients are willing to use medically acceptable forms of barrier contraception. 14. Willing and able to comply with all study requirements, including all treatments and the timing and nature of all required assessments. 15. At least 3 weeks since the completion of surgery or radiotherapy prior to registration. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior treatment with another radioisotope (i.e. PSMA radioligands, radium-223, strontium-89, samarium-153). 2. Site(s) of discordant disease on PET imaging (Fluorodeoxyglucose \[FDG\]-positive and minimal PSMA-uptake). 3. Other malignancies (in addition to the prostate cancer being treated on this study) within the previous 2-years prior to registration other than basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas of skin or other cancers that are unlikely to recur within 24 months. 4. Symptomatic brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases. 5. Patients with symptomatic or impending cord compression unless appropriately treated beforehand and clinically stable for more than 4 weeks. 6. Concurrent illness, including severe infection that may jeopardize the ability of the patient to undergo the procedures outlined in this protocol with reasonable safety.
