Study Summary

This trial studies the safety and effectiveness of a radioactive drug combined with radiation therapy to treat prostate cancer that has returned after surgery.

Who is the study for?
Men over 18 with prostate cancer that has returned after surgery, who have detectable PSA levels and only show signs of cancer in the pelvic area on PSMA PET/CT scans. They should be relatively fit (ECOG status 0-2) and not have had prior radiotherapy or conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, severe kidney issues, high-risk urinary retention, significant liver damage, low blood counts, or serious acute illnesses.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This phase I trial is testing a new radioactive drug called lutetium Lu 177 PSMA-10.1 after external beam radiation therapy guided by PSMA PET scans. The goal is to find the safest dose that can effectively target tumor cells without harming normal ones in patients whose prostate cancer has come back post-surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include myelosuppression (reduced bone marrow activity), renal insufficiency (poor kidney function), xerostomia (dry mouth), gastrointestinal toxicity, as well as typical risks associated with radiation such as fatigue and skin reactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

To what degree are patients safeguarded when using EBRT and 177Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 together?

"We at Power rate Treatment (EBRT, 177Lu-rhPSMA-10.1) with a score of 1 because this is an early phase trial; there are only sparse data points to support its safety and efficacy."

Answered by AI

Is the enrollment process for this clinical trial still open?

"The clinical trial in question is not currently on the search for participants, as evidenced by its entry on clinicaltrials.gov which was last edited October 25th 2023. Fortunately, there are two thousand other active medical trials available right now."
