177Lu-PSMA-617 and Pembrolizumab in Treating Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
United States43 participantsStarted 2019-05-10
Plain-language summary
This phase Ib trial studies the dose and schedule of 177Lu-PSMA-617 and pembrolizumab in treating persons with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. 177Lu-PSMA-617 carries a radioactive component which attached to the prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) receptor found on tumor cells. Its radiation component destroys the tumor cell. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving 177Lu-PSMA-617 and pembrolizumab may work better at treating prostate cancer.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* The subject is able and willing to comply with study procedures and provide signed and dated informed consent
* Histologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma. De novo small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer will not be allowed due to putative lower PSMA expression in this tumor subtype. Treatment-emergent small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer detected in metastatic tumor biopsy is not an exclusion
* A minimum of three PSMA-avid lesions on baseline 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET, with positive lesions defined as those with maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) values greater than liver.
* Progressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer by Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG)3 criteria at the time of study entry
* Castrate level of serum testosterone at study entry (\< 50 ng/dL). Participants without prior bilateral orchiectomy are required to remain on luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue treatment for duration of study
* Prior progression on at least one second generation androgen signaling inhibitor including abiraterone, apalutamide, darolutamide, and/or enzalutamide
* Absolute neutrophil count \> 1.5 x 10\^9/L
* Hemoglobin \> 9.0 g/dL
* Platelet count \> 100,000/microliter
* Serum creatinine =\< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \> 50 ml/min by Cockcroft-Gault or 24 hour urine collection
* Total bilirubin =\< 1.5 x ULN. In participants with known or suspected Gilbert's disease…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
