In plain English
This study is looking at a radioactive injection called (177Lu) rhPSMA-10.1 for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) — prostate cancer that has spread and no longer responds to hormone treatment. The injection targets a protein called PSMA found on prostate cancer cells. The study is run by Blue Earth Therapeutics Ltd.
Who can take part
- Men aged 18 or over with confirmed prostate cancer (adenocarcinoma)
- Cancer that has spread and no longer responds to hormone lowering treatment (testosterone below a set level)
- Cancer visible on scans (CT, MRI or bone scan) done within 28 days of screening
- Cancer that shows the PSMA protein on a special PET/CT scan
- A gap since previous cancer treatment (at least 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer)
- Recovered from side effects of earlier treatment (with some exceptions like hair loss)
- Major surgery at least 12 weeks before joining
- Able to carry out day-to-day activity (performance status 0-2) and life expectancy of at least 6 months
- Good enough blood counts and organ function on tests
- Use of reliable contraception for patients and partners
- Phase 1 only: already tried at least 1 hormone tablet (e.g. abiraterone or enzalutamide) and 1 or 2 courses of taxane chemotherapy
- Phase 2 only: already tried at least 1 hormone tablet, but no previous taxane chemotherapy for spread prostate cancer
Who may not be able to
- Allergic reaction to the study drug or its ingredients
- Cancer that does not show enough PSMA on scans, or widespread bone marrow involvement ('superscan')
- Spinal cord compression or signs it may be developing
- History of blood cancers or cancer spread to the brain
- A rare type of prostate cancer called neuroendocrine
- Another cancer that could affect life expectancy or test results
- Blocked urinary tract with swelling of the kidney
- Any serious uncontrolled health problem that could affect safety or the study
- Current bone-targeted treatment with bisphosphonates
- Severe urinary leakage that would make passing radioactive urine unsafe
- Having only one kidney, a kidney transplant, or treatment that could harm the kidneys
- Significant abnormalities on a heart tracing (ECG) at screening
- Previous radiotherapy covering more than 30% of the bone marrow or kidneys
- Previous PSMA radiotherapy or similar bone-targeting radioactive treatments (e.g. radium-223, strontium-89)
- Both hips replaced or metal implants that could affect scan quality
- Blood transfusions given just to qualify for the study
- Taking part in another drug study in the last 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer)
- Serious lung disease such as interstitial lung disease or bullous emphysema
- Previous radiotherapy to the chest
- Abnormal PSMA uptake in the lungs on the PET scan
What taking part involves
- • An injection of the radioactive drug (177Lu) rhPSMA-10.1, which is designed to attach to PSMA on prostate cancer cells
- • Scans (PSMA PET/CT) to check the cancer before treatment
- • Further details of doses and schedule: Not stated — ask the trial team

About This Trial
To determine the dose, safety, radiation dosimetry and efficacy of 177Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 in participants with PSMA-expressing metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer.
More detail
This is an interventional, open-label, integrated Phase 1 \& 2 study to assess the safety, tolerability, radiation dosing regimen and anti-tumour activity of Lutetium (177Lu) rhPSMA-10.1 (IMP) in men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The study will consist of 2 parts: a non-randomised Phase 1 part, with safety, dose-finding, and dosimetry components, and a randomised Phase 2 part, with efficacy and safety assessments, and testing dosing regimens selected following analysis of the safety and dosimetry data in Phase 1. Both phases will include subjects with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive mCRPC, which has progressed following prior therapy. Phase 1 will include a post-chemotherapy mCRPC cohort of subjects who have experienced disease progression on or after at least 1 novel androgen axis drug (NAAD) (e.g. abiraterone, enzalutamide) and at least 1 course (but no more than 2 courses) of taxane-based chemotherapy. Phase 2 will include subjects who have experienced disease progression on or after at least 1 NAAD (e.g. abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide, darolutamide) but have not received previous taxane-based chemotherapy for the treatment of mCRPC.
