In plain English
This study, called ProstACT Global, is for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, which means prostate cancer that has spread and is growing despite hormone-lowering treatment. It tests whether adding an experimental radioactive drug called 177Lu-TLX591 to the standard care a patient is already having works better than standard care alone. The study is run by Telix Pharmaceuticals (Innovations) Pty Limited.
Who can take part
- Men aged 18 or over with a confirmed diagnosis of prostate cancer called adenocarcinoma
- Cancer that has spread to at least one place outside the prostate, shown on a scan
- Cancer that is growing despite hormone treatment that keeps testosterone very low
- Have had at least 12 weeks of treatment with a hormone-blocking prostate cancer drug (such as abiraterone, apalutamide, darolutamide or enzalutamide) and the cancer got worse while taking the most recent one
- Cancer that shows a protein called PSMA on a special PET scan — at least one area must take up enough of the scan dye compared to the liver
- Fairly well day-to-day (able to care for themselves, as checked by the study team) with at least 6 months life expectancy
- Healthy enough blood, liver and kidney function, as shown by blood tests
- Recovered from most side effects of earlier treatments (apart from hair loss)
- Willing to follow radiation safety rules, including protecting a partner who is or could be pregnant
Who may not be able to
- Prostate cancer that is mostly a different type (not adenocarcinoma), though a small amount of neuroendocrine-type cancer is allowed
- Treatment in the past with any PSMA-targeted therapy, including the antibodies J591 or HuJ591
- Chemotherapy for prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to hormones, or for cancer that has not spread (docetaxel is allowed earlier in the illness in certain cases)
- Some other cancers, apart from a few cases that were treated and cured at least 3 years ago, treated skin cancer, or controlled early bladder cancer
- Radioactive bone treatments or hemi-body radiotherapy in the past 6 months
- Cancer spread to the brain, liver or bone with certain large growths (1 cm or more in certain situations)
- A seizure or stroke in the past 6 months, or pressure on the spinal cord
- Certain serious heart, lung, nerve, kidney, liver or blood problems, or a serious infection
- Treatment with PARP inhibitor drugs (such as olaparib) or platinum chemotherapy drugs
- Certain anti-cancer treatment or radiotherapy within 4 weeks of joining, or taking part in another trial drug within 4 weeks
- Allergy to the study drug or its ingredients
What taking part involves
- • The study drug 177Lu-TLX591 is a radioactive medicine designed to find and kill PSMA-bearing cancer cells — how it is given is not stated in the data provided, so ask the trial team
- • Participants are compared: one group has 177Lu-TLX591 added to their standard of care, and the other group has standard of care alone
- • Screening involves scans including CT, MRI, bone scans and a PSMA PET scan to check the cancer is suitable
Time commitment: Not stated — ask the trial team (details such as how long the study lasts, how many visits, and how the drug is given are not in the data above).

About This Trial
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 177Lu-TLX591 in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have progressed following treatment with Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitor Treatment
More detail
The primary objective of the study is to compare radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) in participants who receive 177Lu-TLX591 with SOC to rPFS in participants who receive SOC only. This study consists of three Parts: * Part 1: Safety and Dosimetry Lead-in, * Part 2: Randomized Treatment Expansion, and * Part 3: Long-term Follow-up The study will commence with a 30-patient safety and dosimetry lead-in (Part 1) and proceed to a randomization treatment expansion in approximately 490 patients (Part 2). Patients in Part 2 will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either 177Lu-TLX591 + Standard of Care SoC (Group A), or SoC alone (Arm B). SoC in this trial is either: ARPI (enzalutamide or abiraterone) or docetaxel. All patients will be followed in long-term follow-up for at least 5 years from the first therapeutic dose, death, or loss to follow up (Part 3). Only patients that meet PSMA-positivity criteria per Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) will be eligible for this study.
