Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy and 177Lu-PSMA-617 for the Treatment of Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer, STARLiT Trial

Trial Status: active

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of 177Lu-PSMA-617 when given together with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and to see how well it works in treating patients with prostate cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Radioactive drugs, such as 177Lu-PSMA-617, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and not harm normal cells. SBRT is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position a patient and precisely deliver radiation to tumors in the body (except the brain). The total dose of radiation is divided into smaller doses given over several days. This type of radiation therapy helps spare normal tissue. Giving 177Lu-PSMA-617 with SBRT may work better in treating patients with locally advanced prostate cancer.
