Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment to see if it is safe and effective. The treatment combines two existing treatments: a drug that targets cancer cells and radiation therapy. The researchers think this new combination may be better at preventing or delaying cancer growth than either treatment alone.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men with prostate cancer who've had primary treatment at least 2 years ago, have a specific type of tumor detectable by PSMA scan, and haven't received recent prostate-cancer therapy. They must be healthy enough for radiation therapy, not have castration-resistant cancer or certain other health conditions, and agree to use contraception.
What is being tested?
The study tests if combining a targeted radioactive drug called 177Lu-PSMA-617 with Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) is safe and effective in treating prostate cancer that has spread but is limited in number and location.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to radiation exposure such as skin changes or fatigue, kidney function changes due to the radioactive drug, blood count alterations leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, and gastrointestinal issues.
