Purpose

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of the experimental drug, 177Lu-J591 in combination with ketoconazole and hydrocortisone against prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

      This research is being done because the standard treatments for prostate cancer that has
      returned (PSA is elevated) after surgery and/or radiation and progressed on initial hormonal
      therapy are not curative. Existing treatments, such as the ketoconazole used as part of this
      study may decrease PSA temporarily, but unfortunately the cancer continues to grow. This
      experimental drug is designed to seek out all of the prostate cancer cells and to deliver a
      lethal dose of radiation to the areas of cancer, but not to normal areas. Some of the normal
      organs (liver, kidney and bone marrow) do receive some radiation dose that is within the
      acceptable limits.

      The experimental drug in this study includes an antibody (abbreviated: mAb) called "J591". It
      is a protein molecule which can bind to a specific site on a prostate cancer cell. A very
      energetic radioactive (an unstable atom) metal called 177Lutetium (abbreviated: 177Lu) is
      attached to the J591 antibody. The fully assembled drug is called "177Lu-J591". The study
      will assess the potential of the energy given off by the radioactive compound to kill cancer
      cell. This study may also involve the use of 111Indium (abbreviated 111In). This is also an
      energetic radioactive particle, but does not generally give off enough energy to kill cancer
      cells, but allows researchers to take pictures. This radioactive particle is also attached to
      the J591 antibody (called 111In-J591) and will serve as a placebo (treatment with no active
      medicine).
