The primary objective of this study is to compare the two alternate primary endpoints of radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with progressive PSMA-positive mCRPC who receive 177Lu-PSMA-617 in addition to best supportive/best standard of care versus patients treated with best supportive/best standard of care alone.

| 177Lu-PSMA-617 | 177Lu-PSMA-617 plus BS/BSC |
Patients with PSMA positive scans will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either
177Lu-PSMA-617 plus best supportive/best standard of care or to receive best supportive/best
standard of care only. Best supportive/best standard of care will be determined by the
treating physician/investigator but will exclude investigational agents, cytotoxic
chemotherapy, other systemic radioisotopes, and hemi-body radiotherapy. Novel androgen axis
drugs [NAADs] (such as abiraterone or enzalutamide) are allowed.
The study is open-label and patients will be monitored throughout the 6 to 10-month treatment
period for survival, disease progression, and adverse events.
A long-term follow-up period will include the collection of rPFS survival and information
about new treatments, responses to new treatments, adverse events assessment, as well as
blood for hematology and chemistry testing. During follow-up, patients will be contacted
every 3 months (+/- 1 month) via phone, email, or letter for 24 months or until 508 deaths
have occurred.
An End of Treatment visit should occur once a patient discontinues the treatment part of the
study for any reason (patient or investigator decision, going on to long term follow up,
etc.). This visit should occur approximately 30 days from the last dose of 177Lu-PSMA-617 or
the date of the best supportive/best standard of care end of treatment decision (whichever
occurs later), but before the initiation of subsequent anti-cancer treatment, outside of what
is allowed on study.
The planned enrollment for this study is 814 patients.
A dosimetry, PK and ECG sub-study will be conducted in a non-randomized cohort
(177Lu-PSMA-617 plus best supportive/best standard of care) of approximately 30 patients at
sites in Germany to provide a more complete assessment of the safety aspects of
177Lu-PSMA-617. In order to not bias the results obtained from randomized patients in the
main study, the data of the sub-study patients will be analyzed descriptively and not
considered in the primary and secondary analysis of the main study.
| Name | Type | Description | Interventions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 177Lu-PSMA-617 plus BS/BSC | Experimental | Patients randomized to receive the investigational product will receive 7.4 GBq (+/- 10%) 177Lu-PSMA-617 intravenously every 6 weeks (+/- 1 week) for a maximum of 6 cycles. Best supportive/best standard of care (BS/BSOC) may be used |
|
| BS/BSC alone | Other | Patients randomized to this arm will receive best supportive/best standard of care (BS/BSOC) as determined by the investigator |
