Exploring Auger-Enhanced PSMA-Targeted Radioligand Therapy: A First-in-Taiwan Clinical Study of 161Tb-PSMA-I&T in Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
This study is a phase I dose escalation clinical trial aims to evaluate 161Tb-PSMA-I\&T, a new generation prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy (RLT) using Terbium-161 to replace Lutetium-177, its safety, dosimetry, biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy in Taiwanese men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, and to inform future clinical trials.
• Age ≥ 20 years, ability to understand and willingness to sign informed consent, cooperate with all study-related procedures and assessments including blood tests and imaging
• Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate with evidence of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)
• Prior surgical orchiectomy or chemical castration maintained on luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analog, with a serum testosterone level \<50 ng/dL (castrate range)
• Prior treated with at least one line of taxane-based chemotherapy unless medically unsuitable, and at least one line of androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (e.g., abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide, or darolutamide)
• Prior treated with 177Lu-labeled PSMA RLT unless medically unsuitable or declined by the patient
• Progressive disease defined according to Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3: Either a PSA progression of more than 2 rising PSA values from baseline with intervals ≥ 1 week, or a soft-tissue progression on images per RECIST 1.1 criteria, or a bone progression on images with more than 2 new lesions
• Evidence of significant PSMA-avid lesions on 68Ga- or 18F-labeled PSMA PET/CT within 12 weeks prior to screening, which defined as 68Ga-PSMA or 18F-PSMA uptake greater than that of liver or spleen parenchyma (depend on the tracer used) in at least one metastatic lesion of any size in any organ system
• A life expectancy of ≥ 6 months and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2
• Adequate bone marrow and organ functions 9.1 Hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL without RBC transfusion within 4 weeks 9.2 Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109/L 9.3 Platelet count ≥ 150 × 109/L 9.4 Creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault) 9.5 AST and ALT ≤ 3 × ULN, total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN
