Detailed Description
This prospective, single-centre, single-arm phase I/II trial will assess the safety, efficacy and anti-tumour activity of [161Tb]Tb-PSMA-I&T in patients with mCRPC.
This study aims to assess and establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of [161Tb]Tb-PSMA-I&T in patients with mCRPC.
66 men with mCRPC who have progressed with at least one line of taxane chemotherapy and at least one second-generation androgen receptor (AR)-targeted agent will be enrolled in this trial in two stages: dose escalation and a dose expansion phase.

Intervention / Treatment |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: Experimental: Treatment Arm
Experimental: Cohort A: 30 patients will patients will receive [161Tb]Tb PSMA I&T on Day 1 of every 6 week Cycle. The administered activity for cycle 1 of will vary in dose-escalation ranging from 4.4 GBq to 7.4 GBq, using a 3+3 design. Cohort B: 12 patients will receive [161Tb]Tb PSMA I&T on Day 1 of every 6 week Cycle. The administered activity for cycle 1 will be 9.5 GBq. Cohort C: 24 patients will receive a modified schedule of treatment. [161Tb]Tb -PSMA-I&T will be administered at Weeks 0, 2, 6, 12, 20, and 30 (Week 0 = Cycle 1 Day 1). In Cycle 1, administration occurs on Days 1 and 15. In Cycles 2-5, dosing occurs once on Day 1 of each cycle, with cycle durations of 6, 6, 8, 10, and 6 weeks. The administered activity for cycle 1 will be 9.5 GBq. |
[161Tb]Tb PSMA I&T commencing as specified for cycle 1, with administered activity reduced by 0.4 GBq for each cycle (2 to 6). The first 3 patients of each dose level or modified schedule of treatment will be subject to safety review prior to dose expansion phase. |

|
Dose Limiting toxicities (DLTs)
Time Frame: Dose escalation phase is expected to be completed 6 months from the time the first patient is recruited.
