Alpha-Emitting Radionuclide or Beta-Emitting Radionuclide With Metastasis-Directed Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Recurrent, Oligometastatic Prostate Adenocarcinoma (ANDROMEDA)

December 15, 2025 updated by: Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center

Alpha-Emitting Radionuclide or Beta-Emitting Radionuclide Combined With Metastasis-Directed Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Oligorecurrent Prostate Adenocarcinoma (ANDROMEDA)

This phase II trial compares the use of 225Ac-PSMA-617 to 177Lu-PSMA-617, along with stereotactic body radiotherapy for the treatment of prostate cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) and that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to multiple other places in the body (oligometastatic). 225Ac-PSMA-617 and 177Lu-PSMA-617 are radioactive drugs. They bind to a protein called a PSMA receptor, which is found on some prostate tumor cells. 225Ac-PSMA-617 or 177Lu-PSMA-617 builds up in these cells and gives off either alpha or beta radiation that may kill them. It is a type of radioconjugate and a type of PSMA analog. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position a patient and precisely deliver radiation to tumors in the body (except the brain). The total dose of radiation is divided into smaller doses given over several days. This type of radiation therapy helps spare normal tissue. Giving 225Ac-PSMA-617 or 177Lu-PSMA-617 and metastasis directed stereotactic body radiotherapy may be effective in treating patients with recurrent, oligometastatic prostate cancer.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To assess progression-free survival for men with oligorecurrent prostate cancer after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in combination with 2 cycles of Lutetium Lu 177 Vipivotide Tetraxetan (177Lu-PSMA-617) versus SBRT in combination with 1 cycle of Actinium Ac 225 Vipivotide Tetraxetan (225Ac-PSMA-617), with progression defined on the basis of prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scans obtained at 24 months post-SBRT or at the time of prostate specific antigen (PSA)-based biochemical progression, initiation of salvage therapy or death.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate burden of disease (including local control of irradiated lesions and presence of other disease) on a PSMA PET/CT obtained 24 months after SBRT + 177Lu-PSMA-617 versus SBRT + 225Ac-PSMA-617 in patients with oligometastatic disease who have not progressed by that point.

II. To assess physician-scored toxicity (common terminology criteria for adverse events [CTCAE] version 5.0) of SBRT + 177Lu-PSMA-617 versus SBRT + 225Ac-PSMA-617 in patients with oligometastatic disease.

III. To assess patient-reported quality of life (based on the Xerostomia Inventory scale) after SBRT + 177Lu-PSMA-617 versus SBRT + 225Ac-PSMA-617 in patients with oligometastatic disease.

IV. To assess androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)-free survival after 177Lu-PSMA-617 versus SBRT + 225Ac-PSMA-617 in patients with oligometastatic disease.

V. To determine local control of irradiated lesions at 24 months after last radionuclide infusion in patients with oligometastatic disease (based on a scheduled PSMA-PET), comparing 177Lu-PSMA-617 versus SBRT + 225Ac-PSMA-617.

VI. To assess time to locoregional progression, time to distant progression, time to new metastasis, and duration of response after last radionuclide infusion in patients with oligometastatic disease (as defined by PSMA PET/CT).

CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES:

I. To quantitatively sequence T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoires using peripheral blood monocytes at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after last infusion of radionuclide.

II. To perform radiomics analysis on PSMA PET/CT scans performed at 24 months after last infusion of radionuclide, or at time of progression.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients receive 177Lu-PSMA-617 intravenously (IV) over 1-10 minutes on day one of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 6 weeks for 2 cycles. 4-6 weeks after completion of 177Lu-PSMA-617 patients receive Gallium Ga 68 Gozetotide (68Ga-PSMA-11) IV and undergo PSMA PET/CT scan. Within 4 weeks of the scan, patients receive SBRT for 1-5 treatments over 1- 1- days. Treatment is given in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo PSMA PET/CT scan and blood sample collection throughout the study.

ARM II: Patients receive 225Ac-PSMA-617 IV once. 4-6 weeks after completion of 225Ac-PSMA-617 patients receive 68Ga-PSMA-11 IV and undergo PSMA PET/CT scan. Within 4 weeks of the scan, patients receive SBRT for 1-5 treatments, over 1- 1- days. Treatment is given in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo PSMA PET/CT scan and blood sample collection throughout the study.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and at 60 months.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression free survival (PFS)
Time Frame: From the date of randomization to the date of disease progression or death, whichever happens earlier, up to 5 years
A progression event will be based on prostate specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/ computed tomography findings triggered either by a prostate specific antigen rise or at the timepoint defined by 24 months measured from the final radionuclide infusion (i.e., second infusion of 177Lu-PSMA-617 and first infusion of 225Ac-PSMA-617). The Kaplan-Meier (KM) method will be used to summarize PFS and log-rank test will be used to compare PFS between the two arms.
