Image-Guided Biopsies to Identify Mechanisms of Resistance in Patients With Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer Treated With 177Lu-PSMA Radioligand Therapy

Radiologically Guided Biopsies of Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer to Identify Mechanisms of Resistance in Patients Undergoing 177Lu-PSMA Radioligand Therapy


Sponsor

Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center

Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

Apr 26, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This clinical trial studies mechanisms of resistance to 177-lutetium prostate specific membrane antigen (177Lu-PSMA) radioligand therapy using image-guided biopsies in patients with castrate-resistant prostate cancer that had spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Diagnostic procedures, such as image guided biopsies, may help in learning how well 177Lu-PSMA works to kill tumor cells and allow doctors to plan better treatment.


Eligibility

Sex: MALE

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is collecting tumor biopsies from men with advanced prostate cancer who are being treated with a radioactive drug called lutetium-177 PSMA (Lu-PSMA), to understand why some cancers stop responding to this treatment over time. **You may be eligible if...** - You have prostate cancer confirmed by biopsy - You are already eligible for or enrolled in a Lu-PSMA treatment program - Your PET scan shows cancer in lymph nodes or soft tissue that can be safely biopsied - You are willing to undergo an image-guided biopsy **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have only bone metastases with no soft tissue lesions accessible for biopsy - You have a bleeding disorder or are on blood thinners that cannot be temporarily paused - You are unable to provide informed consent Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
