Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Prostate cancer down-staging following treatment with Lu-177-PSMA-617 (PluvictoⓇ) defined by Gleason Grade Group
Patients will undergo a PSMA PET/CT scans up to week 11 +/- 30 days prior to radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection.

Staging of prostate cancer is based on the correlation to Gleason Grade Group (GG) according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC; 8TH edition, 2017) staging system for prostate cancer (see Appendix A). Prostate cancer downstaging is defined as the post-treatment stage less than the pre-treatment stage. Different downstaging thresholds will be applied including: * Complete downstaging (CD) is defined as no visible tumor in surgical sample; * Good response (GR) is defined as downstaging from high risk disease (GG4 or greater) to intermediate risk pathologic disease (GG2 or GG3 disease); and * Very good response (VGR) is defined as downstaging from high-risk disease (GG4 or greater) to low risk pathologic disease (GG1 disease).

Secondary Endpoints

Prostate cancer down-staging following treatment with Lu-177-PSMA-617 (PluvictoⓇ) as defined by margin status, T staging, and seminal vesicle involvement
Patients will undergo a PSMA PET/CT scans up to week 11 +/- 30 days prior to radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection.
Decrease in PSMA-avid tumor load
Patients will undergo a SOC PSMA PET/CT scans up to week 11 +/- 30 days prior to radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection.
Safety of radical prostatectomy assessed by surgical delay time
Patients will be assessed for toxicity throughout treatment with Lu-177-PSMA-617 (PluvictoⓇ) and during surgery. Following treatment with Lu-177-PSMA-617 (PluvictoⓇ) and surgery, all participants will be followed for safety with a 30-day safety follow-up

Frequently asked questions about Lu-17-PSMA-617

What is Lu-17-PSMA-617 used for in prostate adenocarcinoma?

Lu-17-PSMA-617 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of prostate adenocarcinoma. It is currently in a Phase 2 clinical trial as a neoadjuvant therapy for patients with high-risk localized prostate cancer who are undergoing radical prostatectomy. The drug is being evaluated in a single-arm, uncontrolled study.

What does Lu-17-PSMA-617 target?

Lu-17-PSMA-617 targets prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a protein highly expressed on prostate cancer cells. By binding to PSMA, the drug delivers a radioactive isotope, lutetium-177, directly to the tumor cells. This targeted approach is designed to damage cancer cells while sparing normal tissue. The drug is being investigated in prostate adenocarcinoma.

Who is developing Lu-17-PSMA-617?

Lu-17-PSMA-617 is being developed by Meridian Bioscience Inc, a company traded on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol VIVO. The company is conducting a Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the drug as a neoadjuvant treatment for high-risk localized prostate cancer.

What phase is Lu-17-PSMA-617 in?

Lu-17-PSMA-617 is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The ongoing Phase 2 trial is recruiting patients with high-risk localized prostate cancer to assess the drug's safety and efficacy before radical prostatectomy.

What clinical trials is Lu-17-PSMA-617 in?

Lu-17-PSMA-617 is being studied in one active clinical trial, identified as NCT06798558. This Phase 2 trial is titled 'Neoadjuvant Lu-177-PSMA-617 in Patients With High Risk Localized Prostate Cancer Undergoing Radical Prostatectomy.' The study is recruiting 54 male patients aged 18 years and older in the United States, and it is not randomized or blinded.

Is Lu-17-PSMA-617 the same as Lu-177-PSMA-617?

Lu-17-PSMA-617 is the drug name used in the clinical trial record, while the trial title refers to the same compound as Lu-177-PSMA-617. Both names denote the same investigational small molecule being developed by Meridian Bioscience Inc for prostate adenocarcinoma. The drug is a PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy.
