Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Targeted delivery of radiotherapy (radionuclide therapy) with intravenous administration of Lutetium-177 radiolabelled to prostate specific membrane antigen (LuPSMA).
- administered activity of 4-8 GBq, dose adjusted according to tumour burden, patient weight and renal function. LuPSMA administered on day 1 of a 6 week cycle.
- post therapy imaging following each administration of LuPSMA with quantitative SPECT/CT with each cycle to determine radiation dose delivered to tumour and normal tissues
- further cycles (up to four) will be given if post-therapy imaging demonstrates sufficient uptake to indicate further benefit. Cycles will be separated by 6 weeks
