Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This an open label non-randomised phase I/II study in men with prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive, hormone refractory, progressive prostate cancer present within the preceding 6 months based on radiology and or symptomatic progression.

There are three cohorts which will receive up to six cycles of therapeutic 177 Lu-PSMA combined with either idronoxil 400 mg daily, idronoxil 800 mg daily or idronoxil 1200 mg daily depending on patient response. Enrolment into the higher dose level of idronoxil will only occur after prior cohort is filled and data safety monitoring recommendation to proceed. Each cohort will undergo a 42 day treatment cycle with a single IV injection of 177 Lu-PSMA on day 0 of each cycle. The dose given is calculated by the doctor based on the participant's weight and volume of disease. Dose will vary between individuals. Both cohorts, following administration of 177 Lu-PSMA, will provided with the appropriate idronoxil to self administer at home once a day for the following 9 days. Idronoxil are suppositories and participants will be instructed on the method of administration and provided with instruction sheet.

Participants will routinely follow up with treating doctor before each cycle to assess benefit of treatment and adherence to study. Each 42 day cycle will follow the same plan and the participant will continue onto next cycle with .

Timepoint [1] 304109 0
The assessments will occur at baseline, after one cycle of treatment and at the end of each cycle thereafter.
Primary outcome [2] 304257 0

Timepoint [2] 304257 0
The assessments will occur at baseline, after one cycle of treatment and at the end of each cycle thereafter.

The efficacy will be determined by

Primary end-points:
1. Descriptive statistics will be used to document change in pain scores, QOL scores, PSA response and imaging disease response at 3 months following completion of therapy compared to baseline scores along with 95% confidence interval.
a. For PSA, the percentage of patients with 50% decline from baseline will be described as per Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG2)24
2. The proportion of patients who suffer grade 1,2 3 or 4 toxicity will be provided along with its 95% confidence interval.

¬¬Secondary end-points:
1. Mean absorbed dose (Gy) estimated in in normal tissues and tumour will be recorded along with 95% confidence interval.
2. Kaplan-Meier methods will be used to describe progression free and overall survival at 6 and 12 months, defined from the date of start of treatment. This will be estimated from the Kaplan-Meier curve along with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals.
