177Lu-PSMA-617 Combined With Darolutamide in Neoadjuvant Treatment of High-risk Localized Prostate Cancer: a Prospective, Single-arm, Multi-center Clinical Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 Jul 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the efficacy and safety of darolutamide combined with 177Lu-PSMA-617 in treating high-risk localized prostate cancer patients who are scheduled to undergo radical prostatectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does this combination treatment improve the pathological complete response rate (pCR)? What is the minimal residual disease (MRD) rate in these patients? What are the safety profiles and any adverse effects associated with this treatment? Researchers will compare the combination of darolutamide and 177Lu-PSMA-617 to a placebo to see if the combination is effective in treating high-risk localized prostate cancer. Participants will: Receive either darolutamide combined with 177Lu-PSMA-617 or a placebo every day for 12 weeks. Visit the clinic every 6 weeks for checkups and tests. Keep a diary of their symptoms and any side effects experienced during the treatment. Undergo imaging tests, including prostate MRI and PSMA PET/CT, before surgery and during follow-up.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Patients who have previously received androgen deprivation therapy (medical or surgical) more than 3 months or focal treatment of prostate cancer or prostate cancer radiotherapy or prostate cancer chemotherapy
  • Patients with severe or uncontrolled concurrent infections
  • Patients must not have New York Heart Association Class III or IV congestive heart failure at the time of screening. Patients must not have any thromboembolic event, unstable angina pectoris, myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to registration

Other illness

  • Patients with low-risk and medium-risk, localized prostate cancer (the following conditions are met at the same time) are not eligible: prostate specific antigen (PSA) \<20 ng/mL multiparameter MRI or PSMA PET / CT shows clinical staging of primary tumor \< T3, Gleason score of primary tumor \< 8
  • Uncontrolled severe hypertension, persistently uncontrolled diabetes, oxygen-dependent lung disease, chronic liver disease, or HIV infection
  • Patients with a history of other malignancies within the past 5 years, except for prostate cancer, are not eligible; however, cured basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin may be eligible
  • Patients with mental illness, mental disability, or inability to provide informed consent

Other

  • Patients with prostate having neuroendocrine, small cell, or sarcoma-like features are not eligible
  • Patients with clinical or radiological evidence of regional or extra-regional lymph node metastases or bone metastases or visceral metastases (any M1)
  • Primary lesion SUVmax \< 20.0 as assessed by PSMA-PET examination.

Who the study is looking for

  • Patients must be ≥ 18 and ≤75 years of age
  • All patients must have a histologically or cytologically diagnosis of prostate cancer,without distant metastasis, and suitable for radical prostatectomy
  • All patients meet at least one of the following criteria: multi-parameter MRI or PSMA PET / CT shows clinical staging of primary tumor ≥ T2c; Gleason score of primary tumor ≥ 8; prostate specific antigen (PSA) ≥20 ng/ml; Radiographic assessment of regional lymph node metastases (N1)
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) physical condition score 0- 1
  • Primary lesion SUVmax ≥ 20.0 as assessed by PSMA-PET examination.
  • Adequate organ function: Complete Blood Count: White blood cell count (WBC) ≥ 3.0 × 10\^9/L, platelet count ≥ 100 × 10\^9/L, hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL. Renal Function: Serum creatinine ≤ 2 × ULN. Liver Function: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 × ULN, total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 × ULN. Coagulation Function: International normalized ratio (INR) \< 1.5.
  • Voluntary Participation: Participants must voluntarily agree to participate and sign the informed consent form (ICF), indicating their understanding of the purpose of the study and the required procedures, as well as their willingness to participate in the research. Participants must be willing to comply with the prohibitions and restrictions outlined in the study protocol.
