Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To assess the activity and safety of sequential lutetium-177 (177 Lu)-PSMA-617 and docetaxel vs docetaxel on a background of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in men with de novo metastatic hormone-naïve prostate cancer (mHNPC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: UpFrontPSMA (NCT04343885) is an open-label, randomized, multicentre, phase 2 trial, recruiting 140 patients at 12 Australian centres. Key eligibility criteria include: prostate cancer with a histological diagnosis within 12 weeks of screening commencement; prostate-specific antigen (PSA) >10 ng/mL at diagnosis; ≤4 weeks on ADT; evidence of metastatic disease on computed tomography (CT) and/or bone scan; high-volume prostate-specific ..
