Summary

"This trial aims to see if using the drug Pluvicto instead of a standard therapy can reduce the risk of cancer coming back and maintain quality of life in patients with advanced prostate cancer. Participants will

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men with advanced local prostate cancer who haven't had hormone therapy yet. They should be fit for radiation treatment and willing to potentially delay hormone therapy. People can't join if they've already had certain treatments, have other cancers, or conditions that could interfere with the study.
What is being tested?
The trial tests Pluvicto (Lu-PSMA-617) combined with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT). Participants get one dose of Pluvicto, followed by a series of five radiation treatments over two weeks, then possibly up to two more doses of Pluvicto at six-week intervals.
What are the potential side effects?
Pluvicto may cause dry mouth, nausea, fatigue, blood count changes and kidney issues. SBRT might lead to urinary problems like frequency and discomfort as well as bowel changes such as diarrhea.
