About This Trial

PEACE-6 Poor Responders is an international, multicenter, open-label, controlled, randomized, phase III trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 177Lu-PSMA-617 when administered on top of the ongoing standard systemic treatment compared to standard systemic treatment alone in patients with de novo metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) who do not present with a satisfactory response characterized by a serum prostatic specific antigen (PSA) level of ≥ 0.2 ng/mL at 6 to 8 months after systemic treatment initiation for mHSPC (i.e. poor responders) in the absence of evidence of cancer progression (including a rising PSA level).

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 3 trials confirm efficacy and safety in large patient groups (often 300–3,000+) and form the evidence base for an FDA approval submission. For Prostate Cancer Metastatic, Phase 3 studies typically randomize participants between the investigational treatment and either a placebo or current standard of care. A successful Phase 3 result is the threshold most treatments need to clear before regulatory approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

A target enrollment of 500 participants makes this a sizable late-stage trial. Studies in this range typically have enough power to detect clinically meaningful differences from a comparator and to characterize less-common side effects.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: All of the following criteria must be met ahead of randomization to satisfy trial eligibility requirements: 1. Signed a written willing to sign a consent form form prior to any trial specific procedures. Note: In case of physical incapacitation, a trusted representative of their choice, which is not the Investigator or sponsor, can sign on the behalf of the patients. 2. Aged ≥18 years old 3. Life expectancy \> 6 months as per investigator estimate 4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2 5. Men with diagnosed by tissue sample (biopsy-confirmed) adenocarcinoma of the prostate 6. De novo metastatic disease defined by clinical or radiographic evidence of metastases at diagnosis (i.e. before any treatment started). If not available, a more recent imaging can be used 7. Measurable disease or bone lesions evaluable according to PCWG3 criteria. Patients with doubtful bone metastases are not eligible 8. A pre-randomization 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scan performed within 4 weeks prior to randomization in the trial. FDG PET scan is not required for this protocol. All patients will be treated independently from the results of pre-randomization PSMA PET scan: patients with PSMA-positive or PSMA-negative disease according to PROMISE 2.0 criteria are eligible. 9. Have 6 to 8 months of previous AND ongoing standard systemic treatment for prostate cancer consisting in either: - ADT with an androgen receptor signaling inhibitor (ARSI) (i.e., abiraterone (plus prednisone), or apalutamide or enzalutamide) ± radiotherapy \*\* - ADT with docetaxel\* plus an ARSI (i.e. abiraterone (plus prednisone), or darolutamide,) ± radiotherapy\*\* Note: \*Docetaxel must have been stopped at least 4 weeks ahead of randomization. \*\* Previous radiotherapy to the primary tumor and/or to the metastases is accepted as long as it was not PSMA-based and must has been completed at least 4 weeks ahead of randomization. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

How do I contact the trial site for NCT06496581?

Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
