Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Subjects must have histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer that has previously been treated with an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor. Prior docetaxel exposure is recommended but not mandatory. Tissue is not mandatory, but a pathologic report is required at time of enrollment.
- Participants must have a PSMA-positive 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 performed within 12 weeks from C1D1 with ≥1 site with SUVmax ≥10) mCRPC with progression on prior novel hormonal agent to include at least one of the following:
- PSMA SUV mean \<10
- ≥1 visceral metastasis
- ≥5 bone metastases OR two of the following
- RB1 mutation.
- Age \> 18 years.
- ECOG performance status of 0 to 2.
- Subjects must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below to be suitable for the randomized treatment outlined in this:
- Absolute neutrophil count \>1000/μL; platelet count \>90 000/μL; hemoglobin \>8.5 g/dL) at screening. Note: Subjects must not have received any growth factors within 7 days or blood transfusions within 14 days prior to the hematologic laboratory values obtained at screening).
- Total bilirubin (TBIL) \<2.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) at screening, except subjects with documented Gilbert syndrome who must have a TBIL \<3 mg/dL
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \< 5 ULN at screening
- Creatinine clearance ≥40 mL/min and/or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30
- Albumin \>30 g/L (3.0 g/dL) at screening
- Subjects receiving bisphosphonates or other approved bone-targeting therapy (e.g., denosumab) must be on a stable dose for at least 14 days before the start of study treatment.
- Subjects of child-producing potential agree to use highly effective contraceptive methods (i.e., barrier contraception measures such as a male condom with spermicide during intercourse) and avoid sperm donation during the study treatment and for 3 months after the last dose of study treatment. A man is considered to be of child producing potential, unless he has had a bilateral vasectomy with documented aspermia or a bilateral orchiectomy. Partners of participants must also practice approved forms of birth control
- Subjects must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent form (ICF).
- Members of all races and ethnic groups are eligible for this trial.
Exclusion criteria
- Evidence of hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC)
- Evidence of small cell prostate cancer
- Subjects receiving any other investigational agents.
- Diagnosis of another clinically significant malignancy within the previous 2 years other than curatively treated non-melanomatous skin cancer or superficial urothelial carcinoma and other in situ or noninvasive malignancies, as determined by the PI or Co-PI.
- Subjects with brain metastases/central nervous system (CNS) disease that are treated prior to enrollment will be allowed in this clinical trial.
- Known or suspected significant hypersensitivity to any components of the formulation used for Cabazitaxel, carboplatin or 177Lu-PSMA-617.
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations considered by the Investigator to limit compliance with study requirements.
- Prior treatment toxicities not resolved to ≤ Grade 2 according to NCI CTCAE Version 5.0

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
