Barree Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 The trial is titled "Using Theranostics Early to Eradicate Prostate Cancer and Developing Novel Strategies for PSMA Negative Disease". These clinical trials are headed by Prof. Michael Hofman and A/Prof. Arun Azad of Peter Mac. Recruiting is expected start early next year.Details of these trials will follow later this year. In essence, Lutetium will be given earlier in the piece, Lutetium will in special circumstances be given prior to robotic surgery, Research will commence into CAR T cell treatment for prostate cancer which is not PSMA avid and cannot currently be treated using Lutetium. A dedicated team of specialist Doctors,Scientists and Clinical Researchers at Peter Mac have just successfully applied to the Movember/ Cancer Australia Prostate Cancer Research Alliance for funding of these new Lutetium trials. (see details by clicking this link to the Peter Mac site) http://tinyurl.com/y36xuwqg This is a world-class proposal from a world-class multi-institutional Australian team. Movember and Cancer Australia will jointly provide $4M in funding to the Alliance. In addition generous financial support for these trials totalling $1.4M will also be provided by Peter Mac Foundation, University of Melbourne, Victoria Cancer Agency, Monash University, Epworth/E.J Whitten Foundation, Peter Mac Research Division. This funding will be used solely for prostate cancer research The grant interview team for this project consisted of Prof. Michael Hofman, A/Prof. Arun Azad, A/Prof. Declan Murphy and yours truly as a consumer representative. Hopefully these trials will provide a quantum leap forward for prostate cancer treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ardee Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Very interesting - I am assuming participants do not have to be BRCA+. We have a couple of men who are BRCA2+ and have been considering Lu177 PSMA - although both are already on olaparib, and one is sadly now too far gone with brain mets. He was admitted to a Lu trial but then withdrew. I am very curious as to the combination - does anyone know the hypothesis behind combining Lu177 with a PARP-I?? Onward & upwards, rd PS AnCan is hosting a webinar tomorrow (Tuesday for you, I think) on The Language of Cancer https://ancan.org/event/the-language-of-cancer/ - please join us to provide a littel Aussie flavor. You can send questions to rd@ancan.org, or join online and use the Chat window. Free and drop-in - no reservation required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamW Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Somewhere down in the fine print among the exclusions for the LuPARP trial: Any prior exposure to 177Lu-PSMA, cabazitaxel, platinums, PARP inhibitors, mitoxantrone or cyclophosphamide. The last two rule me out, as I had 4 cycles of these chemo drugs straight after surgery in 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
