About this trial

This study is a phase I dose escalation clinical trial aims to evaluate 161Tb-PSMA-I\&T, a new generation prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy (RLT) using Terbium-161 to replace Lutetium-177, its safety, dosimetry, biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy in Taiwanese men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, and to inform future clinical trials.
