This research is being done to find out if the study drug, 177Lu-PSMA-617, given before and during standard of care External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) treatment, with a shorter course of Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) (6 months) is (1) safe and effective compared to standard of care alone, and (2) can reduce the side effects caused by long-term (24 months) ADT in men with high risk localized prostate cancer.
Patient must have high-risk prostate cancer (HRPC) defined by presence of exactly one high-risk feature: cT3a OR Grade Group 4 or 5 OR PSA > 20 ng/mL.
Histologic confirmation of adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
Patient must have localized HRPC defined by conventional imaging (no N1 disease by CT or MRI). Patients with or without intra-pelvic nodal metastases by PSMA-PET may be included as long as not enlarged >10mm short axis by conventional CT size criteria.
Patients must have PSMA-PET (68Ga-PSMA-11 or 18F-DCFPyL) with prostate tumor SUVmax > 10.
Presence of a very high-risk feature: cT3b to T4 OR primary pattern 5 OR 2 to 3 high-risk features OR >4 cores with Grade Group 4 or 5.
Any prior pharmacotherapy (with the exception of up to 45 days of ADT prior to randomization), radiation therapy, or surgery as treatment for prostate cancer. Any prior radiopharmaceutical therapy.
Any prior radiation to the pelvis.
Presence of N1 or M1 disease by conventional imaging (CT, MRI, and/or bone scan) or M1 disease by PSMA-PET (68Ga-PSMA-11 or 18F-DCFPyL). Lymph nodes with short axis > 8 mm by CT will be considered N1 by conventional imaging.
