Prostate cancer is the most frequent malignant tumor in men worldwide. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), is a surface molecule specifically expressed by prostate tumors which was shown to be a valid target for radiotherapy. 177Lu-PSMA-617, a urea-based compound, provide an effective target for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. However, a major problem in the therapeutic use of 177Lu-PSMA-617 has been its short half-life and fast rate of clearance. The investigators designed and synthesized a new radiopharmaceutical based on PSMA-11, P16-093. 68Ga-P16-093 showed higher tumor uptake and clear blood clearance than 68Ga-PSMA-617. Then, the investigators shynthesis a new therapeutic radiopharmaceutical based on P16-093, P17-087; and the investigators added a selected albumin binder into P17-088 to synthesis another new radiopharmaceutical, P17-088. This study is designed to evaluate the safety, dosimetry, and preliminary antitumor activity of 177Lu-P17-087/177Lu-P17-088. The trial will include an initial dose-escalation phase to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or optimal biological dose, which will be followed by a dose-expansion phase to confirm safety and further characterize pharmacokinetics and efficacy, thereby establishing the Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) for future development.
