Lutetium-PSMA Combination Therapies Show Promise in Advanced Prostate Cancer

• Combining Lutetium-PSMA with hormonal therapies like enzalutamide demonstrates improved PSA progression-free survival in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). • The ENZA-p trial showed a high PSA response rate (80%) with the combination of enzalutamide and lutetium-PSMA-617, suggesting enhanced efficacy in first-line mCRPC treatment. • Research is exploring various combinations, including PARP inhibitors, taxanes, and immunotherapy, to overcome resistance and improve outcomes in prostate cancer theranostics. • Adaptive dosing strategies and sequencing of therapies are being investigated to optimize treatment based on disease stage, patient needs, and the evolving understanding of tumor biology.
