About this study
Official title: Carboplatin and Cabazitaxel Versus 177Lu-PSMA-617 in Patients With Aggressive, Metastatic Castrate-resistant Prostate Cancer (CATCH-177)
The purpose of this study is to find out what treatment works best for participants with metastatic prostate cancer that are not responding to hormone treatment and docetaxel and are also Prostate-specific membrane antigen(PSMA) positive.
Read the detailed description
Brief Background/Rationale
Metastatic prostate cancer initially is very responsive to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), with intensification using an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) such as abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide, apalutamide, or darolutamide with or without docetaxel to prolong sensitivity to treatment and overall survival. Over time, however, prostate cancer transitions from castrate-sensitive to castrate-resistant. Metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) has a dismal prognosis, with a median survival of under three years. There are now several agents with diverse mechanisms of action approved for use in mCRPC including cabazitaxel, sipuleucel-T, abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide, radium-223, olaparib, rucaparib, and 177Lu-PSMA-617.
Despite the treatment advances in the past decade, many cases of mCRPC either do not respond to these treatments or only respond for a short period of time. Predictive biomarkers are needed. In addition, with several options available, it is not always clear the optimal sequencing of these agents.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
PSA response rate as assessed by the change in PSA ratio
PSA decline of ≥50% (PSA50) at 12 weeks. PSA decline will be measured by obtaining the ratio of PSA obtained on cycle 5 day 1 to baseline PSA obtained cycle 1 day 1.
Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks post intervention
Secondary outcomes (2)
Progression Free Survival
Measured: Upto 26 weeks
Time to next systemic therapy
Measured: Cycle 1 day1(each cycle will be 6 weeks upto 10 cycles) to the first day of subsequent systemic cancer-directed therapy

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Cabazitaxel and carboplatin and Lu-PSMA-617 in people with Metastatic Prostate Cancer and Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 23 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Pedro Barata, MD, MSc (216-262-1214, Pedro.Barata@UHhospitals.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
PSA response rate as assessed by the change in PSA ratio (time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks post intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Oct 2026.
