A new treatment combo slowed prostate cancer growth and delayed hormone therapy in men with limited recurrent disease.
A phase 2 clinical trial, the LUNAR study, found that giving PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy (177Lu-PNT2002) before stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) significantly delayed prostate cancer progression in men with limited recurrent disease.
Among 92 men with oligorecurrent prostate cancer, those receiving the combination therapy had a median progression-free survival of 17.6 to 18 months, more than double the 7.4 months seen with SBRT alone.
Patients also delayed starting hormone therapy by about 10 months, reducing exposure to side effects like fatigue and bone loss.
PSA levels dropped by at least 50% in over half of those on the combination treatment.
The therapy was well-tolerated, with no increase in severe side effects, and appeared to target microscopic disease not visible on scans.
Researchers identified potential biomarkers that may predict treatment response.
While nearly two-thirds of patients still progressed, the results suggest early use of targeted radioligand therapy combined with precision radiation improves outcomes and quality of life.
The findings were presented at the 2025 American Society for Radiation Oncology meeting.
