First Clinical Trial of New Targeted Molecular Therapy in U.S. Takes Aim at Incurable Prostate Cancer

NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine clinicians in progress on Phase 1 clinical trial of PSMA-Targeted Therapeutic Agent for the Treatment for Metastatic Prostate Cancer

NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine have begun the first clinical trial in the U.S. that uses a small molecule, 177Lu-PSMA-617, to treat men with progressive prostate cancer that has spread beyond the prostate, or is metastatic, and is no longer responding to hormonal therapy.

Breaking News for Prostate Cancer

In May 2016, Dr. Jonathan Shoag with Drs. Mittal and Hu of Weill Cornell Medicine / NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital reported in the New England Journal of Medicine to demonstrate that the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial (which did not report a benefit of PSA screening) was severely flawed.
