This trial is for adult men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer progressing after an androgen-receptor-signaling inhibitor, without prior chemotherapy for castration-resistant disease or cancer-related pain. The radiotherapy cohort requires PSMA-positive imaging.

The idea: high-dose testosterone may damage DNA in hormone-resistant tumor cells. Patients continue androgen deprivation and choose testosterone with carboplatin, etoposide, or PSMA-targeted lutetium radiation. Subgroups differ in which treatment starts first. Biopsies and scans assess effects; researchers measure PSA response.

This phase 2 study plans 69 patients. Michael Schweizer leads at Fred Hutch/University of Washington, Seattle, the sole recruiting US site.
