SPLASH (gesloten)

SPLASH onderzoekt  Lutetium-PSMA voorafgaande aan chemotherapie. Het betreft dus patiënten met hormoontherapie en vervolgens mCRPC en ziekteprogressie na een ARSI ( abiraterone of enzalutamide). Patiënten worden gerandomiseerd tussen Lutetium-PSMA en een cross-over naar de ARSI die ze nog niet hebben gehad. We weten uit CARD dat die cross-over niet erg zinvol is, maar het goede aspect is dat patiënten in die ARSI cross-over arm mogen overstappen naar Lutetium-PSMA zodra is vastgesteld dat de ziekte daadwerkelijk (radiologisch) progressief is. Uit CARD weten we dat dit vaak al na 12 weken vast te stellen is. Bovendien is de verdeling bij de randomisatie 2:1, dus de kans om gelijk in de Lutetium groep terecht te komen, is twee keer groter dan in de hormoon-cross-over groep.

SPLASH is daarmee een zeer geschikte studie voor patiënten die in aanmerking willen komen voor een Lutetium behandeling VOORAFGAANDE aan de huidige reguliere behandeling met  docetaxel en cabazitaxel.

Studie SPLASH is open in:  ErasmusMC (prof. De Wit), Radboudumc (dr. Van Gemert ), St Antonius Ziekenhuis (dr. Lavalaye).
