The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 177Lu-PSMA-617 in combination with Standard of Care (SOC), versus Standard of Care alone, in adult male patients with Metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). In this study, the SoC is defined as a combination of Androgen Receptor Directed Therapy + Androgen Deprivation Therapy. Approximately 1126 patients will be randomized in this study. As of 31-Jan-2024, 1144 participants were enrolled in 20 countries.
In this international, open-label, prospective, phase III study, where approximately 1126 patients with treatment naïve or minimally treated PSMA-positive mHSPC were to be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive Standard of Care (SoC) with or without the radioligand 177Lu-PSMA-617. The primary objective of the study was to determine whether the combination of 177Lu-PSMA-617 + SoC improved radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) over that obtained by administration of SoC alone in mHSPC patients. The randomization was stratified according to the following three factors: disease volume (high v low), age \>= 70 years (yes/no), and on Previous or planned treatment (prostatectomy or radiation) to primary (prostate) tumor (yes/no). Study duration: approximately 50 months. screening period: after signing ICF, patients were assessed for eligibility and were scanned with 68Ga PSMA-11 to identify PSMA expression status. Following completion of all required screening procedures and verifying participant eligibility, the participant was randomized via the interactive response technology (IRT) system. Amended protocol v02 included an option for participants to be enrolled into a separate long-term safety follow-up study, and China extension cohort (40 to 60 participants). Amended protocol v03 excluded China extension cohort and added a second 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scan at rPD. Prior treatment: * Up to 45 days of Luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist/antagonists was allowed prior to informed consent form (ICF) signature. If patient did not start the ADT prior randomization, ADT started as soon as possible and ideally no later than 2 weeks after randomization. * Up to 45 days of ARDT was allowed prior ICF signature. If patient did not start the ARDT prior randomization, ARDT started as soon as possible and ideally no later than 2 weeks after randomization. Patients received ARDT as per label instructions. Randomization period: The participant was randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive Standard of Care (SoC) with or without the radioligand 177Lu-PSMA-617. Treatment period: Patients randomized to the investigational arm (i.e. SoC+177Lu-PSMA-617): Patients received SoC as per label instructions, after randomization, if not started earlier and in the time frame allowed by the protocol. Patients began 177Lu-PSMA-617 dosing within 14 days after randomization or as soon as possible after the product was received. 177Lu-PSMA-617 is administered at the dose of 7.4 GBq (+/- 10%), once every 6 weeks (+/- 1 week) for a planned 6 cycles. Patients randomized to the control arm began receiving SoC as per label instructions after randomization, if not started earlier and in the time frame allowed by the protocol. The primary endpoint of rPFS was assessed by a centralized blinded image review committee (i.e., BIRC) using radiographic images provided by the treating physician. Participants from both arms also underwent PET/CT scan with 68GaPSMA-11 following Centrally confirmed rPD. An end of treatment (EOT) visit will be performed when participants permanently discontinue study treatment. Cross-over period: After patients randomized to the SoC alone (i.e., control) arm experience radiographic progression (the rPFS event) as confirmed by BIRC, they will be allowed to cross-over to receive 177Lu-PSMA-617 +/- SoC per the discretion of the treating physician. If cross-over to 177Lu-PSMA-617 is selected, then 177Lu-PSMA-617 will be administered with the same dose/schedule as participants who were initially randomized to receive 177Lu-PSMA-617 as described above. Study cross-over participants for whom 177Lu-PSMA-617 is discontinued must have a second End of Treatment (EOT2) visit performed =\< 7 days and enter the Post-treatment Follow-up. Post-Treatment Follow-Up (Safety, Efficacy): After treatment discontinuation, all participants will be followed for safety with a 30-day safety follow-up visit (FUP) as well as longer term safety follow-up assessments for a period of approximately 12 months. Participants who discontinue study treatment without having progressive disease confirmed by BIRC, will continue to be assessed for efficacy (efficacy follow-up) during the post-treatment follow-up period until the occurrence of their BIRC-confirmed radiographic disease progression (rPFS) event , or if the total number of protocol-defined rPFS events has occurred triggering the primary analysis, whichever occurs first. Survival Follow-Up: After study treatment discontinuation, or post-treatment follow-up period discontinuation, the participant's status will be collected every 90 days (via phone calls) as part of the survival follow-up. Every effort should be made to comply with the survival follow-up schedule and ensure collection of participant survival. The survival follow-up and the study will end when the number of OS events required for final OS analysis will be reached.

Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Prostate (FACT-P) Questionnaire
FACT-P assesses symptoms/problems related to prostate carcinoma and its treatment. It is a combination of the FACT-General + the Prostate Cancer Subscale (PCS). The FACT-General (FACT-G) is a 27 item Quality of Life (QoL) measure that provides a total score as well as subscale scores: Physical (0-28), Functional (0-28), Social (0-28), and Emotional Well-being (0-24). The total score range is between 1-108, higher scores indicates better for total score and subscale scores. PCS is a 12-item prostate cancer subscale that asks about symptoms and problems specific to prostate cancer (Range 0-48, higher scores better). The FACT-P total score is the sum of all 5 subscale scores of the FACT-P questionnaire and ranges from 0-156. Higher scores indicate higher degree of functioning and better quality of life.

European Quality of Life ( EuroQoL) -5 Domain 5 Level Scale (EQ-5D-5L)
EQ-5D-5L is a standardized participant completed questionnaire that measures health-related quality of life and translates that score into an index value or utility score. EQ-5D-5L consists of two components: a health state profile and an optional visual analogue scale (VAS). EQ-5D health state profile is comprised of 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: 1= no problems, 2= slight problems, 3=moderate problems, 4= severe problems, and 5= extreme problems. Higher scores indicated greater levels of problems across each of the five dimensions.
Time frame: From screening up till 30 day safety follow-up or week 48 of long term follow up for patient prematurely discontinued, assessed up to 50 months (estimated final OS analysis)
Brief Pain Inventory-short Form (PBI-SF)
The BPI-SF is a publicly available instrument to assess the pain and includes severity and interference scores. BPI-SF is an 11-item self report questionnaire that is designed to assess the severity and impact of pain on daily functions of a participant. Pain severity score is a mean value for BPI-SF questions 3, 4, 5 and 6 (questions inquiring about the extent of pain, where the extent is ranked from 0 \[no pain\] to 10 \[pain as bad as you can imagine\]). Pain severity progression is defined as an increase in score of 30% or greater from baseline without decrease in analgesic use.
