I assume you mean Lu-177-PSMA (there are two different radiopharmaceuticals using Lu-177 for PCa, and PSMA-targeted radiopharmaceuticals in trials that don't use Lu-177 as the radioactive part). Where are you located? There are trials in the US, but you can get it per protocol in Germany, India and Australia. You can read the latest trial results here:

Thank you! Yes, I was asking about Lu-177-PSMA. I am from Europe. So, I am going to find out more information about the trials from Munich. I appreciate your answer!

it seems that a lot of the innovation is coming from the University of Heidelberg - Uwe Haberkorn is the lead investigator in most of the trials. He is also exploring a new radiopharmaceutical called Ac-225-PSMA-617 that may be even better. His contact details are here:
