A Phase 1 interventional study of 225Ac-PSMA-Trillium (BAY3563254) in Advanced Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer and Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) Expression, sponsored by Bayer. Recruiting at 35 sites in 10 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-07-07.
Sponsored by Bayer · Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat participants who have metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
mCRPC is a cancer of the prostate (male reproductive gland found below the bladder) that has spread to other parts of the body. This type of prostate cancer does not respond to hormone treatment used to lower the level of testosterone, a male sex hormone, to prevent cancer from growing.
The study treatment 225Ac-PSMA-Trillium, also called BAY3563254, is under development to treat advanced metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. It works by binding to PSMA and giving off radiation that can damage cancer cells and stop them from growing.
The main purpose of this first-in-human study is to learn:
To answer this, the researchers will look at:
The study will have two parts. The first part, called dose escalation, is done to find the most appropriate dose of BAY3563254 for use in the second part of the study. For this, each participant will receive one of different increasing amounts of BAY3563254. They will take BAY3563254 as an injection into a vein. All participants in the second part of the study, called dose expansion, will receive the most appropriate dose of BAY3563254 that was identified from the first part of the study.
Participants in this study will take the study treatment once every 6 or 8 weeks, which is known as a treatment cycle. Each participant will have up to 4 of these treatment cycles, if the participant benefits from the treatment. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 6 years, including a screening phase of up to 30 days, 6 months of treatment depending on the participant's benefit, and a follow up phase of 60 months after the end of treatment.
In addition, substudies performed during both dose escalation and dose expansion parts of the study will evaluate:
During the study, the doctors and their study team will:
An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatments. In addition, the participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire on quality of life at certain time points during the study.
The treatment period ends with a visit in 6-12 weeks after the last BAY3563254 dose. About 6-12 weeks after the last dose and every 6 weeks thereafter, the study doctors and their team will check the participants' health and any changes in their cancer. This active follow-up period ends after 18 months. The long-term follow-up period will start after the end of the active follow-up visit and will continue for up to 60 months after the the last BAY3563254 dose. Participants will be contacted, typically by phone call or clinic visit, approximately every 12 weeks after the end of active follow-up.

Prior taxane treatment:
Dose Expansion Group B: Participants must not have received any taxane regimens since becoming castration-resistant
Adequate bone marrow, hepatic, and renal function, as assessed by the following laboratory requirements within 30 days before start of study intervention, as indicated below. Note that blood transfusions (red blood cells or platelets) and administration of G-CSF or GM-CSF are prohibited within 21 days prior to screening for the below bone marrow-related parameters.
Documented progressive mCRPC per PCWG3, and a minimum starting PSA value of 2.0 ng/mL is mandatory. Progressive mCRPC is defined as meeting at least one of the following criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
Participants who have any of the following tumor lesions which are PSMA negative AND meet the size criteria below are excluded as determined by the site Investigator. A PSMA-negative lesion for eligibility purposes must have activity equal to or less than the liver by visual assessment of the screening PSMA PET/CT scan using the study-designated PSMA PET/CT tracers. A PSMA-negative metastatic lesion should not correspond to a normal tissue structure or benign lesion.
Other prior radiopharmaceutical treatments:
Dose expansion Group C: Prior treatment with a radiopharmaceutical is prohibited with the following exceptions: Prior treatment with radium-223 dichloride more than 3 months before the start of study intervention is permitted; and prior treatment with 177Lu-PSMA more than 6 weeks before the start of study intervention is required. Note: Participants who have discontinued 177Lu-PSMA or radium-223 dichloride treatment due to intolerance are excluded from Group C.
Participants with advanced mCRPC will receive increased 225Ac-PSMA-Trillium doses in a planned stepwise fashion.
