Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) reduction rates, progression-free survival (PFS), adverse event rate, and effect of combination therapy (<sup>177</sup>Lu-PSMA + enzalutamide) were evaluated.</p> <p><bold>Results.</bold> In the first group, a decrease in PSA by more than 50 % was observed in 100 % of patients, in the second group in 92.3 %. The median PFS was 8 months in the first group and 6 months in the second. No serious adverse events (&gt; grade II) were observed. Combination with enzalutamide was associated with improved PFS (median 12 months <italic>vs</italic> 6 months). Patients with poorly differentiated tumors (Gleason ≥9) and previous <sup>223</sup>Ra therapy had worse prognosis (median PFS 5 months).</p> <p><bold>Conclusion. </bold>Interruption of <sup>177</sup>Lu-PSMA therapy after 2–4 fractions with subsequent continuation in case of progression is a promising strategy that allows balancing between efficacy and safety. This approach is especially relevant for patients with limited metastatic burden and high risk of hematological toxicity. However, given the limited and heterogeneous patient sample, a detailed study in a larger patient cohort is necessary.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Цель исследования</bold> – оценка стратегии временного прерывания таргетной терапии с использованием простатического специфического мембранного антигена (ПСМА) – <sup>177</sup>Lu-ПСМА.</p> <p><bold>Материалы и методы.</bold> Проведено ретроспективное наблюдательное исследование, включившее 30 пациентов, разделенных на 2 группы: 1-ю (основную; <italic>n</italic> = 16), в которой пациенты получали от 2 до 4 фракций <sup>177</sup>Lu-ПСМА и переходили на режим наблюдения («каникулы»), и 2-ю (контрольную; <italic>n</italic> = 14), в которой пациенты завершили стандартные 6 фракций. Оценивались показатели снижения уровня простатического специфического антигена, выживаемость без прогрессирования (ВБП), частота побочных эффектов и влияние комбинированной терапии (<sup>177</sup>Lu-ПСМА + энзалутамид).</p> <p><bold>Результаты. </bold>В 1-й группе снижение уровня простатического специфического антигена более чем на 50 % определялось у 100 % пациентов, во 2-й – у 92,3 %. Медиана ВБП составила 8 мес в 1-й группе и 6 мес во 2-й. Серьезных побочных эффектов (&gt;II степени тяжести) не наблюдалось. Комбинация с энзалутамидом ассоциировалась с увеличением ВБП (медиана 12 мес против 6 мес). Пациенты с низкодифференцированной опухолью (сумма баллов по шкале Глисона ≥9) и предшествовавшей терапией <sup>223</sup>Ra имели худший прогноз (медиана ВБП – 5 мес).</p> <p><bold>Заключение. </bold>Прерывание терапии <sup>177</sup>Lu-ПСМА после 2–4 фракций с последующим возобновлением при прогрессировании – перспективная стратегия, позволяющая балансировать между эффективностью и безопасностью. Этот подход особенно актуален для пациентов с ограниченной метастатической нагрузкой и высоким риском гематологической токсичности. Однако, учитывая ограниченность и гетерогенность выборки, требуется детальное изучение на более крупной когорте пациентов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>prostate cancer</kwd><kwd>177Lu-PSMA</kwd><kwd>radionuclide therapy</kwd><kwd>radioligand therapy</kwd><kwd>positron emission tomography/computed tomography</kwd><kwd>18F-PSMA</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>рак предстательной железы</kwd><kwd>177Lu-ПСМА</kwd><kwd>радионуклидная терапия</kwd><kwd>радиолигандная терапия</kwd><kwd>позитронно-эмиссионная томография, совмещенная с компьютерной томографией</kwd><kwd>18F-ПСМА</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Sung H., Ferlay J., Siegel R.L. et al.
