Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
More recently, the Phase III VISION trial confirmed the improvement in OS and radiological PFS achieved by treatment with the radioligand 177Lutetium-PSMA-617 (Lu-PSMA) in patients with advanced metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
This treatment is currently available in early access in France. Despite encouraging results, 40% of patients will not respond to Lu-PSMA, and there are currently no validated predictive factors. Studies are currently on going, but the identification of biomarkers seems necessary to better stratify risk in these patients.
Numerous tissue prognostic tests based on molecular characteristics or cell proliferation are emerging with this in mind. At present, molecular profiling is not a routine technique for prostate cancer, as it is for other solid cancers. At an early stage, the Decipher® Genomic classification tool has shown prognostic utility independently of therapeutic and clinico-pathological data.
According to recent studies, methylome analysis would enable the subdivision of mCRPCs and could help identify new therapeutic targets.
In the metastatic phase, certain molecular abnormalities involving DNA repair genes are predictive of response to PARP inhibitors.
Molecular analysis (mutations, copy number alterations, gene expression, DNA methylation) could therefore be useful in optimizing the management of mCRPC patients treated with Lu-PSMA.
If reliable molecular abnormalities are identified on tissue, a diagnostic technique based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis will be useful in decision-making for these patients. A biological collection will therefore be created during the course of this study, with a view to using ctDNA analysis in subsequent research.

This is an interventional, multi-center study. The study is prospective, single-arm, open-label and non-randomized.
Its primary objective is to identify biomarkers of interest, in primary tissue, predictive of response to Lu-PSMA treatment in patients with mCRPC, through the detection of molecular abnormalities in DNA/RNA and methyloma.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Interventional
Genetic analysis will be conducted on intial tumor sample in order to identify biomarkers
Blood samples
A total of 3 blood samples (2 tubes of 9mL each) are added. The first sample will be taken at the inclusion visit, the 2nd at the end of the 2nd treatment cycle and the last at the end of Lu-PSMA treatment.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* ECOG ≤ 2
* Patient with histologically confirmed of metastatic castration resistant prostatic adenocarcinoma and with tumor biological material available (prostatic biopsies or prostatectomy)
* Patient who received at least one taxane line and a second generation hormone therapy line
* Patient receiving androgen deprivation therapy with serum testosterone \< 50 ng/dL or \< 1.7 nmol/L or having undergone surgical castration
* Progressive mCRPC based based on at least 1 of the following criteria :
* Serum or plasma PSA progression defined as 2 consecutive increases in PSA measured at least 1 week prior. The minimal start value is 2.0 ng/mL ; 1,0 ng/mL is the minimal start value if confirmed increase in PSA is the only indication of progress
* Soft-tissue progression by RECIST 1.1 criteria
* Progression of bone disease : two new lesions ; only the positivity of bone scan defines metastatic bone disease, according to PCWG3 criteria.
* Patients with at least one metastasis, bone and/or soft tissue and/or visceral, documented by the following methods in the 43 days prior to inclusion :
* Bone metastasis (regardless of location) highlighted by bone scan AND/OR
* Lymph nodes metastasis, regardless of size and location; if the metastasis are only lymph nodes, the short axis of at least one node should be at least 15 mm AND outside the pelvis ; AND/OR
* Visceral metastasis, regardless of size and location; a history of visceral metastasis at any time prior to randomization should be encoded as the presence of visceral metastasis at baseline (i.e., a patient with visceral metastasis prior ADT introduction which are disappeared at baseline will be counted as having visceral metastasis and will be considered to have a high tumor volume during stratification)
* Patient with Lu-PSMA treatment indication, confirmed by PET 68Ga-PSMA-11. Eligibility for 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET is defined as:
