Radium-223 dichloride (Xofigo, BAY88-8223)

Drug

Alpharadin (Radium-223 dichloride) is administered intravenously as a bolus injection.

docetaxel

Drug

Docetaxel (75 mg/m^2) will be administered intravenously every 3 weeks with 5 mg prednisone twice a day continuously and pre-medication with dexamethasone. Step-down to 60 mg/m^2 is allowed as per the approved docetaxel label.

Platelet count Grade >= 4 (CTCAE, v4.0: < 25× 109/L) lasting longer than 7 days. Diarrhea Grade >= 3 (CTAE, v4.0: increase of >= 7 stools per day over baseline; incontinence; hospitalization indicated; severe increase in ostomy output compared with baseline; limiting self-care in activities of daily living) in spite of optimal use of antidiarrheal medication.

    Time frame: From start of study treatment to 12 months, at every 12 weeks

    Time to first radiologic or clinical progression is determined by one of the following:

    • For soft tissue lesions, the determination is based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1.
    • For bone disease, the determination is based on Prostate Cancer Working Cohort 2 (PCWG2) definitions, which require the appearance of at least 2 new lesions with a confirmatory bone scan at least 6 or more weeks later. For clinical progression, the investigators followed the recommendations of the PCWG25 and used their clinical judgment to determine clinical progression.

    Time frame: From start of study treatment to 12 months, at every 12 weeks

    PFS defined as the time from randomization (randomization referred to the date of treatment assignment) to disease progression (radiological or clinical, whichever was earlier) or death (if death occurred before progression was documented). Subjects without progression or death at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of tumor evaluation.

  6. Overall Survival Rate

    Time frame: 12 months

    The overall survival (OS) time in days was calculated as number of days since the day of first dose of study medication until the date of death.

  7. Number of Subjects Who Responded to Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) Pain

    Time frame: From start of study treatment until 12 months

    The subject completed the full BPI (short form) paper questionnaire, and clinical staff completed the analgesic log. The test consists of 10 questions addressing severity, location, chronicity, and amount of relief. In question 3, subjects with pain are asked to evaluate the severity of pain at worst in the past 24 hours in a 0 to 10 scale, with 0 indicating no pain, and 10 indicating the worst pain.
