Standard Dose Versus High Dose and Versus Extended Standard Dose Radium-223 Dichloride in Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer Metastatic to the Bone

Symptomatic skeletal event (SSE) free survival is based on the following events: the use of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) to relieve skeletal symptoms; the occurrence of new symptomatic pathological bone fractures (vertebral or nonvertebral); the occurrence of spinal cord compression; a tumor related orthopedic surgical intervention, and death. In this evaluation - comparison 1, SSE-FS following randomization is defined in ITT participants as the time from randomization to an SSE or death, whichever occurs first.

Overall survival was defined as the time in days from the applicable start date to the date of death due to any cause. Participants who were still alive or who were lost to survival follow-up as of database cut-off date were to be censored at the last known alive date on or prior to database cut-off date.

Radiological progression of soft tissue disease is determined according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 based on Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans. Radiological progression of osseous disease is determined according to adapted PCWG2 criteria based on whole body technetium-99 bone scans. Radiological bone progression is determined if at least one of the following criteria is met: The first bone scan with ≥2 new lesions compared to baseline is observed <12 weeks from randomization and is confirmed by a second bone scan taken ≥6 weeks later showing ≥2 additional new lesions (a total of ≥4 new lesions compared to baseline); or The first bone scan with ≥2 new lesions compared to baseline is observed ≥12 weeks from randomization and the new lesions are verified on the next bone scan ≥6 weeks later (a total of ≥2 new lesions compared to baseline).

Radiological progression free survival is defined as the time in days from the applicable start date to the date of subsequent radiological disease progression or death from any cause (if death occurs before such progression). Participants not experiencing death or radiological disease progression as of database cut-off were censored at the last radiological disease progression assessment.

Timepoint pain improvement rate is defined as the proportion of participants with a 30% and 2-point decrease in Worst pain score (WPS) from baseline over 2 consecutive assessment periods conducted at least 4 weeks apart among participants with a WPS score ≥ 4 at baseline.

Participants were divided in 3 groups according to baseline pain evaluation: asymptomatic subjects (WPS 0 to < 1 at baseline); mildly symptomatic subjects (WPS 1-3 at baseline); and symptomatic subjects with WPS > 3 and ≤ 7 at baseline). Pain progression was defined as the occurrence of a pain increase of 2 or more points in the average (i.e., average of 7-day assessments) "worst pain in 24 hours" score from baseline observed at 2 consecutive evaluations ≥ 4 weeks apart. Participants with insufficient applicable baseline assessments or without adequate post-baseline assessments were to be censored at the applicable baseline date.

The time to pain progression is defined for each applicable baseline for applicable participants as the time (in days) from the respective baseline until occurrence of the first post-baseline pain progression event.

Pain progression is defined for each baseline in participants evaluable for pain progression at the applicable baseline, i.e., participants with a WPS of ≤ 7 at the respective baseline assessment.

Treatment-emergent adverse events are events starting or worsening from the initiation of treatment until 30 days after the last administration of radium-223 dichloride. The intensity of an AE is classified according to the grades specified by the National Cancer Institute- Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE).

Analgesic use in this study were captured via two methods: Analgesic concomitant medication case report form, where the physician records the analgesic medication prescribed to manage pain; 24 hour analgesic consumption case report form, in which all analgesic medication taken in the last 24 hours.
