Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction Ra-223 is a first-in-class alpha-emitter pharmaceutical that targets bone metastases with high-energy, extremely short range ( Methods The cohort for this analysis consisted of all pts who received Chemo after completion of Ra-223 or Pbo. Chemo agents were identified, and length of time from last injection of study drug to start of Chemo and its duration calculated. Available hematology data were reviewed, and post hoc analysis of survival conducted. Results The proportion of pts receiving subsequent Chemo was 90/614 (15%) in the Ra-223 group and 54/307 (18%) in the Pbo group. Docetaxel (n = 102), mitoxantrone (n = 23), and cyclophosphamide (n = 19) were the most commonly used. Duration of Chemo and available docetaxel dosage data were similar in both groups. Median time to Chemo was 2 weeks longer following Ra-223. Median OS from start of Chemo was 15.6 mos and 14.6 mos in the Ra-223 and Pbo groups, respectively (P = .6930). Number of deaths and causality during and 30 days post Chemo and limited available hematologic data were similar in both groups (Table). Conclusions Patients were able to receive Chemo following Ra-223 and have a similar safety profile and outcome as for Chemo following Pbo. No toxic deaths occurred. Prospective studies to evaluate Chemo following Ra-223 are warranted.
