Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED

Brief Summary

This is an open label study designed to examine the effects on concurrent administration of Radium Ra 223 dichloride and Abiraterone Acetate plus Prednisone in subjects with symptomatic castrate resistant prostate cancer and with bone metastases, in both the pre- and post- chemotherapy setting. Both medications are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for this indication.

Detailed Description

Approximately 40 subjects will be enrolled to obtain 30 evaluable subjects. All subjects will receive Radium Ra 223 dichloride every 4 weeks for a total of 6 doses over 24 weeks and concurrent Abiraterone Acetate plus Prednisone for a minimum duration of 26 weeks.

Subjects will be evaluated 30 days after the last dose of Radium Ra 223 dichloride. All adverse events deemed to be study related will be followed until resolution. Including screening, the total duration of the study is 32 weeks.

Concurrent use of Radium Ra 223 dichloride and Abiraterone Acetate plus Prednisone

Intervention Type: DRUG

Radium Ra 223 dichloride - A targeted alpha particle-emitting pharmaceutical (a radiopharmaceutical drug) is a ready-to-use solution for intravenous injection containing the drug substance radium dichloride. The active moiety is the alpha particle emitting nuclide Ra-223, present as a divalent cation (223Ra2+) and Abiraterone Acetate - A CYP17 inhibitor, indicated in combination with prednisone for the treatment of subjects with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Administration of Abiraterone Acetate may result in mineralocorticoid-related adverse events (AEs), due to CYP17 inhibition. Therefore, Abiraterone Acetate is administered in combination with Prednisone to reduce the frequency of these AEs.

2. Subject is willing and able to comply with the protocol, including all study visits and procedures.

3. Subject is a male, greater than 18 years at time of enrollment.

4. Life expectancy of at least 9 months.

5. Subject has histologically documented prostate cancer confirmed by a pathology report from a prostate biopsy or radical prostatectomy specimen.

6. Subject must:

• have initiated a stable dose of daily Abiraterone Acetate plus Prednisone within 90 days of enrollment, or

• plans to initiate a stable daily dose of Abiraterone plus Prednisone within 30 days of the first Radium Ra 223 dichloride treatment.

7. Subject must plan to receive all 6 Radium Ra 223 dichloride injections and daily oral doses of Abiraterone plus Prednisone during the trial, per protocol.

8. Subject has a history of bone metastasis from prostate cancer as evidenced by imaging performed within 90 days of enrollment from one of the following:

• Tc Bone Scan or

• Sodium Fluoride PET/CT Scan

*If a bone scan is used, solitary lesions which could be contributed to causes other than prostate cancer must be confirmed with a second modality (i.e.: plain films, CT Scan or MRI.

9. Subject has Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer, defined as rising PSA with a testosterone level </= 50ng/dl (2.0 nM/L) while receiving androgen deprivation therapy (medical or surgical castration).

• PSA progression will be defined as at least 2 rising PSA levels taken at least 7 days apart with the 2nd PSA being 2.0 ng/dl or greater.

10. Subject has the presence of bone pain requiring treatment with:

1) EBRT within the previous 12 weeks prior to enrollment, or 2) Analgesic medications (including but not limited to acetaminophen, NSAIDS, Cox-2 inhibitors, and narcotic Opioids).

11. Subject has an ECOG performance status of 0-2 at screening 12. Acceptable hematology and serum biochemistry screening values:

• White Blood Cell (WBC) >/= 3,000/mm3

• Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) >1500/mm3
• Platelet (PLT) count >100,000/mm3
