Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn more about how the study drug alpharadin (Radium-223) works in patients who have CPRC that has spread to the bone.

Detailed Description

Study Drug Administration:

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will receive radium-223 by vein over about 1 minute at the beginning of every study cycle for 6 cycles. Every 4 weeks is a study cycle.

You will need to be well hydrated before each dose by drinking at least 2-3 cups (8 ounces each) of water.

Do not take additional drugs, including over-the-counter products and herbal/alternative drugs, during the study without talking with the study doctor first.

Study Visits:

You will have a study visit before each dose of radium-223. The following tests and procedures will be performed:

• You will have a physical exam.
• Blood (about 3-4 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine and biomarker tests, as well as to check your PSA and testosterone levels.
• Urine will be collected for biomarker testing.

At Week 12, you will have bone marrow biopsy and aspiration performed to check the status of the disease and for biomarker testing.

At Week 24 the following tests and procedures will be performed:

• You will have a physical exam.
• Blood (about 3-4 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests, as well as to check your PSA and testosterone levels.

Length of Study:

You may receive the study drug for up to 6 doses. You will be taken off study early if the disease gets worse, if you have intolerable side effects, if your study doctor thinks it is in your best interest to stop, or if you are unable to follow study directions.

End of Treatment Visit:

After you stop receiving the study drug for any reason, the following tests and procedures will be performed:

• You will have a physical exam.
• You will have a sodium fluoride PET/CT scan to check the status of the disease.
• Blood (about 3-4 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine and biomarker tests, as well as to check your PSA and testosterone levels.
• Urine will be collected for biomarker testing.
• You will have a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy performed for biomarker testing.

Long-Term Follow-Up:

The study staff will check up on you about every 6 months after your last dose of study drug. This will consist of a phone call, an e-mail, or a review of your medical records. If you are contacted by phone, the call will last about 5 minutes.

This is an investigational study. Radium-223 is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of metastatic CRPC that has spread to the bones but not to other organs. It is investigational to look for biomarkers that may be related to CRPC in patients who are receiving radium-223.

The study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work.

Up to 25 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. Histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate with evidence for skeletal metastases on bone scan and/or CT scan and symptoms judged to be related to bone metastases

2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status < 2. (Karnofsky Performance Status >/= 50%)

3. Serum testosterone levels < 50ng/ml

4. Ongoing gonadal androgen deprivation therapy with Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone (LHRH) analogues or orchiectomy. Patients, who have not had an orchiectomy, must be maintained on standard dosing of LHRH analogue therapy at appropriate frequency for the duration of the study

5. Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks (3 months)

6. Discontinue any steroids prescribed to specifically treat prostate cancer (for e.g as a secondary hormonal manipulation or for cord compression) > 4 weeks prior to study drug. Steroids chronically prescribed for a non-cancer-related illness [e.g. asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)] that is well controlled with medical management are permissible to an equivalent of <10 mg Prednisone daily. Note: Steroids may be administered during the study as supportive care

7. Laboratory Requirements: a.) white blood cell (WBC) count > 3,000/ul; b.) Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) > 1,500/ul; c.) Hemoglobin >/= 8.0 g/dL independent of transfusion; d.) Platelet count >/= 100,000/uL; e.) Serum albumin >/= 3.0 g/dL; f.) Calculated or measured creatinine clearance > 30 mL/min

8. All acute toxic effects of any prior treatment have resolved to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v4.0 Grade 1 or less at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF)

9. Patient must be willing and able to comply with protocol requirements. All patients must sign an informed consent indicating that they are aware of the investigational nature of this study

10. Patients must also have signed an authorization for the release of their protected health information

Exclusion Criteria

1. Treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy within previous 4 weeks of protocol treatment, or failure to recover from AEs due to cytotoxic chemotherapy administered more than 4 weeks prior to protocol treatment (however, ongoing neuropathy is permitted)

2. Received systemic therapy with radionuclides (e.g., strontium-89, samarium-153, rhenium-186, or rhenium-188, or Ra-223 dichloride) for the treatment of bony metastases

3. Other malignancy treated within the last 3 years (except non melanoma skin cancer or low-grade superficial bladder cancer)

4. Visceral metastases as assessed by abdominal or pelvic computed tomography (CT) (or other imaging modality)

5. Known brain metastases

6. Lymphadenopathy exceeding 6 cm in short-axis diameter

7. Any size pelvic lymphadenopathy if it is thought to be a contributor to concurrent hydronephrosis

8. Imminent spinal cord compression based on clinical findings and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Treatment should be completed for spinal cord compression

9. Any other serious illness or medical condition, such as but not limited to: a) Any infection >/= National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 4.0 Grade 2; b) Cardiac failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) III or IV; c) Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis; d) Bone marrow dysplasia; e) Fecal incontinence

10. Inability to comply with the protocol and/or not willing or not available for follow-up assessments

11. Any condition which, in the investigator's opinion, makes the subject unsuitable for trial participation

12. Concurrent anti-cancer therapy (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, immunotherapy, biologic therapy, or tumor embolization) other than Ra 223 dichloride

13. Prior use of Ra-223 dichloride, Strontium or Samarium

14. Concurrent use of another investigational drug or device therapy (i.e., outside of study treatment) during, or within 4 weeks of trial entry (signing of the informed consent form)
