Three-year Safety of Radium-223 Dichloride in Patients with Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer and Symptomatic Bone Metastases from Phase 3 Randomized Alpharadin in Symptomatic Prostate Cancer Trial

Conclusions Final long-term safety ALSYMPCA analysis shows that radium-223 remained well tolerated, with low myelosuppression incidence and no new safety concerns. Patient summary Updated Alpharadin in Symptomatic Prostate Cancer (ALSYMPCA) trial findings show that radium-223 remained well tolerated during treatment and up to 3 yr after each patient's first injection. Three-year safety follow-up of Alpharadin in Symptomatic Prostate Cancer (ALSYMPCA) trial patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer and symptomatic bone metastases revealed a continued low incidence of myelosuppression, minimal nonhematologic adverse events, and secondary malignancies (none related to treatment) in four radium-223 patients and three placebo patients.
