10

Results

Ten patients were enrolled; 8 (80%) completed all six Ra-223 injections. Mean ALP change at approximately 6 months was -6.4% (95% CI, -17.5% to 6.2%; p=0.256). Among 8 patients with paired measurements, median PSA change was +152.4% (IQR, +39.4% to +284.5%; p=0.0078). No grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent adverse events or clinical fractures occurred.

Baseline Characteristics

All 10 participants were men. The median age was 78 years (range, 66-89). ECOG performance status was 0 in 4 patients (40%) and 1 in 6 patients (60%). Four patients (40%) had symptomatic bone metastases. At Ra-223 initiation, the median PSA level was 3.30 ng/mL (range, 2.44-14.26) and the median ALP level was 63 U/L (range, 41-97).

Participant flow

Ten patients were enrolled, received at least one Ra-223 injection while continuing ENZA, and were included in the analysis set. Eight patients (80%) completed all six planned Ra-223 injections. Two discontinued Ra-223 early: one because of declining activities of daily living in the context of advanced age and at the patient's request, and one because of rapid PSA progression during treatment. Neither discontinuation was attributed to a treatment-emergent adverse event. Eight patients with paired measurements at approximately 6 months were included in the ALP and PSA analyses. All 10 patients were included in the safety analysis.

Adverse events

Treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 6 patients (60%) and were predominantly grade 1 or 2. Events included fatigue in 3 patients (30%), nausea in 2 (20%), anemia in 2 (20%), arthralgia in 2 (20%), headache in 1 (10%), back pain in 1 (10%), and a fall in 1 (10%). No grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent adverse events occurred. No clinical fractures were observed, and the absence of fracture was additionally confirmed on final computed tomography imaging. No patient discontinued Ra-223 because of an adverse event.

Outcome measures

The mean percent change in serum ALP from baseline was +4.9% at 1 month (95% CI, 0.0% to +10.0%; n=10; p=0.050), -1.5% at 3 months (95% CI, -7.7% to +5.0%; n=9; p=0.597), and -6.4% at approximately 6 months (95% CI, -17.5% to +6.2%; n=8; p=0.256). Eight of 10 patients (80%) completed all six Ra-223 injections. Conventional bone scintigraphy showed stable disease in 7 patients (70%) and progression in 3 (30%) according to PCWG3 criteria. Because of equipment failure, 18F-NaF PET was performed in only 2 patients and provided insufficient data for analysis. Median PSA change at approximately 6 months was +152.4% (IQR, +39.4% to +284.5%; n=8; p=0.0078). Median FACT-P total scores were 120.0 at screening and 119.6 at visit 3; the median change from baseline to the last on-treatment assessment was -3.8 (IQR, -9.8 to 1.0; n=10). Median BPI-SF pain-severity scores were 0.0 at screening, 1.3 at visit 3, and 0.7 at visit 6. No interpretable estimates were generated for overall survival, symptomatic skeletal event-free survival, time to chemotherapy initiation, or time to visceral metastasis.
