Allocation: NA | Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Enrollment: 36
Healthy volunteers: no

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.

Arms:
arm 1: All subjects receive concurrent administration of Radium Ra223 Dichloride and Abiraterone Acetate plus Prednisone

Interventions: intervention 1: Concurrent use of Radium Ra 223 dichloride and Abiraterone Acetate plus Prednisone
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: 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.
