Summary of 223Ra Phase 2/3 efficacy and safety data

Name Phase Method Number Outcomes
BC-10231 2 –Four injections 223Ra of 50 kBq kg−1 (or placebo) at 4-week intervals
vs placebo
N = 33 223Ra
N = 31 placebo
–Significant delay in PSA progression and fall in ALP in the 223Ra group
–Tendency towards reduced rate of skeletal-related event and improved survival in 223Ra group
–Well tolerated
BC-10329 2 –Single injection 223Ra
5, 25, 50 or 100 kBq kg−1
N = 26 at 5 kBq kg−1
N = 25 at 25 kBq kg−1
N = 25 at 50 kBq kg−1
N = 24 at 100 kBq kg−1
–Dose-dependent improvement in pain
–Well tolerated all dose levels
BC-10430 2 –Three injections 223Ra per subject at 6-week intervals
–Either 25, 50 or 80 kBq kg−1 (no dose escalation within groups)
N = 37 at 25 kBq kg−1
N = 36 at 50 kBq kg−1
N = 39 at 80 kBq kg−1
(These N are those treated per protocol and analysed in efficacy calculations. In each group, respectively, 4, 3 and 3 additional patients received 1 or 2 injections and are analysed as part of the safety population.)
–Dose-dependent fall in PSA and ALP
–Well tolerated all dose levels
ALSYMPCA5 3 –Six injections of 223Ra of 50 kBq kg−1 (or placebo) at 4-week intervals
vs placebo
–Plus best standard of care
N = 614 223Ra
N = 307 placebo
223Ra associated with significant improvement in overall survival (14.9 vs 11.3 months p < 0.001)
223Ra associated with significant delay to first symptomatic skeletal event (15.6 vs 9.8 months p < 0.001)
–Number of patients experiencing adverse events lower in 223Ra group (all grades)
–Signal to increased (low-grade) diarrhoea in 223Ra group
–Signal to increased (low-grade) myelosuppression in 223Ra group

ALP, alkaline phosphatase; PSA, prostate-specific antigen.
