Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Received any other investigational therapeutic agents or other anticancer therapies within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to randomization. Note: If this requirement to have a washout of 2 weeks or 5 half-lives prior to randomization causes potential treatment delay due to Radium-223 importation timelines, the PCCTC must be contacted to request approval to randomize the subject prior to the completion of the washout. Requests for early randomization must be accompanied by written assurance by the site that the washout will be completed prior to treatment start.\n- Received external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) within the 2 weeks prior to randomization. Note: If prolonging randomization to complete EBRT washout causes potential treatment delay due to Radium-223 importation timelines, the PCCTC must be contacted to request approval to randomize the subject prior to the completion of the washout. Requests for early randomization must be accompanied by written assurance by the site that the washout will be completed prior to treatment start\n- Has an immediate need for EBRT.\n- Has received any other systemic investigational or anti-cancer radiopharmaceutical in the past\n- Has received any prostate cancer directed chemotherapy in the castration resistant setting\n- Has received > 6 prior doses of docetaxel in the castration sensitive setting. Subjects who have received up to 6 prior doses of docetaxel in the castration sensitive setting are permitted if they have not experienced disease progression within 36 weeks of last treatment with docetaxel\n- Has received four or more systemic anticancer regimens for mCRPC\n- Has known Grade ≥3 non-hematological docetaxel-related toxicities or docetaxel toxicity related dose interruption or discontinuation\n- Has received blood transfusions or growth factors within the last 4 weeks prior to randomization.\n- Symptomatic nodal disease (i.e., scrotal, penile, or leg edema)\n- Has visceral metastases with > 3 lung and/or liver metastases or individual lesion >2 cm, as assessed by CT scan or MRI of the chest/abdomen/pelvis within the last 8 weeks prior to randomization\n- Symptomatic loco-regional disease that causes ongoing Grade 3 or Grade 4 urinary or rectal symptoms\n- Subjects with a second malignancy with a risk of recurrence >30% within the next 3 years. Non-melanoma skin cancers, non-invasive bladder cancers, and other in-situ or non-invasive malignancies are permitted while on study\n- Has imminent or established cord compression based on clinical findings and/or MRI\n- Known bone marrow dysplasia\n- Has received any of the following in the 4 weeks prior to randomization: 5-alphareductase inhibitors, natural hormonally active foods (e.g., phytoestrogens) or other food supplements known to alter PSA in humans\n- Is receiving ongoing treatment with herbal medications that are known in humans to alter PSA or the natural history of prostate cancer. Subjects must discontinue any such herbal medications prior to the first dose of study drug\n- Any other serious illness or medical condition that would, in the opinion of the Investigator, make this protocol unreasonably hazardous, including but not limited to: • Uncontrolled infection • NYHA III or IV heart failure • Crohn’s disease or those with ulcerative colitis who have not undergone a colectomy • Known active infection with HIV, Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C"}

The QOLs will be administered at baseline, week 19, Safety Follow Up, and Follow Up visits every 3 months for 1 year from last dose of either study drug.
