The FDA approved radium RA 223 dichloride for the treatment of symptomatic metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to the bones but not to any other organs.
The Trials in Progress series is intended to stimulate discussion about ongoing clinical trials, to promote collaboration across the oncology community.
A small study found that microwave ablation therapy reduced pain associated with bone and soft tissues by half in the majority of patients treated with the technique.
Radium Ra 223 Dichloride will be considered as a treatment for patients who have castration-resistant prostate cancer with bone metastases under the FDA’s priority review program.
