Abstract
Several treatment options are currently available for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in routine clinical practice. However, clear standards of sequential use of registered drugs have not yet been developed. Affecting bone metastases, radium-223 is one of therapeutic options for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer and bone metastases, which was included in foreign and Russian guidelines for prostate cancer management. This article analyzes the results of treatment with radium-223 in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in foreign non-interventional clinical trials conducted in routine clinical practice. These trials confirmed high efficacy and safety of radium-223 demonstrated earlier in the ALSYMPCA trial. Some protocols ensured better overall survival rates and lower incidence of symptomatic skeletal events and adverse events than those in the registration study.
