Scientists test Two-Pronged attack on spreading prostate cancer

NCT ID NCT03737370

Summary

This early-stage study tested the safety of combining two existing cancer treatments—a chemotherapy drug (docetaxel) and a bone-targeting radiation drug (radium-223)—for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread to the bones and stopped responding to standard hormone therapy. The main goal was to find the safest dose of this combination and see what side effects occurred. The study also looked at whether the treatment could help control the cancer and improve patients' quality of life.
