Summary

This study tested a radioactive drug called radium-223 in 921 men with advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy and has spread to the bones. The goal was to see if it helps them live longer and controls the cancer. Participants received either the drug or a placebo, and the study measured survival and side effects.
