Background: Radium 223 (Ra-223) has been successfully utilised in the trial setting for the treatment of men with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). To date, no real world outcomes from its use in the Irish population have been described. Methods: From September 2016 to March 2019, data from men referred for Ra-223 treatment at our institution was retrospectively collected. We recorded patient characteristics, treatments received and outcomes. Overall Survival (OS) was analysed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: 81 men were referred for Ra 223. Complete data was available for 56 men. Median age was 75. 79%(45/56) had over 6 bone metastases and 21%(12/56) had lymph node involvement. The median number of prior systemic treatments for mCRPC was 2. 84%(47/56) of patients were previously treated with Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT); 48%(27/56) Abiraterone, 36%(20/56) Docetaxel, 45%(25/56) Enzalutamide and 9%(5/56) Cabazitaxel. All patients were receiving bone protection agents; 57%(32/56) Zolendronic acid and 43%(24/56) Denosumab. Median ECOG was 1 at the start of treatment and 2 at completion. The median number of treatments received was 4 with 36%(20/56) completing all 6 treatments. The most common toxicity seen was grade1 fatigue occurring in10% (6/56). 17% (10/56) required a blood transfusion during their treatment course. 53%(30/56) required opioid analgesia prior to Ra 223 treatment. 76% of these men (22/30) described improved pain following Rad-223. At a median follow up of 13 months,41%(23/56) were alive. The median OS for the entire group was 7 months. Factors associated with improved OS included ECOG 0-1,fewer than 6 bone metastases, normal alkaline phosphatase level at start of treatment and no prior chemotherapy use. Median OS for those who had not received prior chemotherapy was significantly better than those who had (9 vs 5 months p=0.04). Conclusions: This real world study demonstrates Ra 223 is a well tolerated palliative treatment amongst Irish men with mCRPC. Good performance status, lower alkaline phosphatase, chemotherapy naivety and a low burden of metastatic disease are factors associated with an improved overall survival.
