Experimental
Active Comparator
Radium-223 dichloride (Xofigo, BAY88-8223) + docetaxel
Docetaxel
Alpharadin (Radium-223 dichloride) is administered intravenously as a bolus injection. In the randomized phase IIa part of the protocol, the dose established in the dose-escalation part of the protocol (Phase I) will be used, i.e. 5 doses of 50 kBq/kg b.w. every 6 weeks in combination with the approved step-down dose of docetaxel (60 mg/m^2) administered intravenously every 3 weeks with 5 mg prednisone twice a day continuously and pre-medication with dexamethasone.
Docetaxel (75 mg/m2) will be administered intravenously every 3 weeks with 5 mg prednisone twice a day continuously and pre-medication with dexamethasone. Step-down to 60 mg/m^2 is allowed as per the approved docetaxel label.
