Alpharadin og prostatakreft med spredning til skjelett

Alpharadin and prostate cancer with skeletal metastases

 Bone scintigPrimitive bone matrix (“target for Alpharadin”) produced and present throughout the entire metastasis – Spiral CT-image; A coronal section
The nature of sclerotic/osteoblastic bone metastases and the microdistribution of primitive bone matrix; i.e. the target for Radium-223 (Alpharadin), is a prerequisite for the therapeutic effect.

Prostatakreft med spredning til skjelett


Radium-223 (Alpharadin) er i fase-3 klinisk utprøving hos pasienter med hormonresistent prostatakreft og symptomer fra spredning til skjelettet.

Her finner du, som pdf-dokument (klikk her), det foredraget jeg holdt under PROFO - Oslo & Akershus, "Prostatakreftforeningen", sitt årsmøte i Oslo 4/3-09.

For ytterligere informasjon om PROFO, se deres webside: www.prostatakreft.no

Algeta heter det norske firma som står bak utprøvingen, og på deres webside www.algeta.com finnes det detaljert informasjon om denne fase-3 studien under menyknappen "Alsympca" i venstre kolonne.

Prostate cancer with skeletal metastases.

This presentation, made by Algeta ASA (see www.algeta.com), presents important aspects on the efficacy and safety of Alpharadin.

Also it provides an introduction to put this novel bone-seeking targeted therapy based on alpha-paticle emitting Radium-223 in a comparative context; i.e. to the two other radiopharmaceuticels approved to releive pain and to the cytostatic drug Taxotere.
