Algeta starts enrolling US patients in Ph III Alpharadin trial

9 February 2009

Norwegian drugmaker Algeta ASA has started enrolling US patients into its ALSYMPCA Phase III trial evaluating Alpharadin (radium-223) as a new  treatment for bone metastases in patients with hormone-refractory  prostate cancer.

The move follows a successful end-of-Phase II meeting with the US Food  and Drug Administration on 30 January 2009.

Algeta began enrolling patients for its global phase III ALSYMPCA study  in June 2008 and aims to enroll approximately 750 HRPC patients with  bone metastases. Recruitment of US patients into the study is now  planned to commence this year.
