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.
