PEACE III

About this trial

These two drugs are already used to treat patients with prostate cancer.
Xofigo® contains the radioactive substance radium-223 which mimics the calcium found in bones. When injected into a patient, radium-223 reaches the bone where the cancer has spread to and emits short-range radiation (alpha particles) which kills the surrounding tumor cells.
Xtandi® is an antiandrogen cancer medicine. It works by blocking the effects of androgen (a male hormone) to stop the growth of prostate cancer cells.
Participants will be split into two groups. Each group will receive a different treatment. The treatment each group receives is determined by chance using a computer program.
In group 1 patient will receive Xofigo® combined with Xtandi® which is considered the ‘experimental’ treatment. In group 2 patient will receive Xtandi® alone.
