180 Background: Radium-223 (RA-223) is the first FDA approved targeted alpha therapy that significantly improves overall survival (OS) in patients (pts) with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with symptomatic bone metastases. There is limited real world data describing RA-223 current use. Methods: A retrospective patient chart review was done of men who received at least 1 cycle of Ra-223 for mCRPC in 10 centers throughout the US (4 academic, 6 private practices). All pts had a minimum follow-up of 4 months, or placed in hospice or death. Descriptive analyses for clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes were performed. Results: Among the 200 pts (mean age-73.6 years, mean Charlson comorbidity index-6.9) RA-223 was initiated on average 1.6 years from mCRPC diagnosis (first line use (1L)=38.5%, 2L=31.5% and ≥3L=30%). 78% completed 5-6 cycles of RA-223 with mean therapy duration of 4.2 months. Among all pts, 43% received RA-223 as monotherapy (no overlap with other mCRPC therapies) while 57% had combination therapy with either abiraterone or enzalutamide. Median OS following RA-223 initiation was 21.2 months (95% CI 19.6- 29.2). Table provides the RA-223 utilization by type of clinical practice. Conclusions: Utilization of RA-223 in this real world data set was distinct from clinical trial data. Most patients received RA-223 in combination with abiraterone or enzalutamide, therapies that were unavailable when the pilot trial was conducted. Median survival was 21.2 months. Real world use of RA-223 has evolved as newer agents have become FDA approved in bone-metastatic CRPC. Academic and community patterns of practice were more similar than distinct. [Table: see text]
