Prognostic role of inflammatory biomarkers from peripheral blood and clinical factors in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients (pts) treated with radium-223 (Ra-223) (BIO-Ra-223 study)
e17026 Background: Ra-223 is a treatment option for mCRPC pts with bone metastases according to the survival benefit observed compared to placebo in the ALSYMPCA trial. In the last years, many studies showed this benefit in the real-life pts is lower than that reported in the trial, probably due to a suboptimal selection of pts with poor prognostic characteristics. Therefore, the identification of prognostic factors to select mCRPC pts most likely to benefit from Ra-223 is needed. The multicentre retrospective BIO-Ra-223 study has investigated the prognostic role of peripheral blood immune cells and clinical factors to develop a novel prognostic score for mCRPC pts treated with Ra-223.
