Brief Summary

In this study data from people with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with bone metastasis are studied. mCRPC is a prostate cancer which has spread to other parts of the body even when the amount of testosterone in the body was reduced. Bone metastasis is when the cancer has spread to the bones. The study drug, radium-223, is currently available as a treatment for mCRPC with bone metastasis. But, its combination with certain other cancer treatments may lead to medical problems. Therefore the instructions about how doctors should use radium-223 with other cancer treatments were changed. In this study, the researchers want to learn more about how doctors are now using radium-223 to treat patients with mCRPC and bone metastasis. The participants in this study will include men in Denmark, Germany, or the Netherlands. They will not have received radium-223 before. They will have at least 6 months of medical records before starting treatment with radium-223. The researchers will collect the participants' medical records up to December 2020. The researchers will review information from the participants' medical records and medical claims from hospitals where the participants received radium-223. They will look at the medical records of participants who first started receiving radium-223 before there were new instructions about using it with other cancer treatments. They will also look at the medical records of participants who first started receiving radium-223 after there were new instructions. They will then count how many participants received other specific cancer treatments with radium-223. They will compare the results of the participants' who received radium-223 before the new instructions and those who received it after the new instructions. There are no required visits or tests in this study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• The proportion of patients who use radium-223 in combination with abiraterone acetate

  Data will be collected from Nov 2013 to Dec 2020

• The proportion of patients who use radium-223 in combination with other systemic therapies for mCRPC, except luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogues

  Data will be collected from Nov 2013 to Dec 2020

• The proportion of patients who use radium-223 without having received at least two prior lines of systemic therapy for mCRPC, except LHRH analogues

  Data will be collected from Nov 2013 to Dec 2020

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• The difference between before and after the label change periods in the proportion of patients who use radium-223 in combination with abiraterone acetate

  Data will be collected from Nov 2013 to Dec 2020

• The difference between before and after the label change periods in the proportion of patients who use radium-223 in combination with other systemic therapies for mCRPC, except luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogues

  Data will be collected from Nov 2013 to Dec 2020

• The difference between before and after the label change periods in the proportion of patients who use radium-223 without having received at least two prior lines of systemic therapy for mCRPC, except LHRH analogues

  Data will be collected from Nov 2013 to Dec 2020

Other Outcomes (1)

• Descriptive summary of patient characteristics

  Data will be collected from Nov 2013 to Dec 2020

Study Arms (1)

Radium-223

Subjects who received the treatment of radium-223 during the before or after label change study periods.

Drug: Radium 223 dichloride (Xofigo, BAY88-8223)

Interventions

Radium 223 dichloride (Xofigo, BAY88-8223) DRUG

Prescribed by physicians.

Radium-223

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: male
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study population will include new users of radium-223 during the study periods captured in each data source. The study period will include time periods before and after the label change. The "before" period will start in November 2013, the month of radium-223 approval, and will end the in November 2017, the month when the first Direct Healthcare Professional Communication (DHCP) letter was sent. The "after" period will include an enrolment phase during which patients initiating radium-223 in each data source will be identified. The enrolment phase will last at least 1 year, starting in April 2019 (6 months after the label change), and will continue through a follow up phase of at least 6 months after the last new user of radium-223 is identified.

You may qualify if:

• Patients who receive a first dispensing/administration of radium-223 during the before or after study period
• Patients who have at least 6 months of continuous enrolment in the study databases before the first dispensing/administration of radium-223 (to allow for evaluation of recent medical history and medication use)

You may not qualify if:

• Patients who used radium-223 ever before the start of the before study period
