FDA approves Bayer radium-223 chloride expanded access program

PBR Staff Writer Published 03 February 2012

Bayer HealthCare has received the US Food and Drug Administration approval to proceed with its expanded access program for the investigational drug radium-223 chloride.

Expanded access refers to the use of an investigational drug, under certain circumstances, to treat patients with a serious disease or condition who cannot participate in a controlled clinical trial.

Radium-223 chloride is the investigational drug developed for patients diagnosed with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)/hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) with symptomatic bone metastases.

Radium-223 chloride will be made available to patients through qualified clinical sites participating in this program, the company said.
