Study Summary

This study will examine biomarkers involved in osteomimicry in bone metastases and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) of men with mCRPC before and during therapy with the bone-targeting radiopharmaceutical radium-223. This study will also examine the bio-distribution of radium-223 in bone and bone metastases of men with mCRPC. The investigators hypothesize that bone metastases and CTCs in men with mCRPC will commonly express markers of EMT/plasticity and osteomimicry, not just in the normal surrounding osteoblastic stroma but in the epithelial tumor cells themselves and that radium-223 will target both of these compartments including the more mesenchymal/osteoblastic tumor cells and the surrounding osteoblasts in the active bone microenvironment, with a relative sparing of normal bone and bone marrow.

Primary Outcome

The proportion of patients who over-express ALP in the CTCs, defined as any over-expression, will be estimated using descriptive statistics at each time point. ALP expression will be concurrently examined in the bone metastatic biopsies of men as well, if evaluable tissue is available.
