English to Italian Medical Medical (general) carcinoma prostatico

Whilst the exact extent of use of radium-223 in combination with abiraterone acetate and prednisolone/prednisone in clinical practice is not known, interim data from an observational study (REASSURE) reported that 5% of patients were treated with this combination. In view of the seriousness of these results, the fact that they were observed in a patient population with earlier disease characteristics but partly overlapping with that described in the authorised indication, and considering that the mechanism behind the events observed remain largely unexplained at this stage, the PRAC considered that, as a provisional measure, the use of radium-223 in combination with abiraterone acetate and prednisone/prednisolone should be contraindicated. Healthcare professionals should be informed of the increased incidence of fractures and deaths among patients receiving Xofigo in combination with abiraterone acetate and prednisone/prednisolone compared to patients receiving placebo in combination with abiraterone acetate and prednisone/prednisolone in Study ERA-223, and of the reduced incidence of fractures observed in both treatment arms with concurrent use of bisphosphonates or ** denosumab bone health agents **.
