EVALUATE YOUR TREATMENT ALONGSIDE YOUR CARE TEAM 5 PSA* levels can change while taking Xofigo (radium Ra 223 dichloride). • If PSA does not change, it does not mean Xofigo is not working to fight cancer cells.
• PSA is not a biomarker for Xofigo therapy effectiveness. • Ask your doctor what to expect while on treatment.
*PSA=prostate-specific antigen.
XOFIGO CAN HELP YOU LIVE LIFE LONGER. Xofigo was studied in a clinical trial with 921 men with mCRPC. The Xofigo-treated men lived 14.9 months while the placebo-treated men lived 11.3 months, in an updated analysis. Xofigo treats symptomatic prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormonal or surgical treatment that lowers testosterone and whose cancer has spread to the bone but not other parts of the body.
