E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Pathological finding consistent with small cell, neuroendocrine carcinoma of the prostate, or any other histology different than adenocarcinoma.
2. Diffuse bone-marrow involvement (i.e. “superscan” defined as bone scintigraphy in which there is excessive skeletal radioisotope uptake [>20 bone lesions] in relation to soft tissues along with absent or faint activity in the genitourinary tract due to diffuse bone/ bone marrow metastases).
3. Prior exposure to radioligand therapy, radioisotope therapy (e.g. 89Sr), systemic radiotherapy, or 223Ra-therapy.

• Congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] II, III, IV)
• Mean resting corrected QT interval (QTc) >450 millisecond (msec), obtained from 3 ECGs recordings, using the screening clinic ECG machine-derived QTc value.
• Any clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction, or morphology of resting ECG (e.g., complete left bundle branch block, third-degree heart block, second-degree heart block, PR interval >250 msec).
• Any factor increasing the risk of QTc prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events such as heart failure, hypokalemia, congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome, or unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age in first-degree relatives, or any concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval.
8. Other known co-existing malignancies except non-melanoma skin or low grade superficial bladder cancer unless definitively treated and proven no evidence of recurrence for 5 years.
9. History of deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism within 4 weeks of enrollment.
10. Known incompatibility to CT or PET scans.
11. Any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic or psychiatric diseases, including uncontrolled hypertension and active bleeding diatheses, which in the Investigator’s opinion makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial or which would jeopardize compliance with the protocol
12. Active infection including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and untreated hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Screening for chronic conditions is not required.
13. Patients who have received any investigational agent within the last 28 days.
14. Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to the IP or its excipients
15. Known history of myelodysplastic syndrome/leukemia at any time
