PEACE-3 (EORTC-1333; NCT02194842) is a Phase 3 trial of radium-223 (Xofigo) added to enzalutamide (Xtandi) versus enzalutamide alone in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with bone metastases. Adding radium-223 improved radiographic progression-free survival (HR 0.69; p=0.0009) and overall survival (HR 0.76; p=0.0096; 5.6-month median gain), with mandatory bone-protective agents preventing prior fracture concerns. The combination is investigational. Sponsor: EORTC.

rPFS (primary) — Radiographic progression-free survival HR 0.69 (95% CI 0.54-0.87; p=0.0009) favoring the radium-223 + enzalutamide combination. (ESMO 2024)
Overall survival — Final OS HR 0.76 (95% CI 0.60-0.96; p=0.0096); median gain 5.6 months; median follow-up 58 months; 317 deaths — first Phase 3 OS benefit for radium-223 plus an androgen-receptor pathway inhibitor. (ESMO 2024 / ASCO GU 2026)
Safety — Grade >=3 treatment-emergent AEs 69.3% vs 57.6%; Grade >=3 treatment-related AEs 28.9% vs 18.8%; most frequent Grade >=3 event hypertension. (ESMO 2024)
Fracture safety — Mandatory bone-protective agents (denosumab or zoledronic acid) prevented the fracture excess seen in the earlier ERA-223 trial. (ESMO 2024)

First phase 3 to demonstrate OS benefit combining radium-223 with a next-generation androgen receptor pathway inhibitor in mCRPC with bone mets. 5.6-month median OS improvement. Key caveat: mandatory bone-protective agents prevented the fracture excess seen in prior ERA-223 trial.
rPFS HR 0.69 (95% CI 0.54-0.87, P=0.0009) favoring enzalutamide + radium-223 over enzalutamide alone. First phase 3 combining radium-223 with a next-generation androgen receptor pathway inhibitor in mCRPC with bone metastases.
Final overall survival: HR 0.76 (95% CI 0.60-0.96, P=0.0096). Median OS benefit of 5.6 months with the combination. Median follow-up 58 months; 317 deaths at final analysis.
Grade ≥3 TEAEs: 69.3% with combination vs. 57.6% with enzalutamide alone. Grade ≥3 TRAEs: 28.9% vs. 18.8%. Most frequent G≥3 AE was hypertension. Mandatory bone-protective agents (denosumab / zoledronic acid) prevented the fracture excess seen in prior ERA-223 trial.
✅ Practice-informing OS benefit in mCRPC with bone mets. First phase 3 to demonstrate OS benefit combining radium-223 with a next-generation androgen receptor pathway inhibitor in mCRPC with bone mets. 5.6-month median OS improvement. Key caveat: mandatory bone-protective agents prevented the fracture excess seen in prior ERA-223 trial.
PEACE-3 (EORTC-1333; NCT02194842) is a Phase 3, randomized trial evaluating the alpha-emitting radiopharmaceutical radium-223 (Xofigo) combined with the androgen-receptor pathway inhibitor enzalutamide (Xtandi) versus enzalutamide alone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and bone metastases. It was run by the EORTC, with Bayer and Astellas.
Adding radium-223 to enzalutamide improved radiographic progression-free survival (HR 0.69; p=0.0009) and overall survival (HR 0.76; p=0.0096), with a median overall-survival gain of 5.6 months at a median follow-up of 58 months. PEACE-3 is the first Phase 3 trial to show an overall-survival benefit from combining radium-223 with a next-generation androgen-receptor pathway inhibitor.
No. The specific radium-223 (Xofigo) plus enzalutamide (Xtandi) combination studied in PEACE-3 is investigational and not an FDA-approved regimen. Radium-223 is separately approved for castration-resistant prostate cancer with symptomatic bone metastases and no visceral disease, and enzalutamide is separately approved across prostate cancer settings, but the combination is not.
An earlier trial (ERA-223) combining radium-223 with abiraterone showed an excess of fractures. PEACE-3 made bone-protective agents (denosumab or zoledronic acid) mandatory, which prevented that fracture excess — an important design lesson that allowed the survival benefit of the radium-223 combination to be realized safely.
Grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in about 69.3% of combination patients versus 57.6% with enzalutamide alone, and Grade 3 or higher treatment-related events in 28.9% versus 18.8%. The most frequent Grade 3 or higher event was hypertension. With mandatory bone-protective agents, the fracture excess seen in prior radium-223 combination trials was avoided.
