Radium Ra 223 Dichloride and Niraparib in Treating Patients with Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Metastatic to the Bone

Trial Status: complete

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of niraparib when given together with radium Ra223 dichloride in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread from the primary site to the bone. Radium Ra 223 dichloride, acts like calcium to target cancer in the bones and may deliver radiation directly to the bone tumors, limiting damage to the surrounding normal tissue. Niraparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving radium Ra 223 dichloride and niraparib may work better in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer metastatic to the bone.
