- Progression-free survival [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Time to progression in men who have oligometastatic prostate cancer after therapy. Progression is defined by PCWG2 criteria as follows: >=25% increase in PSA from nadir (and by >=2ng/mL), and/or clinical/radiographic progression (clinical progression = symptomatic progression, worsening of disease-related symptoms or new cancer-related complications; radiographic progression on CT scan defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria: >=20% enlargement in sum diameter of soft-tissue target lesions; or on bone scan >=1 new bone lesions), initiation of ADT or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Toxicity as assessed by number of participants who experience adverse events [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Number of participants who receive at least one fraction of SABR and Radium-223 who experience adverse events as defined by CTCAE v4.0 after first treatment of SABR and Radium-223.
- Local control at 12 months [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Time from starting treatment until local relapse is documented
- Time to locoregional progression [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Time from starting treatment until local and/or regional relapse is documented
- Time to distant progression [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Time from starting treatment until distant relapse is documented
- Time to new metastasis [ Time Frame: 12 months ]time from starting treatment to the time of a new documented tumor metastasis by CT and/or bone scan. Subjects who do not progress will be censored at the time of the last contact.
- ADT-free survival [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Time from randomization until initiation of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT).
- Quality of Life as assessed by Pain Severity and Pain Interference using the Brief Pain Inventory [ Time Frame: 12 months ]The brief pain inventory assesses the severity of pain, location of pain, amount of pain over the last 24 hours, and impact of pain on daily functions. Scores for the 4 pain severity items and 7 pain interference items range from 0-10, where 10 is the worst pain or pain that completely interferes with described activity and 0 is the least pain or does not interfere with described activity. The mean of these scores is used to measure pain severity and pain interference.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 100 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Male |
Gender Based Eligibility: | Yes |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient must have at least one and up to three asymptomatic metastatic tumor(s) of the bone or soft tissue (with at least one bone metastasis) develop within the past 6-months that are ≤ 5.0 cm or <250 cm3
- Patient must have had their primary tumor treated with surgery and/or radiation.
- Histologic confirmation of malignancy (primary or metastatic tumor).
- PSADT <15 months. PSA doubling time (PSADT) will be calculated using as many PSA values that are available from time of relapse (PSA > 0.2). To calculate PSADT, the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Prostate Cancer Prediction Tool will be used. It can be found at the following web site: https://www.mskcc.org/nomograms/prostate/psa-doubling-time.
- Patient may have had prior systemic therapy and/or ADT associated with treatment of their primary prostate cancer. Patient may have had ADT associated with salvage radiation therapy (to the primary prostate cancer or pelvis is allowed).
- PSA > 0.5 but <50.
- Testosterone > 125 ng/dL.
- Patient must be ≥ 18 years of age.
- Patient must have a life expectancy ≥ 12 months.
- Patient must have an ECOG performance status ≤ 2.
- Patient must have normal organ and marrow function as defined as:
Before the first administration of Xofigo, the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) should be ≥ 1.5 x 109/L, the platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L and hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL.
* Patient must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
Exclusion Criteria:
- No more than 3 years of ADT is allowed, with the most recent ADT treatment having occurred greater than 6 months prior to enrollment.
- PSMA-PET/MRI or PSMA-PET/CT scan within the past 6 months with results that demonstrate more disease lesions than baseline CT/Bone Scan
- Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
- Spinal cord compression or impending spinal cord compression.
- Suspected pulmonary and/or liver metastases (greater >10 mm in largest axis).
- Patient receiving any other investigational agents.
- Patient receiving abiraterone and prednisone.
- Patient is participating in a concurrent treatment protocol.
- Serum creatinine > 3 times the upper limit of normal.
- Total bilirubin > 3 times the upper limit of normal.
- Liver Transaminases > 5-times the upper limit of normal.
- Unable to lie flat during or tolerate PET/MRI, PET/CT or SBRT.
- Prior salvage treatment to the primary prostate cancer or pelvis is allowed.
- Refusal to sign informed consent.
