Drug Overview
Xofigo (radium-223; Bayer) is a radioisotope that kills tumor cells with highly localized short-range alpha irradiation. The drug acts as a calcium mimic and is taken up in the areas of increased bone metabolism, which are associated with bone metastases. Xofigo has a long enough half-life of 11.43 days from synthesis for manufacturing and distribution, but the serum half-life of Xofigo is short, with around 0.5% remaining in the blood after 24 hours.
