↵* Most severe grade of toxicity occurring within 90 d of preceding 223RaCl2 administration was recorded.
↵† Reported as numbers of patients, with percentages in parentheses.
↵‡ Early discontinuation of therapy (<6 cycles) registered as being due to hematologic toxicity. Reported as numbers of patients with toxicity, with percentages in parentheses. Percentages were calculated from total frequency of given grade of toxicity.
