| Main Objective: The primary objective is to compare time-to-progression (TTP) of 153Sm-EDTMP and Docetaxel + Prednisone (Arm 1) to Docetaxel + Prednisone (Arm 2).;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are comparison between the treatment arms of:  Tumor response  Overall survival  Quality of life  Pain assessment  Safety;Primary end point(s): Time-to-progression is the time from the first study drug administration until documented disease progression. | — |
