Docetaxel in Treating Patients With Relapsed Prostate Cancer

This study is currently recruiting patients.
Verified by National Cancer Institute (NCI) May 2007

Sponsors and Collaborators: Oregon Health and Science University
Information provided by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00482274

Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well docetaxel works in treating patients with relapsed prostate cancer.

Condition Intervention Phase
Prostate Cancer
 Drug: docetaxel
 Procedure: chemotherapy
Phase II

MedlinePlus  related topics:   Prostate Cancer

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Open Label

Official Title: Phase II Study of the Early Use of Docetaxel in Patients With Biochemical Relapse After Primary Therapy for Prostate Cancer and an Incomplete Response to Androgen Deprivation Therapy.

Further study details as provided by National Cancer Institute (NCI):
Primary Outcome Measures: 
  • Complete response rate as measured by serum PSA

Secondary Outcome Measures: 
  • Time to PSA recurrence as seen by 2 measurements performed a week apart
  • Time to metastatic disease
  • Time to androgen independent state
  • Time to death from any cause

Total Enrollment:  36

Study start: May 2007

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the complete response rate in patients with biochemically-relapsed, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer treated with docetaxel.

Secondary

  • Determine the time to PSA recurrence in patients receiving this treatment.
  • Determine the time to metastatic disease in patients receiving this treatment.
  • Determine the time to androgen independent state in patients receiving this treatment.
  • Determine the time to death from any cause in patients receiving this treatment.

OUTLINE: This is an open label study.

Patients receive docetaxel IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4-6 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically for up to 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 36 patients will be accrued for this study.

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:  18 Years and above,  Genders Eligible for Study:  Male
Criteria

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
  • Must have undergone prior primary therapy for prostate cancer, including radical prostatectomy, external beam radiation therapy, or brachytherapy
  • No evidence of metastases on bone scan or CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis
  • Serum testosterone < 50 ng/mL
  • Nadir serum PSA > 0.2 ng/dL after the initiation of androgen deprivation therapy

    • Nadir PSA must be confirmed by the presence of 2 or more subsequent PSA values that are at the same or higher level
    • At least 10% decrease in PSA (or no continued rise) in response to initial androgen-deprivation therapy

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

  • ECOG performance status 0-2
  • Life expectancy ≥ 3 months
  • Absolute granulocyte count ≥ 1,200/mm³
  • Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm³
  • Bilirubin normal
  • AST ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) if alkaline phosphatase is not normal
  • Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 5 times ULN if AST and ALT are not normal
  • Creatinine ≤ 2 times ULN
  • No other active malignancy within the past 5 years, except for adequately treated nonmelanoma skin cancer
  • No peripheral neuropathy ≥ grade 2

PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • More than 12 months since initiation of prior androgen-deprivation therapy
  • More than 28 days since prior corticosteroids except for inhaled or topical steroids

    • Stable doses of systemic corticosteroids allowed
  • More than 28 days since prior investigational agents
  • No prior docetaxel
