Docetaxel With Rapid Hormonal Cycling As A Treatment For Patients With Prostate Cancer
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the efficacy of rapid hormonal cycling with testosterone and leuprolide in
combination with docetaxel, in terms of obtaining a durable decline in
prostate-specific antigen level or reduction of abnormal sites of disease, in patients
with recurrent or non-castrate metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
Secondary
- Determine the safety of this regimen in these patients.
- Determine the antitumor effects and changes in measurable disease in patients treated
with this regimen.
- Determine the affects of testosterone administration on CYP3A activity and docetaxel
pharmacokinetics in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to clinical state
(rising prostate-specific antigen vs non-castrate metastatic disease).
Patients receive leuprolide intramuscularly and docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 and
testosterone gel topically on days 22-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses* in
the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
NOTE: *Testosterone gel is applied only during courses 1-5.
Patients are followed monthly for 1 year and then every 3 months thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 76 patients (38 per stratum) will be accrued for this study
within approximately 2 years.
