Trial Information

Phase II Trial of Capecitabine (Xeloda) and Weekly Docetaxel (Taxotere) in Metastatic Androgen Independent Prostate Carcinoma


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the response rate in patients with androgen-independent metastatic
adenocarcinoma of the prostate treated with capecitabine and docetaxel.

Secondary

- Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

- Determine the progression-free survival, time to treatment failure, and overall
survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive docetaxel IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 and oral capecitabine
twice daily on days 5-18. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression
or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a complete response (CR) receive 2 additional
courses of therapy beyond CR

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for survival.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 28 patients will be accrued for this study.
