Trial Information

A Phase II Study of 9 Nitrocamptothecin for Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the therapeutic efficacy of nitrocamptothecin in patients with metastatic,
hormone refractory prostate cancer.

- Determine time to disease progression and duration of response in this patient
population as a result of this treatment regimen.

- Determine the safety, tolerance, and toxicity of this treatment regimen in these
patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive nitrocamptothecin orally daily for 5 consecutive days each week
for 3 consecutive weeks. Treatment continues every 4 weeks in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months until evidence of progression or relapse for a maximum
of 2 years from the date of registration.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 22-46 patients will be accrued for this study over 2 years.
