  • Eligibility: click to view information

    1. Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed prostate cancer with EXTENSIVE metastatic disease and have been on androgen deprivation therapy for less than 90 days. Hormonal therapy must not have commenced more than 90 days prior to randomization. Rarely pathology is not available and if clinical situation confirms prostate cancer (such as response to androgen ablation) pathology is not required and patient can be enrolled after discussed with study chair.

    2. Definition of extensive disease: Metastases involving at least one lesion in any bony structure beyond the vertebral column and pelvic bone or any involvement with viscera. In the absence of visceral lesions, there must be 4 or more bone lesions. Patients with disease limited to vertebral column and/or pelvis alone with or without lymph node or lymph node only disease involvement are not eligible for this trial. NOTE: Radiological studies identifying measurable or non-measurable disease must be obtained within 6 weeks (42 days) of starting androgen deprivation therapy (note: this is not protocol therapy).

    3. Patients are not eligible if the PSA has risen greater than 50% from its lowest point since the beginning of androgen deprivation therapy to the registration for protocol therapy.

    4. Patients must have adequate organ function within 4 weeks prior to randomization and evidenced by: Absolute Neutrophil Count > 1500/mm3, Platelet count > 100,000/mm3, Total bilirubin < ULN, ALT < 2.0 X upper limit of normal,

    Creatinine clearance of > 30 mL/min. Creatinine clearance (CrCl) should be

    calculated at screening using the Cockcroft-Gault formula:

    Creatinine clearance for males (mL/min) = (140- age)(body weight in kg)/[72

    x(serum creatinine in mg/dl, PT, INR < 1.5 X upper limit of normal (except if on therapeutic anti-coagulation), PTT < 1.5 X upper limit of normal (except if on therapeutic anti-coagulation), NOTE: All values must be obtained within 4 weeks prior to beginning protocol therapy.

    5. If a patient has had major surgery, the patient must be longer than 4 weeks post major surgery and recovered from all toxicity prior to beginning protocol therapy.

Patients must have discontinued hormonal therapy in the adjuvant and/or neoadjuvant setting 12 months prior to beginning protocol therapy, AND must not have exceeded 24 months of therapy AND have shown to have no evidence of disease (PSA < 0.1 ng/dL after prostatectomy plus hormonal therapy and < 0.5 ng/dL and not have doubled above nadir after radiation therapy plus hormonal therapy) at least 12 months after completing adjuvant or neoadjuvant hormonal therapy. Patients with prior chemotherapy in the adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting are ineligible. The last depot injection must have expired by the time the 24 month mark was reached. (e.g., patient completed 24 months of adjuvant therapy with 8 three month depot LHRH agonists injections ? last dose given 8/03 ? 24 months completed 11/03. Patient is eligible if no evidence of disease at this time and commenced hormonal therapy for metastatic disease on or after 11/05).
