Docetaxel Followed by Radical Prostatectomy in Patients With High Risk Localized Prostate Cancer
NCT01250717Jan 2001 to May 2011
Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if the combination of chemotherapy and hormone therapy is safe and helpful for patients who plan to have their high-risk prostate cancer surgically removed. Some physicians believe that patients with high risk cancer that is located in one area, may have an early but small spread of the cancer outside of the prostate, and perhaps even to distant organs. Therefore, better treatments for the entire body are needed to improve the ability of surgery or other local therapies to cure prostate cancer. Since chemotherapy is beginning to demonstrate increasing activity in advanced prostate cancer patients, it is possible that using chemotherapy combined with hormonal therapy earlier in the course of localized but high risk patients might improve the outcomes for these patients.

Pathologic Complete Response Was Assessed by Rigorous Pathological Examination by One of Two Pathologists
Time frame · status post prostectomy
One of two pathologists (SR, EG), assigned the Gleason scores for each patient from pre-treatment prostate biopsies and assessed pathological staging on post- prostatectomy specimens. Staging including a description of all tumor foci within the gland, presence or absence of perineural invasion and/or lymphovascular invasion, presence of extraprostatic extension of tumor (including seminal vesicle invasion), and margin status. The pathologists reviewed the presence or absence of cancer in each prostate gland removed on the study patients. RECIST has to my knowledge not been used for pathological examination in neoadjuvant studies. 0 out of 28 participants acheived complete response. RECIST is not appropriate as cancer within the gland at the time of treatment is not measurable by RECIST. The primary outcome is a pathological complete response.

| Docetaxel Followed by Radical ProstatectomyThis is a single arm study and there were no arms other than the one arm. All participants were treated according to the regimen below. Docetaxel Followed by Radical Prostatectomy Radical Prostatectomy : after the chemo and hormonal therapy all patients have a radical prostatectomy Zoladex : Given subcutaneously for 4 doses every three months Casodex : Taken orally once a day for 6 months Estramustine : Taken orally three times a day for 5 days for the first part of every three week cycle Docetaxel : Given by an IV infusion over 1 hour on day 2 of a three-week cycle Dexamethasone : Orally 12 hours and 1 hour before docetaxel and again 12 hours after docetaxel | – | 5 / 28 | 0 / 28 |
