Purpose
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as goserelin and leuprolide, may stop the adrenal glands from making androgens. Giving docetaxel and leuprolide or goserelin before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. It is not yet known whether giving docetaxel and leuprolide or goserelin before surgery is more effective than surgery alone in treating patients with prostate cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying docetaxel and leuprolide or goserelin to see how well they work when given before surgery compared with surgery alone in treating patients with high-risk localized prostate cancer.

Experimental: Arm I
Patients receive goserelin subcutaneously or leuprolide acetate intramuscularly once every 4 or 12 weeks for 18-24 weeks (measured from the date of starting docetaxel). They also receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment with docetaxel repeats every 3 weeks for up to 6 courses. Within 60 days after completion of chemohormonal therapy, patients undergo radical prostatectomy with staging pelvic lymphadenectomy.

Detailed Description:
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Compare the rate of 3-year biochemical progression-free survival (bPFS) in patients with high-risk, clinically localized prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy with vs without neoadjuvant chemohormonal therapy comprising docetaxel and androgen-deprivation therapy with leuprolide acetate or goserelin.
Secondary
- Compare the 5-year bPFS rate, bPFS, disease progression, disease-free survival, and overall survival of patients treated with these regimens.
- Determine the safety and tolerability of neoadjuvant docetaxel and androgen-deprivation therapy in these patients.
- Compare the time to clinically apparent local disease recurrence and metastatic disease in patients treated with these regimens.
- Compare pathologic tumor stage, frequency of lymph node metastases, and positive margin rates in patients treated with these regimens.
- Determine if changes in serum testosterone levels will predict bPFS in these patients.
- Determine, prospectively, whether prostate-specific antigen doubling time is a surrogate endpoint for time to clinical metastases and overall survival in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, randomized study. Patients are stratified according to nomogram-predicted biochemical progression-free survival at 5 years (0-20.9% vs 21-39.9% vs 40-59.9% vs ≥ 60%) and androgen-deprivation therapy in the past 3 months (no vs yes). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive goserelin subcutaneously or leuprolide acetate intramuscularly once every 4 or 12 weeks for 18-24 weeks (measured from the date of starting docetaxel). They also receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment with docetaxel repeats every 3 weeks for up to 6 courses. Within 60 days after completion of chemohormonal therapy, patients undergo radical prostatectomy with staging pelvic lymphadenectomy.
- Arm II: Within 60 days after randomization, patients undergo radical prostatectomy with staging pelvic lymphadenectomy.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed at 1 and 3 months and then periodically for up to 15 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 750 patients will be accrued for this study.
