Neoadjuvant Docetaxel on Newly Diagnosed Intermediate and High Grade Cancer of the Prostate (2007-5904)
This study has been terminated.
( Halted due to lack of funding )

First Received on January 10, 2008.   Last Updated on August 15, 2011   History of Changes
Sponsor: University of California, Irvine
Information provided by: University of California, Irvine
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00598858
  Purpose

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the response to docetaxel in patients with stage I/II prostate cancer, who are scheduled for prostatectomy.

Patients will receive docetaxel (75 mg/m2) every 21 days plus prednisone 5mg twice a day for a total of 3 cycles. Patients will be treated for approximately two months. At a baseline visit, patients will have endorectal MRI, digital rectal examination, complete chemistries, pathological diagnosis, and serum testosterone and prostate-specific antigen level measurements.

Patients will be seen every three week for assessment of toxicity, physical examination, and complete blood count. Once a month, patients will have repeat digital rectal examination, complete chemistries, and serum testosterone and prostate-specific antigen level measurements. After 3 cycles of chemotherapy, patients will be reevaluated with endorectal MRI and serum PSA and then be proceeded to radical prostatectomy.
