About

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. CT-2584 may stop the growth of prostate cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of CT-2584 in treating patients who have metastatic prostate cancer that has not responded to previous therapy.

Full description

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of 2 different treatment schedules of CT-2584 in patients with hormone refractory, metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms: Arm I: Patients receive CT-2584 IV over 6 hours daily for 3 days every 3 weeks. Arm II: Patients receive CT-2584 IV over 6 hours once every 7 days for 3 weeks. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 80 patients will be accrued for this study.

Enrollment: 80 estimated patients

Sex: Male

Ages: 18 to 120 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: Histologically proven metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate Refractory to hormonal therapy Failed at least 1 nonhormonal therapy (prior radiotherapy allowed, but does not constitute nonhormonal therapy) No CNS metastases

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS: Age: 18 and over Performance status: 60-100% Life expectancy: Not specified Hematopoietic: No known or suspected red blood cell disorder (e.g., hereditary spherocytosis, paroxysmal nocturnal hematuria, sickle cell trait, autoimmune hemolytic disorder) Hepatic: Bilirubin no greater than 1.5 mg/dL No severe liver dysfunction, particularly, no impaired hepatic synthetic functions as evidenced by prolonged prothrombin time or otherwise unexplained serum albumin less than 3 g/dL Renal: Creatinine no greater than 1.5 mg/dL Cardiovascular: No evidence of congestive heart failure No clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia No prior or concurrent symptoms of acute coronary artery disease No significant cardiac valve disease (e.g., aortic stenosis, valve prosthesis) Pulmonary: No prior asthma during adulthood that required therapy Other: No prior seizures or drug related anaphylactic reactions No history of microangiopathy (e.g., cavenous hemangioma, prior thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura)
