About
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of Samarium-153 when given in combination with hormonal and external beam radiation therapy in men with high risk prostate cancer.
Full description
The likelihood of prostate cancer cells metastasizing to bone has an early and important influence on the natural history of prostate cancer. Bone-targeted therapy, when given sequentially with hormonal therapy (androgen suppression) and radiation therapy, prolongs the progression of the disease in clinically non-metastatic prostate cancer patients.
The use of Samarium-153 EDTMP in conjunction with hormonal therapy and external beam radiation therapy has never been previously evaluated in high risk clinically localized prostate cancer. Many patients with high-risk prostate cancer develop progressive disease within 2 years of therapy indicating that subclinical metastatic disease may be present at the time of initial diagnosis. In these high-risk patients, there may be a therapeutic benefit of combining hormonal therapy with external beam radiation therapy and Samarium-153 EDTMP to treat localized and subclinical bony disease, respectively.
