Adjuvant Docetaxel-Zoledronic Acid in High-risk Early Prostate Cancer Following Prostatectomy.

April 23, 2010 updated by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

A Phase IIb Randomised Clinical Trial of the Tolerability, Safety and Efficacy of Adjuvant Docetaxel-Zoledronic Acid After Prostatectomy for High-risk Early Prostate Cancer (AD-ZAP).

Radical prostatectomy is used to treat early prostate cancer in otherwise well men, but is followed by later cancer relapse in 1 in 4 cases. This study aims to see if post-operative adjuvant therapy with a combination of zoledronic acid and docetaxel might help reduce relapse in such cases. Patients will be randomized to receive the adjuvant combination therapy or no therapy. All patients will be monitored closely for signs of relapse and treated appropriately with conventional salvage therapy.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer within last 2 months.
