Taxotere/Prednisone Plus Sunitinib in Chemotherapy-Naïve, Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer Patients
A Pilot Phase I/II Study to Evaluate the Effects of Taxotere/Prednisone Plus Sunitinib in Chemotherapy-Naïve, Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer Patients With Biochemical Relapse
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving docetaxel and prednisone together with sunitinib malate may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This pilot phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best way to give docetaxel and prednisone together with sunitinib malate and to see how well it works in treating patients with prostate cancer that progressed after hormone therapy.

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the response by prostate specific antigen (PSA) of docetaxel/prednisone plus sunitinib (sunitinib malate) in chemotherapy-naive, hormone refractory prostate cancer subjects with biochemical relapse.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DR) in subjects with measurable disease.
II. To determine overall survival (OS) and time to progression (TTP). III. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of sunitinib in combination with docetaxel and prednisone.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive docetaxel intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on day 1, prednisone orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-21, and sunitinib malate PO once daily (QD) on days 2-15. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients then receive sunitinib malate PO QD on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 42 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically for 3 years.

- Subjects should not have current, recent (within 4 weeks of the first infusion of this study), or planned participation in an experimental drug study.

- Subjects with evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy are not eligible.
- Subjects with central nervous system or brain metastases are not eligible.
- Subjects who had major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to Day 0, anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study are not eligible.
- Subjects with minor surgical procedures, fine needle aspirations or core biopsies within 7 days prior to Day 0 are not eligible.
- Subjects with history of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess are not eligible.
