Exclusion Criteria:

- Have had prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease in castration-resistant prostate cancer (prior chemotherapy for hormone-sensitive disease, more than twelve months prior to registration, is acceptable)
- Have had had surgery within four weeks of dosing of investigational agent, excluding minor procedures (dental work, skin biopsy, etc.), celiac plexus block, and biliary stent placement

- Gastrointestinal (GI): cimetidine, aprepitant
- Hepatitis C: boceprevir, telaprevir
- Miscellaneous: Seville oranges, grapefruit, or grapefruit juice and/or pummelos, star fruit, exotic citrus fruits, or grapefruit hybrids
- Have uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
- Has glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency
- Have end stage renal disease
- Has history of calcium oxalate stones
- Has history of iron overload
- Have a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (HIV 1/2 antibodies)
- Have a know active uncontrolled hepatitis B, or hepatitis C infection

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Arm A (docetaxel, ascorbic acid)
Patients receive docetaxel IV on day 1 and ascorbic acid IV twice weekly.
The first ascorbic acid treatment will be given on day 1 (same day as docetaxel).
Treatment repeats every 21 days for 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Effect of Ascorbic Acid on Docetaxel Exposure
Time Frame: Up to 24 weeks

F2-isoprostanes, a Pharmacodynamic Measure of Oxidant Injury in Vivo
Time Frame: Up to course 6 (18 weeks)
|
Correlative analyses will assess the association between ascorbic acid and lipid peroxidation (F2-isoprostanes) in the two study arms, globally, and over time.
Comparisons of ascorbic acid and F2-isoprostanes by study arm at cycle 1, cycle 2, cycle 4 and cycle 6, accounting for baseline measures obtained from the same patient, will be made by taking differences between post baseline and baseline values and comparing these differences between arms of the study with t-tests.
Regression will also be used to assess the association between F2-isoprostane and ascorbic acid at cycle 4 and at cycle 6.
