Descriptive Information Fields
Brief Title  GVAX® Vaccine for Prostate Cancer vs Docetaxel & Prednisone in Patients With Metastatic Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer
Official Title  A Phase III Randomized, Open-Label Study of CG1940 and CG8711 Versus Docetaxel and Prednisone in Patients With Metastatic Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer Who Are Chemotherapy-Naïve
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the duration of survival between GVAX® immunotherapy for prostate cancer and chemotherapy treatment in patients with prostate cancer who no longer respond to hormone therapy, who have documented metastases, and who have not been treated with chemotherapy in the past.

As this is a survival trial and it is difficult to predict when deaths or the primary/secondary endpoints will occur, the anticipated completion dates provided represent the actual completion of accrual, and the timeframes for the primary/secondary endpoints cannot be accurately estimated.
