Docetaxel in Combination With GVAX ® Immunotherapy Versus Docetaxel and Prednisone in Prostate Cancer Patients

This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Cell Genesys, May 2008

Sponsored by: Cell Genesys
Information provided by: Cell Genesys
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00133224
  Purpose

The primary objective of this study is to compare the duration of survival between patients receiving docetaxel in combination with the GVAX® vaccine for prostate cancer versus patients receiving docetaxel and prednisone treatment in patients with prostate cancer who no longer respond to hormone therapy, who have documented metastases with pain. Patients may have had up to one prior non-taxane chemotherapy treatment.

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 estimated completion of accrual, and the timeframes for the primary/secondary endpoints cannot be accurately estimated.
