Brief Summary:
This randomized phase II/III trial studies docetaxel, antiandrogen therapy, and radiation therapy to see how well it works compared with antiandrogen therapy and radiation therapy alone in treating patients with prostate cancer that has been removed by surgery. Androgen can cause the growth of prostate cells. Antihormone therapy may lessen the amount of androgen made by the body. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving antiandrogen therapy and radiation therapy with or without docetaxel after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells.

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the benefit of docetaxel as measured by improvement in freedom from progression (phase II) and subsequently metastasis free survival (phase III) when given in combination with radiation and androgen deprivation in treatment of high risk prostate cancer post-radical prostatectomy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess overall survival. II. To assess local time to progression. III. To assess undetectable prostate-specific antigen (PSA) with a non-castrate testosterone at 2.5 years post treatment.

IV. To assess the utility of genomic profiling in making adjuvant therapy decisions post-prostatectomy.

V. To assess toxicity of docetaxel in the post-operative setting when combined with radiation and androgen deprivation therapy.

VI. To assess treatment response by genomically defined sub-groups of prostate cancer patients.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients receive androgen deprivation therapy comprising leuprolide acetate, goserelin acetate, bicalutamide, flutamide, or nilutamide for 6 months. Beginning 8 weeks after the start of androgen deprivation therapy, patients receive external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for 7.5 weeks.

ARM II: Patients receive androgen deprivation therapy and EBRT as in Arm I. Within 4-6 weeks after completion of radiation therapy, patients receive docetaxel intravenously (IV) on day 1 of every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unexpected toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 3 years, and then yearly.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Freedom from progression (FFP) (Phase II) [ Time Frame: From time of randomization to first event, assessed up to 43 months ]
    Will be determined with a one-sided stratified log-rank test when 89 FFP events have been observed. Both unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios and the respective 95% confidence interval will be computed. Events for FFP will be the first occurrence of biochemical failure by PSA >= 0.4 ng/ml over the nadir PSA confirmed by a second PSA higher than the first by any amount, recurrence (local, regional or distant), institution of secondary androgen deprivation therapy and death from any cause.

  2. Metastasis free survival (MFS) (Phase III) [ Time Frame: From time of randomization to first occurrence of distant metastasis or death from any cause, assessed up to 9.5 years ]
    Will be measured with a one-sided stratified log-rank test when 282 MFS events have been observed. Both unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios and the respective 95% confidence interval will be computed.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall survival [ Time Frame: Time to death from any cause assessed up to 9.5 years ]
    Will be analyzed using log-rank methodology and Cox proportional models. Tests for violations of proportionality will performed for the survival models. Both unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios and the respective 95% confidence interval will be computed.

  2. Time to local progression [ Time Frame: Baseline to local or regional recurrence ignoring biochemical failure and distant recurrence and censoring for death, assessed up to 2.5 years ]
    Data will be summarized by cumulative incidence curves. Fine and Gray models will be used to adjust inference for competing risks. Both unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios and the respective 95% confidence intervals will be computed.

  3. Proportions of patients with Grade 3 through Grade 5 adverse events that are either related to study drug or not graded according to NCI CTCAE version 3.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 30 days post radiation therapy ]
    Frequencies, proportions and severity of acute adverse events by treatment arm will be presented. Specifically, Grade 3 - 5 adverse events will be tallied. Adverse events related to study drug will also be tallied.

  4. Proportion of undetectable PSA with a non-castrate testosterone [ Time Frame: At 2.5 years post treatment ]
    Both unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios and the respective 95% confidence interval will be computed.
