Phase I/II Evaluation of Oral Estramustine and Oral Vinorelbine on an Intermittent Schedule in Patients With Hormone-Refractory Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate
Hormone Refractory prostate cancer refers to advanced disease in which a patient no longer
responds to conventional hormonal treatment. When hormone therapy is no longer successful,
chemotherapy is a treatment option. However, current single-agent treatment has shown to
have limited benefit. In this clinical trial, investigators are evaluating the effectiveness
of combining two chemotherapy drugs, Estramustine and Vinorelbine (Navelbine), in the
treatment of hormone refractory prostate cancer. Estramustine has been used in the treatment
of prostate cancer for many years. Vinorelbine has shown activity in prostate cancer. In
addition, the effect of this treatment on the quality of life of patients will be evaluated
as measured using the FACT-P.
Inclusion Criteria
Patients must have a histologic diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate. (No evidence
of brain metastasis or untreated spinal cord compression.)
Patients on total androgen suppression therapy must undergo nonsteroidal antiandrogen
withdrawal and demonstrate at rising PSA 4 weeks after withdrawal for flutamide and 6
weeks after withdrawal for bicalutamide or nilutamide.
Patients must have measurable soft tissue disease or evaluable (abnormal bone scan and/or
elevated PSA).
