Scientific titleA randomised phase III trial of docetaxel plus prednisolone vs docetaxel with prednisolone plus either zoledronic acid, strontium-89 or both agents combined (TRAPEZE)
Study acronymTRAPEZE
Study objectivesStudy aim: To compare the efficacy and safety of the four clinical trial arms in the treatment of hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC0 patients).
Ethics approval(s)South West Research Ethics Committee, 09/11/2004, ref: 04/MRE06/48
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedProstate cancer
InterventionCurrent interventions as of 15/01/2009:
1. Docetaxel (Taxotere®) 75 mg/m2 as a one hour intravenous infusion every 3 weeks for a maximum of 6 cycles.
2. Docetaxel (Taxotere®) as a one hour intravenous infusion every 3 weeks for a maximum of 6 cycles with Zoledronic acid (Zometa®) every 3 weeks. Zoledronic acid will then continue alone every 4 weeks until you or your doctor wishes to discontinue it.
3. Docetaxel (Taxotere®) as a one hour intravenous infusion every 3 weeks for a maximum of 6 cycles and one treatment of Strontium-89 given 28 days after the last dose of Docetaxel (Taxotere) as a short intravenous injection.
4. Docetaxel (Taxotere®) as a one hour intravenous infusion every 3 weeks for a maximum of 6 cycles, followed by one treatment of Strontium-89 given 28 days later. Zoledronic acid (Zometa®) will be given every 3 weeks throughout the treatment. Zoledronic acid will then continue alone every 4 weeks until you or your doctor wishes to discontinue it.

As part of the main treatment the participants will also be given steroid tablets (prednisolone) to take during the course of treatment with docetaxel. In addition they will receive extra steroid tablets (dexamethasone) for a few days around each infusion of chemotherapy to decrease the potential side effects of docetaxel (allergic reactions and fluid retention).

Previous interventions:
