Study objectivesClinical studies with mitoxantrone and clodronate showed a better pain reduction in patients with prostate cancer. Both in vitro and animal studies have shown that paclitaxel and biphosphonates act synergistically and prevent formation and progression of bone metastasis (breast cancer). This clinical trial studies the effect of risedronate and docetaxel in the treatment of hormone refractory prostate cancer.
Ethics approval(s)Received from local medical eithics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedProstate Cancer
InterventionArm A: Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks. Every patient will receive prednisone 5 mg bid.
Arm B: Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks plus 30 mg Risedronate once daily. Every patient will receive prednisone 5 mg bid.
Treatment will be given until progression, or 10 courses. After progression Risedronate 30 mg od + prednisone 5 mg will be continued.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Assess the objective PSA response to treatment by serial measurements of serum PSA as defined by the 'Bubley'.
2. Compare time to progression between concomitant and sequential use of docetaxel and risedronate, in combination with prednisone.
Secondary outcome measuresCompare the following parameters:
1. PSA response (Nubley rate)
2. PPI according to McGIll-Melzack toxicity profile
3. Objective response (RECIST)
4. Duration of PSA response
5. Survival
