Trastuzumab and Docetaxel in Treating Patients Who Have Metastatic Prostate Cancer That Is Refractory to Hormone Therapy
A Phase 2 study testing trastuzumab and docetaxel in people with Prostate Cancer, run by City of Hope Medical Center at 4 sites in United States.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Randomized Phase II Trial of Herceptin (NSC 688097) and Weekly Docetaxel (NSC 628503) in Androgen-Independent (Horomone Refractory) Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate (CaP)
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining monoclonal antibody therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of trastuzumab alone and in combination with docetaxel in treating patients who have metastatic prostate cancer that is refractory to hormone therapy.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
- Compare the efficacy and toxicity of docetaxel (arm I) vs trastuzumab (Herceptin) (arm II), followed by a combination of docetaxel and trastuzumab in patients with androgen-independent or hormone-refractory metastatic, Her2/neu-positive prostate cancer. (Arm I closed to accrual effective 07/30/2001.)
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
- Arm I: Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour weekly for 6 weeks. Treatment continues every 8 weeks for at least 2 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. (Arm I closed to accrual effective 07/30/2001. Arm I patients crossover to arm II.)
- Arm II: Patients receive trastuzumab (Herceptin) IV over 30-90 minutes weekly for 8 weeks. Treatment continues every 8 weeks for at least 2 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.
Patients with progressive or stable disease after 2 courses of single-agent therapy receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 of each week for 6 consecutive weeks and trastuzumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1 of each week for 8 consecutive weeks. Treatment continues every 8 weeks for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients with complete or partial response to single-agent therapy continue on that therapy until experiencing progressive or stable disease. The patients then proceed to combination therapy.
Patients are followed until death.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 108-160 patients (54-80 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study. (Arm I closed to accrual effective 07/30/2001.)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing trastuzumab and docetaxel in people with Prostate Cancer, run by City of Hope Medical Center at 4 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Oct 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00005857, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Oct 2011; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
