Bortezomib and Mitoxantrone in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Resources presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, visits or professional assistance with a real medical. We aren't doctors. Always consult your mD about Bortezomib and Mitoxantrone in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Bortezomib and Mitoxantrone in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer Clinical research trials and Bortezomib and Mitoxantrone in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer health trials occur in a lot of of places throughout the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically assess the effectivity of new does drugs. The role of the studies / projects is to resolve certain human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to detect remedies for all varieties of circumstances, such as Bortezomib and Mitoxantrone in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer. Bortezomib and Mitoxantrone in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain health treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Most times the human subjects recieve professional assistance for free of charge, and every now and again they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Bortezomib and Mitoxantrone in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer clinical trial. Human subjects frequently get the finest healthcare available for their Bortezomib and Mitoxantrone in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer condition. Risks are a reality, however, and may include extra or frequent physician visits, medical dangers (possibly life-threatening), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with strict guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Bortezomib and Mitoxantrone in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer



Bortezomib and Mitoxantrone in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer

For Condition: recurrent prostate cancer,stage 4 prostate cancer,stage 3 prostate cancer
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): M.D. Anderson Cancer Center , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as mitoxantrone work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth and may also make cancer cells more sensitive to chemotherapy. Combining bortezomib with mitoxantrone may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining bortezomib with mitoxantrone in treating patients who have advanced or metastaticandrogen-independentprostate cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: Primary - Determine the dose-limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of bortezomib and mitoxantrone in patients with advanced or metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer. Secondary - Determine the degree of proteasome inhibition in peripheral blood of patients treated with this regimen. - Correlate the effect of this regimen on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels with the degree of proteasomal inhibition in the blood of patients with baseline PSA levels ≥ 5 ng/mL who are treated near the MTD. - Determine the effect of this regimen on selected parameters of clinical benefit (i.e., performance status, tumor-related symptoms, and measurable disease response) in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. Patients receive bortezomib IV and mitoxantrone IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Treatment repeats every 35 days for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3 patients receive escalating doses of bortezomib and mitoxantrone until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose level having a mean posterior dose-limiting toxicity probability closest to 25%. Patients are followed at 3 weeks. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 42 patients will be accrued for this study within 10.5 months.
