Chemotherapy Plus Hormone Therapy Versus Androgen Suppression in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Unresectable Prostate Cancer
Completed
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Phase 3
1996-08-01
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Combining hormone therapy with chemotherapy and androgen
suppression may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which treatment regimen is more
effective for prostate cancer.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy plus hormone
therapy versus androgen suppression alone as initial therapy in patients with prostate cancer
that is metastatic or that cannot be removed surgically.

Calcitriol in Combination With Ketoconazole and Therapeutic Hydrocortisone in Treating Patients With Prostate Cancer
Terminated
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Phase 1/Phase 2
2006-10-01
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of calcitriol when given in
combination with ketoconazole and therapeutic hydrocortisone and to see how well it works in
treating patients with prostate cancer. Calcitriol may help prostate cancer cells become more
like normal cells and grow and spread more slowly. Ketoconazole and therapeutic
hydrocortisone may help calcitriol work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the
drug. Giving calcitriol together with ketoconazole and therapeutic hydrocortisone may be a
better treatment for prostate cancer.
