Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects (good and bad) that mifepristone has on patients with androgen independent prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients will receive mifepristone, 200mg orally once a day. One treatment cycle is 28 days long. Patients will remain on treatment unless their cancer gets worse or they develop intolerable side effects.

At the end of each cycle a physical examination, routine blood tests, and hormone levels will be performed.

After every 3 cycles, one or more of the following will be performed: bone scan, chest x-ray, CT scan or MRI.
