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 evaluate the effect of the combination of mitoxantrone and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

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

This trial evaluates if the addition of GM-CSF to standard-of-care therapy after 1st-line docetaxel improves tumor control and survival. Because the 2 drugs have completely different mechanisms of action as well as non-overlapping metabolism, clinically significant drug-drug interactions are not anticipated, and therefore both drugs will be given at standard (approved) doses.

GM-CSF Plus Mitoxantrone

GM-CSF at 250 micrograms/ m² / day subcutaneously 3 x week for 3 weeks. Participants will also receive mitoxantrone 14 mg/m² on Day 1 of each cycle. Each cycle of therapy consists 21 days.
