SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 6 years

Population: Twenty-six participants total resumed a second course of the Docetaxel, and five participants went on to resume a third course of treatment.

PSA partial response is defined by at least a 50% decline from PSA value from the baseline measurement to 12 weeks of protocol therapy. The decline must be confirmed by a second PSA value obtained 4 or more weeks later For those patients whose PSA have decreased but has not reached response criteria defined above, progressive disease is defined as 25% increase over the nadir PSA value provided that the increase is at least 5ng/mL and is confirmed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 7 years

Median percentage of time will be calculated to summarize the total duration of chemotherapy and amount of docetaxel/prednisone administered while the patient is on study. The same results will be tabulated for each. For the on-chemotherapy period: will be estimated from the date of starting protocol therapy; if a patient received docetaxel on day 2 of a cycle, he will be considered to have received a full 21 days on therapy. For the off-chemotherapy period: will be calculated from the date of starting the observation or GM-CSF period to the date of resuming chemotherapy

All Accrued Patients
n=125 participants at risk
All patients were assigned to received six 21-day cycles of docetaxel 75 mg/m2 on Day 2 of each cycle and 5 mg prednisone twice a day on Days 1-21. Following six cycles of chemotherapy, eligible subjects were randomized to no maintenance therapy or to maintenance GM-CSF therapy. Patients in both groups were followed until disease progression at which time GM-CSF was discontinued and another course of docetaxel and prednisone was administered again.
Infections and infestations
Febrile neutropenia
6.4%
8/125 • Number of events 9 • Any patient receiving at least one dose of the study treatment will be included in the analyses of toxicity during the initial chemotherapy period, but patients who cancel registration before receiving any therapy will not. All grade 3-5, expected and unexpected adverse events (AEs) were collected at all study visits from time of first treatment until at least 28 days following the last dose of study drug.
Data was not collected per intervention. All patients were assigned to the same treatment of Docetaxel/Prednisone before being assigned to the subsequent therapy arms where they may have received multiple treatment courses with multiple inductions. Abnormal lab values or test results constituted AEs only if they induced clinical signs /symptoms, required therapy, or required dose modification. There were no treatment-associated deaths.
