Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of Samarium-153 when given in combination with hormonal and external beam radiation therapy in men with high risk prostate cancer.

Detailed description

The likelihood of prostate cancer cells metastasizing to bone has an early and important influence on the natural history of prostate cancer. Bone-targeted therapy, when given sequentially with hormonal therapy (androgen suppression) and radiation therapy, prolongs the progression of the disease in clinically non-metastatic prostate cancer patients. The use of Samarium-153 EDTMP in conjunction with hormonal therapy and external beam radiation therapy has never been previously evaluated in high risk clinically localized prostate cancer. Many patients with high-risk prostate cancer develop progressive disease within 2 years of therapy indicating that subclinical metastatic disease may be present at the time of initial diagnosis. In these high-risk patients, there may be a therapeutic benefit of combining hormonal therapy with external beam radiation therapy and Samarium-153 EDTMP to treat localized and subclinical bony disease, respectively.

Interventions

DRUGSamarium-153

Samarium-153 will be administered as a single dose after one month of hormonal therapy. The dose level of Samarium-153 may change to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

DRUGTotal Androgen Suppression (TAS) with Bicalutamide

Patients will receive 5 months of total androgen suppression (TAS) consisting of Zoladex and Casodex. Total androgen suppression will begin 3 months prior to initiation of irradiation.

DRUGTotal androgen suppression (TAS) with Goserelin Acetate

Patients will receive 5 months of total androgen suppression (TAS) consisting of Zoladex and Casodex. Total androgen suppression will begin 3 months prior to initiation of irradiation.

DEVICERadiation Therapy

Radiation therapy will begin 3 months following the initiation of hormone administration. Daily tumor doses will be given 5 days per week for 7-8 weeks.
