Brief summary

We postulate that multiple apoptototic events are indusce through testosterone depletion and repletion with taxotere given in conjunction with androgen withdrawal.

Secondary

The Effects of Testosterone Administration on Docetaxel Pharmacokinetics.

Docetaxel Pharmacokinetic parameters for cycles 1 and 2.

Time frame: at Cycle 1 and 2

Population: A population pharmacokinetic model was fit to the data from all individuals simultaneously using a non-linear mixed effects modeling. This was performed using NONMEM. The NONMEM model accounts for between-patient, between-course, and residual variability (random effects) as well as parameter differences predicted by covariates (fixed effects).
