Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the antitumor activity of DX-8951f as measured by PSA response in patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer II Determine the antitumor activity of this drug in the subpopulation of these patients with measurable disease III Evaluate the quantitative and qualitative toxicities of this drug in these patients IV Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients
OUTLINE This is a multicenter study Patients receive DX-8951f IV over 30 minutes daily for 5 days Courses repeat every 21 days Treatment continues in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression Patients with no evidence of PSA decrease by the start of course 3 receive no further treatment Patients are followed every 3 months until death
