Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as docetaxel work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing
PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying how well docetaxel works in treating patients with relapsed prostate cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Primary
Determine the complete response rate in patients with biochemically-relapsed hormone-sensitive prostate cancer treated with docetaxel
Secondary
Determine the time to PSA recurrence in patients receiving this treatment Determine the time to metastatic disease in patients receiving this treatment Determine the time to androgen independent state in patients receiving this treatment Determine the time to death from any cause in patients receiving this treatment
OUTLINE This is an open label study
Patients receive docetaxel IV over 60 minutes on day 1 Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4-6 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression
After completion of study therapy patients are followed periodically for up to 5 years
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 36 patients will be accrued for this study
