Brief Summary: RATIONALE Combining calcitriol with dexamethasone may increase the effectiveness of therapy by making cancer cells more sensitive to dexamethasone

PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of calcitriol combined with dexamethasone in treating patients who have prostate cancer that has not responded to previous hormone therapy
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the maximum tolerated dose of calcitriol administered alone and in combination with dexamethasone in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer
Determine the pharmacokinetics of calcitriol with and without dexamethasone in these patients

OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study of calcitriol

In the first stage of the study cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of oral calcitriol on days 1-3 Dose escalation continues until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined

In the second stage patients receive escalating doses of oral calcitriol on days 1-3 and a fixed dose of oral dexamethasone on days 0-4 Treatment continues weekly in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Dose escalation continues until the MTD is determined

Six additional patients may receive calcitriol and dexamethasone at one dose level below the MTD determined in the second stage to confirm the MTD

The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 40 patients will be accrued for this study
