Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to make cancer cells stop dividing so they stop growing or die Combining chemotherapy with corticosteroids may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of methylprednisolone with or without doxorubicin in treating patients who have metastatic prostate cancer that has not responded to hormone therapy
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the effect of weekly doxorubicin on the quality of life of patients with metastatic hormone-refractory symptomatic prostate cancer II Determine the contribution of this treatment on control of pain in these patients III Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients IV Determine the objective response and biological observations in these patients after this treatment V Determine the effect of this regimen on survival of these patients

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms Arm I Patients receive methylprednisolone IV weekly for 3 months Arm II Patients receive methylprednisolone IV and doxorubicin IV weekly for 3 months Quality of life is assessed before treatment every 4 weeks during treatment and then every 3 months Patients are followed every 3 months

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 160 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years
