Brief Summary: RATIONALE Licorice root extract contains ingredients that may slow the growth of tumor cells 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 Giving licorice root extract together with docetaxel may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer

PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving licorice root extract together with docetaxel works in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer that did not respond to hormone therapy
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the efficacy and toxicity of licorice root extract in combination with docetaxel in patients with hormone-refractory metastatic prostate cancer

Secondary

Determine the ability of licorice root extract to alter surrogate markers of estrogen activity and cytotoxicity in these patients

OUTLINE Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 and oral licorice root extract 3 times a day on days 1-21 Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

After completion of study treatment patients are followed periodically

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 30 patients will be accrued for this study
