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 Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells Antihormone therapy such as leuprolide may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells Giving docetaxel together with androgen ablation therapy and external-beam radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE This phase III trial is studying the side effects and best dose of docetaxel when given together with androgen ablation therapy and external-beam radiation therapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with high-risk localized prostate cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the dose-limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of docetaxel when administered in combination with androgen ablation therapy and adaptive external-beam radiotherapy in patients with high-risk localized adenocarcinoma of the prostate

Secondary

Determine the 2-year biochemical progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE This is a multicenter open-label dose-escalation study of docetaxel

Androgen ablation therapy Patients receive leuprolide acetate or other luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist beginning 2-3 months prior to the start of chemoradiotherapy and continuing for up to 2 years
Chemoradiotherapy Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 and high-dose external-beam radiotherapy on days 1-5 Treatment repeats every 7 days for 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of docetaxel until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity

After completion of study treatment patients are followed every 3 months
