PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of nitrocamptothecin in treating men who have stage IV prostate cancer that has not responded to hormone therapy
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine the therapeutic efficacy of nitrocamptothecin in patients with metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer Determine time to disease progression and duration of response in this patient population as a result of this treatment regimen Determine the safety tolerance and toxicity of this treatment regimen in these patients
OUTLINE Patients receive nitrocamptothecin orally daily for 5 consecutive days each week for 3 consecutive weeks Treatment continues every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Patients are followed every 3 months until evidence of progression or relapse for a maximum of 2 years from the date of registration
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 22-46 patients will be accrued for this study over 2 years
