Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of arsenic trioxide in treating patients who have stage IV prostate cancer that has not responded to hormone therapy
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the efficacy of arsenic trioxide in patients with metastatic stage IVA or IVB hormone-refractory prostate cancer
Determine the toxicity of this drug in this patient population
Assess in a preliminary manner the effect of this drug on pain control in these patients
Assess the potential value of serial quantitative prostate-specific antigen PSA and prostate-specific membrane antigen PSMA mRNA determinations in RNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells as surrogate markers of disease response in patients treated with this drug
Assess the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of this drug in these patients
Assess the feasibility of using pretreatment bone marrow evaluation of PSA and PMSA mRNA levels and pi class glutathione S-transferase expression ie eliminate glutathione levels as potential correlates of disease response in patients treated with this drug

OUTLINE Patients receive arsenic trioxide IV over 2 hours on days 1-5 and 8-12 for one course Treatment continues as biweekly infusions for at least 14 additional weeks in the absence of disease progression unacceptable toxicity or excessive increase in serum prostate-specific antigen

Pain is assessed at baseline and then before each biweekly treatment

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 17-37 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-24 months
