Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether treatment with a new drug called ZK-Epothilone (ZK-Epo) given with prednisone in patients with androgen-independent prostate cancer, who have not had previous chemotherapy, is safe and helps to decrease PSA (Prostate-specific antigen) levels.
