Brief Summary

This randomized phase II trial studies how well surgical removal of the prostate and antiandrogen therapy with or without docetaxel work in treating men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antiandrogen therapy may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Surgery, antiandrogen therapy and docetaxel may work better in treating participants with prostate cancer.

Conditions

Stage IV Prostate Adenocarcinoma AJCC v7

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Failure-free survival (FFS)

  Failure is defined as any one of the following events: PSA progression, clinical progression, radiographic progression, or death from prostate cancer. The % of men who fail within 2 years of randomization will be compare between the two groups using a one-sided log-rank test.

  At 2 years

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Cancer-specific survival

  Up to 2 years

• Overall complication rate

  Up to 2 years

• Time to biochemical progression

  Up to 2 years

• Overall survival

  Through study completion, a minimum of 4 years

Study Arms (2)

Arm I (ADT, docetaxel)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants receive antiandrogen therapy with or without docetaxel at the discretion of the treating physician.

Drug: Antiandrogen Therapy; Drug: Docetaxel; Other: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis; Procedure: Quality-of-Life Assessment; Other: Questionnaire Administration
