Why stopped (as posted): Low Accrual
Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs, such as goserelin, leuprolide, flutamide, or bicalutamide, may stop the adrenal glands from making androgens. Giving bortezomib with hormone therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving bortezomib with or without hormone therapy works in treating patients with relapsed prostate cancer.

- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Part A: Velcade
- description
- Patient will complete Part A (Velcade only). If the patient has a complete response, he will come off study. If the patient has progressive disease, he will start Part B (Velcade + antiandrogen). If the patient has a partial response or stable disease, he will start Part B after at least a 7-day break.
