Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate PTK787/ZK 222584, a drug that blocks new blood vessel growth, in the treatment of patients with non-metastatic androgen independent prostate cancer. This study will assess the safety and tolerability of PTK787/ZK 222584, and evaluate serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels.
