17Key Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria

i Inclusion Criteria

Inclusion criteria Ü Male patients aged more than 50 years old Ü Histologically confirmed prostate cancer Ü Clinically diagnosed as hormonal refractory carcinoma of prostate (HRPC) 1. Serum castration levels of testosterone. (less than 50 ng/ml) 2. Two consecutive rises of PSA 2 weeks apart defined as 2 successive increases with the first increase a minimum of 1 week from the baseline and the second increase a minimum of 1 week from the first increase. 3. A patient whose only evidence of progressive disease is an increasing PSA should have a value of at least 5 ng/mL before entering onto a clinical trial. 4. Documented PSA progression despite secondary hormonal manipulations*. • Either antiandrogen withdrawal or one secondary hormonal manipulation should have been done in order to fulfil the criteria for HRPC. 5. Antiandrogen withdrawal for at least 4 weeks for flutamide and 6 weeks for bicalutamide*. Ü With an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2. Ü Must have received their last radiation treatment at least 4 weeks earlier and their last dose of a therapeutic radionucleotide at least 8 weeks earlier. Ü Must at least 3 weeks since major operation. Exclusion criteria Ü Patients with history of thromboembolic disease within previous 6 months Ü severe uncontrolled cardiovascular disease Ü Clinical significant neuropathy or other comorbid conditions Ü Patients who have: ¡µ Serum creatinine levels > 200 £gmol/L (2.4 mg/dl) ¡µ Creatinine clearance < 50ml/min ¡µ WBC < 4.0¡Ñ109/L, Hb < 10g/dl, PLT <100¡Ñ109/L ¡µ Serum transaminases enzyme level > 1.5 upper normal level

23 Primary Outcome

The primary end point of this study is the anti-tumour response Defined as ≥50% reduction in serum PSA level maintained on two consecutive evaluations at least 4 weeks apart.

24 Secondary Outcome

The start of the time to PSA progression is the day treatment is initiated. If at least a 50% decline in PSA has been achieved, the end date is the time the PSA has increased 50% above the nadir at a minimum of 5 ng/mL (this is the same as the parameter for PSA response). For patients without a PSA decrease of this magnitude (or no decrease in PSA), the end point for progression will be calculated at the time a 25% increase in PSA has been achieved. All end dates require a confirmatory PSA at least 4 weeks apart. Toxicity (National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria version 2.0)
