Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Eligibility criteria:
  • Pathologically (histologically or cytologically) proven diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate within 12 months of registration;
  • Any one of the following clinical stages:
  • T3 disease, any N stage, M0 with any Gleason score and any prostate-specific antigen (PSA); \< T3 stage, any N stage, M0 with Gleason's score ≥ 8 and any PSA; \< T3 stage, any N stage, M0 with Gleason's score 7 and PSA ≥ 15 nanograms/ml; \< T3 stage, any N stage, M0 with Gleason score \< 7 and PSA ≥ 20 nanograms/ml.
  • A negative bone scan for metastatic disease;
  • It is mandatory that the treating physician determine the planned duration of LHRH therapy prior to the site registering the patient (minimum 1 year of therapy); If patient is receiving pre-treatment LHRH therapy, it must have begun ≤ 6 months prior to registration. If pelvic radiation therapy (RT) has started, it must have begun ≤ 8 weeks prior to registration;
  • Appropriate stage for protocol entry, including no distant metastases, based upon the following minimum diagnostic workup to be done within 16 weeks prior to registration:
  • History/physical examination;
  • Dental evaluation, including history of dental surgery (e.g., extraction or implant);
  • Bone scan;
  • T and L spine films;
  • DXA scan: To be eligible the patient must have a scan on Lunar, Hologic, or Norland equipment only and the T scores in both the L spine and total hip must be \> negative 2.5;
  • Zubrod Performance Status 0-1 within 16 weeks prior to registration; (8/16/07)
  • Age ≥ 18;
  • Serum creatinine within 4 weeks prior to registration (8/16/07)
  • Corrected serum calcium ≥ 8.4 and ≤ 10.6 mg/dl within 8 weeks prior to registration; note: for patients with an albumin of 4.0, corrected calcium=measured calcium. The formula for corrected calcium if serum albumin value is above or below 4.0 is as follows: Corrected calcium (mg/dl) = (4 - \[patient's albumin (g/dl)\] x 0.8) + patient's measured calcium (mg/dl)
  • Patients who are sexually active must be willing/able to use medically acceptable forms of contraception, as the treatment involved in this study may be significantly teratogenic.
  • Patient agrees to refrain from using all products listed in Section 9.2, "Non-permitted Supportive Therapy";
  • Post-prostatectomy patients are eligible.
  • Patient must sign study specific informed consent prior to study entry.
  • Ineligibility criteria:
  • Prior invasive malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer) unless disease free for a minimum of 3 years; e.g., carcinoma in situ of the breast or oral cavity are permissible;
  • Patients with baseline T scores of ≤ -2.5 are excluded.
  • Patients with baseline calculated creatinine clearance \< 30 mL/min (estimated by Cockcroft-Gault formula below) are excluded. creatinine clearance male = \[(140 - age) x (wt in kg)\] / \[(serum creatinine) x (72)\]
  • Prior bisphosphonate therapy;
  • Prior pelvic radiation (other than for current prostate cancer) or prior systemic radiotherapeutic agents, such as strontium or samarium;
  • Patients receiving systemic chemotherapy, steroids, growth hormones, or calcitonin;
  • Patients with a history of Paget's disease or with uncontrolled thyroid or parathyroid dysfunction or with other diseases that influence bone metabolism;
  • Known hypersensitivity to zoledronic acid or other bisphosphonates;
  • Active dental problems at study entry, including infection of the teeth or jawbone; dental or fixture trauma; or a current or prior diagnosis of osteonecrosis of the jaw, exposed bone in the mouth, or slow healing after dental procedures;
  • Recent or planned
