Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Inclusion Criteria:
  • Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
  • Progressive metastatic disease (i.e., positive bone scan or measurable disease) despite castrate levels of testosterone (either from orchiectomy or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone \[LHRH\] agonist therapy)
  • Progressive disease after discontinuing hormonal therapy
  • Progressive disease is based on any of the following\*:
  • Transaxial imaging
  • Rise in prostate-specific antigen (PSA)
  • Radionuclide bone scan (must show new metastatic lesions)
  • Nonmeasurable or measurable disease
  • For measurable disease, progression is defined by RECIST criteria

  • PSA evidence of progressive prostate cancer during or after first-line chemotherapy consists of a PSA level ≥ 2 ng/mL that has risen on ≥ 2 successive occasions ≥ 1 week apart
  • Received ≥ 3 prior courses of paclitaxel- or docetaxel-based therapy, with disease progression documented during therapy or after cessation of therapy
  • No more than 1 prior chemotherapy regimen
  • Re-treatment with the same taxane-based regimen allowed
  • Changes in prior chemotherapy regimen (addition of other agents) for disease progression are considered 2 chemotherapy regimens, and are not allowed
  • PSA ≥ 2 ng/mL
  • Testosterone \< 50 ng/dL
  • Patients must continue primary androgen deprivation with LHRH analogue if they have not undergone orchiectomy
  • No known active brain metastases
  • ECOG performance status 0-2
  • Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks
  • Creatinine ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) OR creatinine clearance \> 40 mL/min
  • ALT and AST \< 2.5 times ULN
  • Granulocyte count ≥ 2,000/mm³
  • Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm³
  • Bilirubin \< 1.5 times ULN
  • Ejection fraction normal by MUGA scan or echocardiogram
  • No significant cardiovascular disease, including any of the following:
  • Congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association class III-IV heart disease)
  • Active angina pectoris
  • Myocardial infarction within the past 6 months
  • No serious infections or nonmalignant medical illnesses that are uncontrolled or whose control may be jeopardized by study therapy
  • No psychiatric illness or social situation that would preclude study compliance
  • No pre-existing motor or sensory peripheral neuropathy \> grade 1
  • No known prior severe hypersensitivity reactions to agents containing Cremophor® EL
  • No "currently active" second malignancy other than nonmelanoma skin cancer
  • Patients are not considered to have a "currently active" malignancy if they have completed therapy and are considered to be at \< 30% risk of relapse
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception prior to, during, and for 3 months after completion of study treatment
  • See Disease Characteristics
  • No prior mitoxantrone hydrochloride, ixabepilone, or other epothilones
  • At least 4 weeks since prior hormonal therapy (i.e., any dose of megestrol, finasteride, or any herbal product known to decrease PSA levels \[e.g., saw palmetto or PC-SPES\]) other than LHRH agonist or a stable dose of corticosteroids from a prior chemotherapy regimen
  • More than 4 weeks since other prior systemic therapies for prostate cancer
  • At least 4 weeks since prior radiation therapy
  • More than 8 weeks since prior radiopharmaceuticals (e.g., strontium chloride Sr 89 or samarium Sm 153 lexidronam pentasodium)
  • No concurrent moderate to strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
  • No concurrent prophylactic colony-stimulating factors
