Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Age \>= 75
- Histologically proven prostate adenocarcinoma
- Metastatic disease, not pre-treated with chemotherapy refractory to castration
- Hormone refractory prostate cancer is defined as follows:
- Patients with documented testosterone castration (\<0.50 ng / ml)
- Patient who received prior hormonal therapy (either orchidectomy or Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist alone or combined with an anti-androgen)

- OR emergence of a new lesion
- OR measurable progressive disease (increase of a previous measurable lesion \>= 25% in cross section)
- OR progressive bone metastases (defined only by the appearance of a new lesion on bone scan)
- OR progressive symptoms (defined as cancer pain Grade 2 according to the NCI-CTC V4.0, despite level 2 analgesics intake).
- Patients of Groups 2 and 3 \[ "vulnerable" and "frail"\] of SIOG classification

- Platelets \>= 100.109/L
- Haemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dl
- Bilirubin and SGOT / SGPT \<1.5 x ULN (\<= 2.5 x ULN if hepatic metastasis)
- creatinine \<= 2.5 x ULN
- In case of previous palliative or analgesic radiotherapy, a minimum of 14 days must have elapsed between end of radiotherapy and inclusion into the study

- Prior treatment by intravenous radiopharmaceutical agent (e.g. Strontium 89, Samarium lexidronam) within 2 months before study entry
- Initiation of a bisphosphonate therapy within 28 days prior to randomisation
- Any concomitant anticancer treatment (radiotherapy, radiopharmaceutical agent, chemotherapy)
- Patients with uncontrolled infection
- Patients with peripheral neuropathy of grade\> 1
- Patients medically unstable (e.g. unstable diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension or decompensated heart failure or myocardial infarct within 3 months)
- Gastro duodenal active ulcer
- Hypersensitivity to study drugs
