This is a single-center, open-label (sequential-group dose-escalation dose-finding) phase I
study of satraplatin and docetaxel in patients who have received ï‚£ 2 prior chemotherapy
regimens. Once the MTD is determined, an additional 6 patients, all with chemotherapy-naïve
HRPC, will be enrolled. Once a recommended dose(s) (RD(s)) for phase 2 studies has/have
been determined, 6 additional patients with chemotherapy-naïve HRPC will be enrolled at the
RD to further evaluate safety and efficacy.


RATIONALE:

Satraplatin is an oral platinum analog that is currently being evaluated in combination with
prednisone in a phase III clinical trial in patients with HRPC who have progressed following
one prior chemotherapy regimen.

Docetaxel is a taxane that is indicated for the treatment of patients with non-small cell
lung, breast, and prostate cancers. Specifically, it was recently approved in combination
with prednisone for the treatment of patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer
(HRPC). Docetaxel administered every 3 weeks was associated with a survival advantage versus
mitoxantrone. Docetaxel administered weekly showed an improvement in survival versus
mitoxantrone that was not statistically significant. However, it was better tolerated than
docetaxel administered every 3 weeks, with significantly less grade 3 and 4 toxicities,
especially neutropenia. The combination of satraplatin and weekly docetaxel may be a
feasible regimen for patients with chemotherapy-naïve HRPC and for patients with other
malignancies for which these medications show activity.

OBJECTIVE:

The objective of this study is to determine the optimum doses for satraplatin and weekly
docetaxel when the 2 drugs are given in combination.
