Ketoconazole, Hydrocortisone, and GM-CSF in Treating Patients With Progressive Prostate Cancer After Hormone Therapy

NCT00309894

Non-randomizedOpen-labelTreatment

Summary

RATIONALE: Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs, such as ketoconazole, may stop the adrenal glands from making androgens. GM-CSF may help ketoconazole work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving ketoconazole together with hydrocortisone and GM-CSF may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving ketoconazole together with hydrocortisone and GM-CSF works in treating patients with progressive prostate cancer after hormone therapy.
