The Use of RAD001 With Docetaxel in the Treatment of Metastatic, Androgen Independent Prostate Cancer
Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2
Conditions studied: Metastatic, Androgen Independent Prostate Cancer, Prostate Cancer
In brief
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and optimal dose of RAD001 and docetaxel plus prednisone in men with hormone refractory, metastatic prostate cancer (Phase I). Once an appropriate dose is reached, the purpose then will be to determine the response rate of docetaxel plus RAD001 (Phase II).
