Docetaxel, Bevacizumab and Androgen Deprivation Therapy After Definitive Local Therapy for Prostate Cancer

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Prostate Cancer

In brief

In this research study, we aim to evaluate the feasibility, toxicity and efficacy of early multimodality systemic therapy (a combination of docetaxe, bevacizumab, and androgen deprivation therapy(ADT) in men with biochemical recurrence (BCR) or who have a rising Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) after treatment of their prostate cancer with surgery or radiation)
