Docetaxel and Hydroxychloroquine in Treating Patients With Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Stopped early · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Prostate Cancer

In brief

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Hydroxychloroquine may help docetaxel work better and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving docetaxel together with hydroxychloroquine works in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
