Background Mitoxantrone plus prednisone reduces pain and improvesthe quality of life in men with advanced, hormone-refractoryprostate cancer, but it does not improve survival. We comparedsuch treatment with docetaxel plus prednisone in men with thisdisease.
Methods From March 2000 through June 2002, 1006 men with metastatichormone-refractory prostate cancer received 5 mg of prednisonetwice daily and were randomly assigned to receive 12 mg of mitoxantroneper square meter of body-surface area every three weeks, 75mg of docetaxel per square meter every three weeks, or 30 mgof docetaxel per square meter weekly for five of every six weeks.The primary end point was overall survival. Secondary end pointswere pain, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, and the qualityof life. All statistical comparisons were against mitoxantrone.
Results As compared with the men in the mitoxantrone group,men in the group given docetaxel every three weeks had a hazardratio for death of 0.76 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.62to 0.94; P=0.009 by the stratified log-rank test) and thosegiven weekly docetaxel had a hazard ratio for death of 0.91(95 percent confidence interval, 0.75 to 1.11; P=0.36). Themedian survival was 16.5 months in the mitoxantrone group, 18.9months in the group given docetaxel every 3 weeks, and 17.4months in the group given weekly docetaxel. Among these threegroups, 32 percent, 45 percent, and 48 percent of men, respectively,had at least a 50 percent decrease in the serum PSA level (P<0.001for both comparisons with mitoxantrone); 22 percent, 35 percent(P=0.01), and 31 percent (P=0.08) had predefined reductionsin pain; and 13 percent, 22 percent (P=0.009), and 23 percent(P=0.005) had improvements in the quality of life. Adverse eventswere also more common in the groups that received docetaxel.
Conclusions When given with prednisone, treatment with docetaxelevery three weeks led to superior survival and improved ratesof response in terms of pain, serum PSA level, and quality oflife, as compared with mitoxantrone plus prednisone.
