rationale for combining estramustine with taxanes was based on the hypothesis that greater inhibition of microtubule function and cytotoxicity could be achieved using drugs that bind to different, but complementary protein targets in the microtubule. Estramustine and paclitaxel demonstrated synergistic cytotoxicity in vitro in a human androgen-independent prostate carcinoma cell line (DU 145) at concentrations below those commonly achieved clinically.Hudes and colleagues8 clinically evaluated paclitaxel plus oral estramustine in patients with metastatic HRPC. A phase I trial evaluating the combination of daily estramustine and infusional paclitaxel was performed. 8 Paclitaxel at a dose of 120 mg/m2 over 96 hours combined with estramustine at 600 mg/m2/d was found to be the maximum tolerated dose. Sixty-five percent of patients had a PSA level decline of 50% or more. Both patients with measurable soft-tissue metastases had objective responses. No grade 4 toxicities were noted. In a subsequent phase II trial, thirtyfour patients received paclitaxel, 120 mg/m2, by 96-hour intravenous infusion on days 1 through 4 each 21-day cycle, together with continuous daily oral estramustine phosphate, 600 mg/m2/d. 9 Among the thirty-two patients with elevated pretreatment PSA levels, 53% had a decline of PSA level greater than or equal to 50%, and 28.1% had a greater than or equal to 80% decrease. Among nine patients with measurable disease, four patients (44%) showed objective responses. The estimated median survival time was 7 months. The most common toxicities were neutropenia and anorexia.
