Purpose Mitoxantrone-corticosteroid is currently the standard palliative treatment in hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) patients. Recent clinical trials documented the high activity of the docetaxel-estramustine combination. We conducted a randomized phase II study to evaluate prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response (primary end point) and safety of two docetaxel-estramustine-prednisone (DEP) regimens and mitoxantrone-prednisone (MP).Patients and Methods One hundred thirty metastatic HRPC patients were randomly assigned to receive docetaxel (70 mg/m(2) on day 2 or 35 mg/m(2) on days 2 and 9 of each 21-day cycle) and estramustine (280 mg PO tid on days 1 through 5 and 8 through 12) or mitoxantrone 12 mg/m(2) every 3 weeks; all patients received prednisone (10 mg daily).Results One hundred twenty-seven patients were assessable for PSA response and safety. A >= 50 % PSA decline was found in a greater percentage of patients in the docetaxel arms (67 % and 63 %) compared with MP (18 %; P = .0001). Median time to PSA progression was five times longer with DEP than with MP (8.8 and 9.3 v 1.7 months, respectively; P = .000001). Overall survival was better in the docetaxel arms (18.6 and 18.4 months) compared with the MP arm (13.4 months), but not significantly so (P = .3). Crossover rates differed significantly among treatment arms (16 %, 10 %, and 48 % in arms A, B, and C, respectively; P =.00001). Treatment-related toxicities were mild and mainly hematologic.Conclusion The results of this randomized phase II study showed significantly higher PSA decline
