Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Patient preference
Assessed up 21 weeks after randomization

Patient preference (Taxotere versus Jevtana) assessed by a single question after completion of the second period of chemotherapy. Primary outcome measure will be assessed in the intent-to-treat population as defined by all patients having completed the first 4 cycles without progression and having received at least 1 cycle of the second treatment period. Patients having progressed during the first period will discontinue the trial.

To evaluate PSA response rates (response will be defined as a > 50% reduction in PSA levels) in men who have failed primary chemotherapy.
Followed for survival

Subjects once off treatment wil be followed for survival

Secondary Endpoints

To compare progression free survival, disease free survival, overall survival, and toxicity (tolerance/safety).
