75 YEARS LATER......
Androgen Deprivation therapy is still the standard of care in metastatic hormone
sensitive prostate cancer
Mitoxantrone
Chemotherapy with mitoxantrone plus prednisone or
prednisone alone for symptomatic hormone-resistant
prostate cancer: a Canadian randomized trial with
palliative end points.
161 hormone-refractory patients
Primary end point was 2-point decrease in pain as assessed by a 6-point pain scale.
23 of 80 patients (29%) with Mito vs 10 of 81 patients (12%)
No overall survival difference.
J Clin Oncol 1996;14:1756-64.
• 242 patients with HRPC
• Randomized to receive either M+H or hydrocortisone alone.
• M+H:
– time to treatment failure
– disease progression
– QOL was better
• No difference in overall survival (12.3 months for M+H v 12.6 months for hydrocortisone alone

• Microtubule stabilizer
• Developed in docetaxel-

lines
• a favorable pharmacokinetic
and safety profile
• decreased propensity for P-

• inhibited cell growth in a wide
