Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients must have a histologically or cytologically confirmed history of adenocarcinoma of the prostate Patients must have a PSA failure defined as PSA of \>= 0.2 ng/ml that has increased above nadir following prostatectomy If radiation or other local therapy was used as a primary therapy and no prostatectomy was performed patients must have PSA increase of 2.0 above post-therapy nadir; PSA value must be increasing based on two consecutive measurements each separated by at least 2 weeks with no clinical or radiographic evidence of metastatic disease; PSA values that meet the criteria for eligibility within 4 weeks of registration are acceptable to document eligibility for enrollment on this study; PSA level obtained after registration and prior to the first course will be used as the "baseline" PSA as per the schema but will not determine eligibility for participation
  • Patients must have had at least three PSA measurements over a minimum of three months available prior to enrollment to this study
  • Patients may have received any number of local therapies (radical prostatectomy, external beam radiation therapy, radioactive seed implantation, cryotherapy)

  • Platelets \>= 50,000

Exclusion

  • Patients with evidence of metastatic disease

  • Patients currently receiving biological response modifiers, or corticosteroids
  • Patients are permitted to have received up to 24 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant hormone ablation in conjunction with their primary definitive therapy; androgen deprivation must have been completed at least 6 months prior to registration and testosterone level must be \> 50; no complementary or alternative therapy (e.g. St. John's Wort, PC-SPES, or other herbal remedies taken for the purpose of treating prostate cancer) may be given during protocol treatment; patients are allowed to have received neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant chemotherapy that was completed at least 6 months prior to registration to the protocol
