Phase II GM-CSF Plus Mitoxantrone in Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the combination of mitoxantrone and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer.
