•Histologically, cytologically or biochemically proven prostate adenocarcinoma.
•Serum testosterone < 2 nmol/l. Ongoing androgen deprivation therapy with LHRH analogues or bilateral orchidectomy.
•Progressive disease defined as a PSA rise using 3 serum PSA measurements, each obtained at least 7 days apart within the 3 months prior to start of trial. Patients who were withdrawn from anti-androgen therapy less than 6 weeks prior to inclusion in the study also require one PSA higher than the last pre-withdrawal PSA or 2 increases in PSA documented after the post-withdrawal nadir ? 4 weeks from treatment withdrawal if treated with flutamide and ? 6 weeks if treated with bicalutamide or nilutamide. Patients with progression of measurable disease (RECIST) or progression of bone disease must also fit the criterion for PSA progression.
•Life expectancy ? 3 months.
•ECOG performance status 0-2
•Adequate haematological, renal and hepatic function
•Left ventricular ejection fraction > 45%
•Written, informed consent

•Prior cytotoxic chemotherapy, diethylstilbestrol, other oestrogen, estramustine or radioisotope therapy
•Other malignant disease within the previous 5 years, other than adequately treated basal cell carcinoma.
•External beam radiotherapy, brachytherapy or cryotherapy within 6 weeks of start of study.
•Haemoglobin <10.0 g/dl, ANC <1.5 x 109, platelets <100 x 109.
•Bilirubin >ULN, AST >1.5 x ULN, ALT > 1.5 x ULN.
•Patients with serious or uncontrolled co-existent non-malignant diseases. Active or uncontrolled infection.
•History of thrombo-embolic disease
•Aspirin hypersensitivity
•Symptomatic peripheral neuropathy ? grade 2 (NCI CTC)
•Treatment with any investigational compound within 30 days
