    • Currently receiving 1st line hormonal therapy with LHRH agonists or other hormonal treatments

    • ECOG performance status of 0, 1, or 2

    Exclusion Criteria:
    • Patients with abnormal renal function as evidenced by either a serum creatinine determination 1.5 x or greater above the upper limit of normal or by a calculated creatinine clearance of 60 ml/minute or less

    • Corrected (adjusted for serum albumin) serum calcium concentration < 8.0 mg/dl (2.00 mmol/L)

    • WBC<3.0x1'000'000'000, ANC < 1500/mm3, Hgb<8.0 g/dL, platelets < 75 x 1'000'000'000/L.
