Approximately 45 newly diagnosed, previously untreated patients with clinically localized, high-risk prostate carcinoma will be entered into this trial. These patients will receive neoadjuvant hormone therapy (buserelin 9.9 mg subcutaneously x 1 injection with flutamide 250 mg orally T.I.D. for the first 4 weeks only) for 12 weeks in combination with OGX-011 (a 2'MOE phosphorothioate clusterin antisense oligonucleotide) weekly on a 4 week cycle for 3 courses. For week one, cycle one only, OGX-011 will be given on Days 1, 3 and 5. OGX-011 is given at a dose of 640 mg by intravenous infusion over 2 hours. Radical prostatectomy will take place within 14 days of the last dose of OGX-011.
