Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Patients must have histologically documented adenocarcinoma of the prostate with
             progressive systemic (clinically metastatic disease documented on bone, CT or MRI
             scan) disease despite castrate levels of testosterone due to orchiectomy or LHRH
             agonist; castrate levels of testosterone must be maintained

          -  All eligible patients must have a Gleason sum based on biopsy or TURP at the time of
             registration

          -  At the time of enrollment, patients must have evidence of progressive metastatic
             disease, either:

               -  Measurable disease with any level of serum PSA OR

               -  Non-measurable disease with PSA ≥ 5 ng/ml; patients with PSA ≥ 5 ng/ml only and
                  no other radiographic evidence of metastatic prostate cancer are not eligible

          -  Definition of Measurable Disease/Target Lesions:

               -  Any lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest
                  diameter to be recorded) as ≥ 20 mm with conventional techniques: 1) physical
                  exam for clinically palpable lymph nodes and superficial skin lesions, 2) chest
                  X-ray for clearly defined lung lesions surrounded by aerated lung OR those
                  lesions measured as ≥ 10 mm with a spiral CT or MRI scan

               -  Measurable lesions (up to a maximum of 10 in number) representative of all organs
                  involved to be identified as target lesions; the sum of the longest diameters
                  (LD) for all target lesions will be calculated and reported as baseline sum LD

                    -  If measurable disease is confined to a solitary lesion and is not consistent
                       with prostate cancer, then its neoplastic nature must be confirmed by
                       histology

                    -  Ultrasound may not be used to measure tumor lesions that are not easily
                       accessible clinically

          -  Definition of Non-measurable Disease/Non-target Lesions:

               -  Non-target lesions include all other lesions not included in above, including
                  small lesions with longest diameter < 20 mm with conventional techniques or < 10
                  mm with spiral CT scan and truly non-measurable lesions, which include:

                    -  Bone lesions

                    -  Pleural or pericardial effusions, ascites

                    -  CNS lesions, leptomeningeal disease

                    -  Irradiated lesions, unless progression documented after RT

          -  Patients must have demonstrated evidence of progressive disease since the most recent
             change in therapy; progressive disease is defined as any one of the following
             (measurable disease, bone scan, or PSA progression):

               -  Measurable Disease Progression: Objective evidence of increase > 20% in the sum
                  of the longest diameters (LD) of target lesions from the time of maximal
                  regression or the appearance of one or more new lesions

               -  Bone Scan Progression: Appearance of one or more new lesions on bone scan
                  attributable to prostate cancer along with a PSA ≥ 5 ng/ml will constitute
                  progression

               -  PSA Progression: An elevated PSA (≥ 5 ng/mL) which has risen serially on at least
                  two occasions after the discontinuation of antiandrogen therapy, each at least
                  one week apart; if the confirmatory PSA (#3) value is less than screening PSA
                  (#2) value, then an additional test for rising PSA (#4) will be required to
                  document progression

                    -  The reference PSA value (#1) must be measured at the time of the
                       discontinuation of antiandrogen therapy; and at least 2 PSA measurements
                       must be made following the end of antiandrogen therapy and prior to
                       registration

                    -  (For the purposes of the nomogram calculator, the last PSA value recorded
                       prior to the initiation of treatment will be considered the baseline PSA)

          -  Progression despite standard androgen deprivation therapy (i.e., LHRH agonist and/or
             orchiectomy)

          -  All antiandrogens (e.g., flutamide, megestrol acetate [even if taken for hot flashes],
             bicalutamide and nilutamide) of any dose must be discontinued at least 4 weeks prior
             to registration; if improvement following antiandrogen withdrawal is noted,
             progression must be established using the criteria above

               -  Primary testicular androgen suppression (e.g., with an LHRH agonist) should not
                  be discontinued

          -  At least 4 weeks since any other hormonal therapy, including ketoconazole and
             aminoglutethimide; the only exception to this time frame is that 5α-reductase
             inhibitors (e.g., finasteride, dutasteride) may be discontinued any time prior to
             registration

          -  No prior cytotoxic chemotherapy, including estramustine or suramin

          -  No prior anti-angiogenesis agents, including thalidomide and bevacizumab

          -  ≥ 4 weeks since major surgery and fully recovered

          -  ≥ 4 weeks since any prior radiation (including palliative) and fully recovered

          -  ≥ 8 weeks since the last dose of Strontium-89 or Samarium

          -  Patients receiving a bisphosphonate must be on a stable dose and must have started the
             bisphosphonate ≥ 4 weeks prior to initiating protocol treatment. Patients do not have
             to be on a bisphosphonate to qualify for the study; patients may initiate
             bisphosphonate therapy after completion of Cycle 1, if clinically indicated

               -  Patients enrolled on CALGB 90202 who have documented disease progression and have
                  received at least 4 weeks of open label zoledronic acid treatment, are eligible
                  for this study.

          -  Patients on full-dose anticoagulants must be on a stable dose of warfarin and have an
             in-range INR (usually between 2 and 3) or be on a stable dose of LMW heparin; patients
             receiving anti-platelet agents are also eligible; in addition, patients who are on
             daily prophylactic aspirin or anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation are eligible

          -  No significant history of bleeding events or GI perforation

               -  Patients with a history of significant bleeding episodes (e.g., hemoptysis, upper
                  or lower GI bleeding) within 6 months of registration are not eligible

               -  Patients with a history of GI perforation within 12 months of registration are
                  not eligible.

          -  No recent (within 12 months) arterial thrombotic events, including transient ischemic
             attack (TIA), cerebrovascular accident (CVA), unstable angina or angina requiring
             surgical or medical intervention in the past 12 months, or myocardial infarction (MI);
             patients with clinically significant peripheral artery disease (i.e., claudication on
