RATIONALE: Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs, such as ketoconazole, may stop the adrenal glands from making androgens. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of prostate cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving ketoconazole and hydrocortisone together with lenalidomide may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving ketoconazole and hydrocortisone together with lenalidomide works in treating patients with prostate cancer that did not respond to hormone therapy.
OBJECTIVES: Primary * Determine the objective response frequency in patients with hormone-refractory progressive prostate cancer treated with ketoconazole, hydrocortisone, and lenalidomide. Secondary * Determine the effect of this regimen on time to clinical progression in these patients. * Determine the safety of this regimen in these patients. * Determine the effects of this regimen on serum cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha, basic fibroblast growth factor, plasma soluble interleukin (IL)-2 receptor, IL-8, and IL-12, as well as serum vascular endothelial growth factor levels in these patients. * Determine the co-stimulatory effects of this regimen on dendritic cells and CD4-positive, CD25-positive, T-regulatory cells in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a nonrandomized, open-label study. Patients receive oral ketoconazole 3 times daily and oral hydrocortisone twice daily on days 1-28 and oral lenalidomide once daily on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo blood collection periodically during study for evaluation of prostate cancer-specific immune response. Blood samples are assessed by serum analysis, flow cytometry, real-time PCR, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay techniques to detect and quantify different cytokines, antiangiogenic markers, dendritic cells, and specific T-regulatory cells. After completion of study therapy, patients are followed at 30 days. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 34 patients will be accrued for this study.

Number of Patients With a Partial Response, Progressive Disease, or Stable Disease Based on Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) or Measurable Disease
Patients will be evaluated for clinical benefit monthly with PSA values.Patients who are benefiting from treatment are eligible for additional cycles of treatment. Thereafter, therapy will continue until criteria for progressive disease are met. Response is based on the RECIST criteria from the National Cancer institute. Complete Response (CR) disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR) \>= 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions from baseline; Progressive Disease (PD) \>= increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions from baseline; Stable Disease (SD) neither sufficient for partial response nor sufficient increase for progressive disease.
Time frame: 28 days
