NCT00005039

Brief Summary

Randomized phase II trial to determine the effectiveness of vaccine therapy in treating patients who have advanced adenocarcinoma of the prostate (prostate cancer). Vaccines made from a person's prostate cancer cells may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • PSA response

    PSA response is assessed at 3 successive monthly determinations, starting 28 days after the final vaccine dose.

    Up to 3 months after the final vaccine dose

Study Arms (2)

Arm I

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive recombinant fowlpox-PSA vaccine IM at the MTD from the safety cohort every 4 weeks for 3 courses. Patients then receive recombinant vaccinia-PSA vaccine intradermally every 4 weeks for 2 courses.

Biological: recombinant fowlpox-prostate specific antigen vaccineBiological: recombinant vaccinia prostate-specific antigen vaccineOther: laboratory biomarker analysis

Arm II

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive the same vaccines as in arm I but in reverse order.

Biological: recombinant fowlpox-prostate specific antigen vaccineBiological: recombinant vaccinia prostate-specific antigen vaccineOther: laboratory biomarker analysis

Interventions

Given IM

Also known as: fowlpox-PSA vaccine, recombinant fowlpox-PSA vaccine, rF-PSA

Given intradermally

Also known as: Prostate Specific Antigen Expressing Vaccinia Virus Vaccine, rV-PSA vaccine, vaccinia prostate-specific antigen vaccine, vaccinia-prostate-specific antigen vaccine, VPSA
