NCT00005947

Brief Summary

Rationale: Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known if vaccine therapy is effective for prostate cancer. Purpose: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of vaccine therapy in treating patients who have metastatic prostate cancer that has not responded to hormone therapy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time to Objective Disease Progression

    The time to objective disease progression in patients with asymptomatic metastatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer treated with APC8015 (sipuleucel-T).

    36 months from randomization

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall Survival

    From randomization to 36 months

Study Arms (2)

sipuleucel-T

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Biological: sipuleucel-T

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR
Biological: Placebo

Interventions

sipuleucel-TBIOLOGICAL

Autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells, including antigen presenting cells, that have been activated in vitro with a recombinant fusion protein, PAP-GM-CSF. Treatment consist of 3 doses administered approximately 2 weeks apart.

Also known as: APC8015, Provenge
sipuleucel-T
PlaceboBIOLOGICAL

Approximately one-third of the autologous quiescent antigen presenting cells (APCs) prepared from a single leukapheresis procedure. A course of therapy consists of 3 complete doses given at approximately 2-week intervals.

Placebo

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexmale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Metastatic disease as evidenced by soft tissue and/or bony metastases.
  • Baseline PSA value of at least 5 ng/mL. All subjects must have stable or rising PSA.
  • Tumor progression after hormonal therapy.
  • Hormonal therapy consisting of castration by orchiectomy or LHRH agonists for treatment of prostate cancer. Castration levels of testosterone (\< 50 ng/dL) must be documented for all subjects including subjects who underwent orchiectomy as therapy for cancer of the prostate.
  • A subject is eligible if he initially responded to antiandrogen withdrawal (\> 25% decrease in PSA) but at the time of registration demonstrated tumor progression. A subject is eligible if he failed to respond to antiandrogen withdrawal.
  • Subjects have no cancer-related pain and do not regularly require analgesics for cancer-related pain.
  • ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1.
  • Life expectancy of at least 16 weeks.
  • Adequate hematologic, renal, and liver function.

You may not qualify if:

  • Visceral organ metastases (e.g., liver, lung, brain) or cytologically positive effusions (e.g., pleural effusions or ascites).
  • Metastatic disease expected to be in need of radiation therapy within 4 months.
  • Concurrent therapy with experimental agents.
  • Systemic corticosteroids at doses greater than 40 mg hydrocortisone per day for any reason other than treatment of prostate cancer within the previous 6 months without prior approval.
  • Please note that there are additional eligibility criteria. The study center will determine if you meet all of the criteria.
