NCT02250014

Brief Summary

This randomized pilot phase I trial studies how well sargramostim after cryotherapy works in treating patients with prostate cancer. Biological therapies, such as sargramostim, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Cryosurgery, also known as cryotherapy, kills tumor cells by freezing them. Giving sargramostim after cryotherapy may work better in treating prostate cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in B cell response identified by Serametrix assay

    A scatter plot of each cytokine and antigen level will be created for each patient by marker to observe the behavior of the markers (rising, falling, flat, or combination over time). Patient specific pre-operative levels will be used to obtain individual baseline measures from which the difference in follow-up cytokine and antigen levels will be calculated, then a simple descriptive comparison of the mean elevation in the markers' levels across cohorts will be graphed.

    Baseline to up to 3 months after cryotherapy

  • Change in T cell responses identified by Intracellular cytokine assay and enzyme-linked immunospot

    A scatter plot of each cytokine and antigen level will be created for each patient by marker to observe the behavior of the markers (rising, falling, flat, or combination over time). Patient specific pre-operative levels will be used to obtain individual baseline measures from which the difference in follow-up cytokine and antigen levels will be calculated, then a simple descriptive comparison of the mean elevation in the markers' levels across cohorts will be graphed.

    Baseline to up to 3 months after cryotherapy

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in PSA levels in serum samples

    Up to 6 months after cryotherapy
