Brief Summary
This study evaluates the efficacy, anti-tumor effect, and immunogenicity of neoadjuvant enoblituzumab given before radical prostatectomy. Patients will be randomized to enoblituzumab for a total of 12 weeks beginning 84 days before radical prostatectomy or standard of care arms.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Recurrence-free survival (RFS)
Number of participants with RFS, defined as from randomization to any metastasis events, pelvic lymph node recurrence, detectable prostate-specific antigen (PSA) (PSA \>= 0.2 ng/mL, confirmed by a second PSA of the same level or higher), or start of salvage or adjuvant therapy based on PSA criteria of 0.1 ng/mL or higher, or death for any cause, whichever occurs first.
3 years post-prostatectomy

Study Arms (2)
Enoblituzumab
EXPERIMENTALMen with localized intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer will be given neoadjuvant Enoblituzumab 15mg/kg IV every 2 weeks for 12 weeks, followed by a radical prostatectomy on day 84, with follow-up visits 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, and 9 months post-prostatectomy. PSA values will be tracked for 3 years post-prostatectomy.
Standard of Care
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients will undergo standard of care radical prostatectomy within 4-8 weeks of randomization.
Interventions
Enoblituzumab 15mg/kg IV (in the vein) every 2 weeks for 12 weeks prior to radical prostatectomy on day 84.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- To be eligible for this study, patients must meet all of the following criteria:
- Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate (clinical stage T1c-T3b, N0, M0) without involvement of lymph nodes, bone, or visceral organs by CT or NM bone scan. N1 by PSMA allowed with up to 3 LNs each ≤1 cm. If there is no frank bone disease, but PSMA scan and CT scan are in discordance, then investigators will discuss.
- Initial prostate biopsy, obtained within 3 months of enrollment, is available for central pathologic review, and is confirmed to show at least 3 positive cores (at least 1 core with at least 50% disease involvement with ≥4+3=7 disease) and a Gleason sum of ≥8 (or 4+3=7 with at least 1 additional high-risk feature such as PSA\>20 or cT3)
- Radical prostatectomy has been scheduled
- Age ≥18 years
- ECOG performance status 0-1, or Karnofsky score ≥ 70% (see Appendix A)
- Adequate bone marrow, hepatic, and renal function:
- WBC \>3,000 cells/mm3
- ANC \>1,500 cells/mm3
- Hemoglobin \>9.0 g/dL
- Platelet count \>100,000 cells/mm3
- Serum creatinine \<1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Serum bilirubin \<1.5 × ULN
- ALT \<3 × ULN
- AST \<3 × ULN
- +4 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- To be eligible for this study, patients should not meet any of the following criteria:
- Presence of known lymph node involvement on CT (N1 by PSMA allowed with up to 3 LNs each ≤1 cm) or distant metastases by CT and NM bone scan
- Other histologic types of prostate cancers such as ductal, sarcomatous, lymphoma, small cell, and neuroendocrine tumors
- Prior radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, biologic therapy, or chemotherapy for prostate cancer
- Prior immunotherapy/vaccine therapy for prostate cancer
- Prior use of experimental agents for prostate cancer
- Concomitant treatment with other hormonal therapy or 5α-reductase inhibitors
- Current use of systemic corticosteroids or use of systemic corticosteroids within 4 weeks of enrollment (inhaled corticosteroids for asthma or COPD are permitted as are other non-systemic steroids such as topical corticosteroids)
- History or presence of autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppression (including but not limited to: inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitis, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, multiple sclerosis, hemolytic anemia, Sjögren syndrome, and sarcoidosis)
- History of malignancy within the last 3 years, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancers and superficial bladder cancer
- Uncontrolled major active infectious, cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, or psychiatric illnesses that would make the patient a poor study candidate
- Known prior or current history of HIV and/or hepatitis B/C, with the exception of patients who have been successfully treated for hepatitis B/C (i.e. documented confirmation of cure at least 6 months after initial treatment).
