PSA Trial Summary

This study is investigating the safety and efficacy of a vaccine directed against prostate tumor cells. The researchers are interested in evaluating the safety and tolerability of the vaccine, and the effects of the vaccine on survivability, time to measurable disease, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level in the blood, and the immune response to the vaccine. Eligible patients include those with recurrent prostate cancer as shown by elevated levels of PSA, although there is no evidence of tumors that are measurable by imaging studies. In addition, to be eligible patients must have prostate cancer that either has not been treated by hormonal therapy or is not responsive to hormonal therapy.

PSA Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: PSA/IL-2/GM-CSF vaccineExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In Stage 1 (Phase 1A), patients receive intradermal injections of PSA/IL-2/GM-CSF vaccine at Weeks 1, 2, 3, 7, 11, and 15. In Stage 2 (Phase 1B), patients will receive the same course of vaccine (induction as in Phase 1A; this will be followed in eligible patients by maintenance vaccinations alternating between IL-2 alone at Weeks 23, 31, and 39) and complete vaccine (PSA/IL-2/GM-CSF) at Weeks 27, 35, and 43.
