Must not have
Prior hormone therapy for prostate cancer including orchiectomy, antiandrogens, ketoconazole, or estrogens (5-alpha reductase inhibitors allowed), or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists/antagonists.
Known evidence of an active infection requiring systemic therapy such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), active hepatitis, or fungal infection.

Summary

This trial is testing the side effects of two drugs, daratumumab and FMS inhibitor JNJ-40346527, before surgery in treating patients with high-risk prostate cancer.

Who is the study for?
Men with high-risk, localized or locally advanced prostate cancer that can be surgically removed and have not had previous treatments for it. They must have a normal testosterone level, no metastatic disease, and be fit for surgery. Participants should agree to use condoms during sexual activity while on the study drug and for 3 months after the last dose.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing daratumumab or FMS inhibitor JNJ-40346527 given before surgery to see if they improve outcomes in patients with high-risk prostate cancer. Daratumumab is an immunotherapy monoclonal antibody, while JNJ-40346527 blocks enzymes needed by tumor cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune system reactions, possible organ inflammation due to daratumumab's action on the body's immune response, as well as risks associated with blocking cell growth enzymes from JNJ-40346527.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm B (FMS inhibitor JNJ-40346527)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients receive FMS inhibitor JNJ-40346527 PO BID for 4-5 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After a 3 day wash-out period, patients undergo radical prostatectomy.
Group II: Arm A (daratumumab)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients receive daratumumab IV over 4-8 hours once weekly for 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo radical prostatectomy during week 6.
