PrTK03 Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether adding ProstAtak immunotherapy to radiation therapy can improve outcomes for patients with localized prostate cancer at high or intermediate risk for the disease coming back.

Who is the study for?
Men with intermediate-high risk localized prostate cancer, who have a good performance status (able to carry out daily activities), and meet specific criteria like PSA levels or Gleason score. They shouldn't have low-risk or high-risk factors beyond one, no regional lymph node involvement or distant metastases, no prior prostate cancer treatments except for certain types, and can't be on immunosuppressive drugs.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing ProstAtak® Immunotherapy combined with standard radiation therapy against a placebo plus radiation. Participants are randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to either the treatment group or control group. The goal is to see if ProstAtak® improves outcomes by stimulating the immune system to fight cancer cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
ProstAtak®, when used with radiation therapy, has previously shown synergy without added toxicity; however, potential side effects may include typical reactions related to immunotherapies such as flu-like symptoms, fatigue, skin reactions at injection sites and possible mild fever.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Disease free survival defined as the time from randomization until the date of the first failure event will be compared for the ProstAtak® arm versus the placebo control arm. The analyses will be based on the intent to treat population.
Secondary outcome measures
PSA nadir will be compared for the ProstAtak® arm versus the placebo control arm.
Patient reported Health Related Quality of Life outcomes will be collected using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC-26) questionnaire. The change in QOL over time will be compared for the ProstAtak® arm versus the placebo control arm.
Prostate cancer specific survival and overall survival will be compared for the ProstAtak® arm versus the placebo control arm.
