Study Summary
Background: Some people who have been treated for prostate cancer still have high prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. This may indicate cancer. These people have non-metastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer (nmCSPC) or biochemical recurrent prostate cancer. Researchers think the immune system can be taught to fight and kill cancer cells. They think an immunotherapy vaccine called prostvac could help reduce PSA levels in people with this type of prostate cancer. Objective: To test if prostvac can decrease tumor growth rate as measured by PSA compared to getting surveillance alone. Eligibility: Men ages 18 or older who have nmCSPC or biochemical recurrent prostate cancer Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Bone scan Computed tomography (CT) scan, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) scan: They lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. Electrocardiogram: Soft electrodes are stuck to the skin to record heart signals. Participants will be part of 1 of 2 arms: Arm A will get prostvac for 6 months. Arm B will have surveillance for 6 months followed by prostvac for 6 months. During the prostvac period, participants will get prostvac as a shot under the skin on weeks 1, 3, and 5, and then monthly for a total of 5 months. Participants will have follow-up visits at least every month until they recover from prostvac side effects or their cancer worsens. Visits may include repeats of screening tests. Participants will be followed for up to 15 years. They will have a physical exam every year for the first 5 years. They will have phone calls once a year.
Primary Outcome
Tumor growth rate was measured using the equation PSA (log growth rate) +/- SE (standard error).
