The PROTECT-PROvenge Treatment and Early Cancer Treatment trial is a Phase IIIB trial for patients with hormone sensitive prostate cancer. The study is being conducted at over 15 participating centers throughout the US. The purpose of the study is to determine if Provenge is effective for treatment of early stage, non-metastatic prostate cancer. If you have rising PSA after radical prostatectomy, but have no evidence yet of metastasis, you may be eligible. The study compares the active vaccine to placebo (your dendritic cells that were not activated in the laboratory) to determine whether the product delays the time until the cancer progresses.

This is a prospective, double-blind, controlled, randomized trial of immunotherapy with autologous PAP-loaded dendritic cells (Provenge™) in patients with non-metastatic prostate cancer. Patients qualifying for this study are men who have previously undergone a prostatectomy and whose only sign of disease recurrence is a rise in serum Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA).
The primary efficacy endpoint is serologic (PSA) progression. The secondary endpoint is time-to progression (i.e. androgen-independent progression, distant failure, local recurrence). Data from this study will be combined with data from a similar study to provide greater statistical power to detect a difference in the secondary efficacy endpoint. An interim analysis is planned for safety parameters only.
The treatment schema is presented in Figure 1. Following short-term open-label treatment with a LH-RH (luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone)-analogue, patients are randomized to blinded treatment assignments of either the Active Vaccine or Control Vaccine Group in a 2:1 ratio. Patients undergo three leukaphereses on alternate weeks (Weeks 0, 2 and 4 post randomization). Leukapheresis material is shipped to regional cell-processing centers for generating PAP-loaded dendritic cells. Two days following leukapheresis, patients receive an infusion with either Provenge™ or control infusion.
Patients complete an elicited symptom log at specified times during the study aimed to compare androgen suppression-related side effects during periods with and without androgen suppression. Patients are evaluated periodically for safety and efficacy endpoints.
Median time from randomization to serologic progression (PSA rise to > 3 ng/mL) is reported from similar patient series in the literature as 11.6 months (range 3-24 months). At the time patients develop serologic progression they are eligible for one booster vaccination with cell product, and continue to be observed until PSA exceeds a threshold value as specified in Section 6.3.1. Once this PSA threshold value is reached, patients are retreated with androgen ablation. Bone scans are repeated every other year unless clinically indicated earlier; serum PSA and testosterone are monitored quarterly by a central lab until the patient completes the study or withdraws.
Approximately 159 patients will be accrued in 10-15 urologic/oncology care institutions in the United States. The anticipated patient accrual period is 18 months.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 19 Years to 79 Years |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Male |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Patients are eligible if they have:
Prior hormone treatment for an earlier episode of PSA relapse is neither an exclusion nor an inclusion requirement for study entry. Patients who have previously been treated with adjuvant or salvage radiation following radical prostatectomy, or with either LH-RH-analogue (i.e., leuprolide or goserelin acetate) or non-steroidal anti-androgen therapy (i.e., bicalutamide 150 mg/day) for a prior PSA relapse, may enter the study provided:
