Trial Outcomes & Findings for Two-Arm Study of a DNA Vaccine Encoding Prostatic Acid Phosphatase (PAP) in Patients With Non-Metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer (NCT NCT00849121)

NCT ID: NCT00849121

Last Updated: 2019-11-21

Results Overview

The number and severity of toxicity incidents occurring between the pre-treatment and the final off-study evaluation will be collected and assigned an attribution. The toxicities observed will be summarized in terms of types and severities by the NCI Common Terminology Criteria version 3 for each study arm. The number of subjects experiencing grade 2 or higher autoimmune events or grade 3 or higher toxicities felt to be at least possibly related to pTVG-HP with GM-CSF study treatment will be compared between the two arms.

1: pTVG-HP With rhGM-CSF Every 3 Months Post Week 12
Intradermal vaccinations of a DNA vaccine encoding PAP, with GM-CSF as an adjuvant given every 2 weeks for the first 12 weeks, then every 12 weeks until disease progression. pTVG-HP with rhGM-CSF: pTVG-HP (100 µg) with rhGM-CSF (200 µg) administered intradermally (i.d.) biweekly for 6 total doses, followed by pTVG-HP (100 µg) with rhGM-CSF (200 µg) administered intradermally every 3 months until radiographic disease progression
2: pTVG-HP With rhGM-CSF Variable Dosing Post Week 12
Intradermal vaccinations of a DNA vaccine encoding PAP, with GM-CSF as an adjuvant given every 2 weeks for the first 12 weeks, then given every 2-week, 4-week, or 3-month intervals as dictated by cellular immune response measurement. pTVG-HP with rhGM-CSF: pTVG-HP (100 µg) with rhGM-CSF (200 µg) administered i.d. biweekly for a minimum of 6 total doses, and continuing biweekly until evidence of T-cell immune response, and then following a booster schedule as defined by evidence of T-cell immune response.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 1 year.

The number of patients with a T-cell immune response will be determined for each study arm. An immune response will be defined as a PAP-specific T-cell frequency or proliferation index at 1 year that is at least 3-fold higher than the baseline T-cell frequency or proliferation index.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Starting at Treatment Day 0 and continuing every 4-6 weeks until end of treatment period, an average of 2 years

The number of subjects who experience at least a two-fold increase in the PSA doubling time will be documented for each study arm. The PSA doubling time will be calculated using all PSA values obtained starting on Treatment Day 0 and continuing to end of treatment period and compared to the PSA doubling time collected at study entry prior to beginning study treatment.
