Sipuleucel-T Based Autologous Cellular Immunotherapy for Advanced Prostate Cancer

Pilot Trial to Investigate Immune Response to an Extended Course of Sipuleucel-T Immunotherapy in Patients With Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer (OU-SCC-EXCITE)

Proposed immunotherapy with an extended course of Sipuleucel-T treatment may induce a more robust immune response and improve the anti-cancer efficacy of Sipuleucel-T in patients with metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC).

This open-label, pilot trial aims to evaluate the feasibility of Sipuleucel-T given in three doses at weeks 0, 2, and 12-14; and to investigate the changes in immune response in mCRPC patients who are getting an extended course of Sipuleucel-T treatment.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Men ≥ 18 years of age
2. Prostate cancer with history of metastasis
3. Candidates for Sipuleucel-T treatment are defined as those with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer
4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
5. Life expectancy of ≥ 6 months

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Previously received Sipuleucel-T (Provenge®)
2. Known malignancies other than prostate cancer likely to require treatment within 6 months following registration
3. A requirement for systemic immunosuppressive therapy (>10mg Prednisone daily or equivalent)
4. A history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to Sipuleucel-T or GM-CSF
5. Any infection requiring antibiotic therapy within 1 week prior to registration
