Official title
A Phase II Study of Neoadjuvant rFowlpox-PSA (L155)-TRICOM (Prostvac-F/TRICOM) in Combination With rVaccinia-PSA (L155)-TRICOM (Prostvac-V/TRICOM) in Men With Prostate Cancer Undergoing Treatment With Radical Prostatectomy
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Background: \- Some men with prostate cancer have their prostate glands removed. The cancer can still come back. Researchers want to know if receiving a vaccine before prostate removal surgery can lead to less recurrence. Objective: \- To see if a vaccine and booster shots given to men with prostate cancer before surgery changes the immune cells in the prostate gland. Eligibility: \- Men age 18 and older who have prostate cancer that has not spread, and who want to have their prostate glands removed as treatment. Design: * Participants will be screened by their regular cancer care. They may have a small piece of prostate removed. * Participants must practice effective birth control before and during the study treatment and for 1 month after the last vaccine booster. * Participants will have a medical history, physical exam, and blood and liver tests. They will be asked about how they perform daily activities. * Participants will have a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the prostate. The scanner is a metal cylinder in a strong magnetic field. Participants will lie on a table that slides in and out of the scanner. * Participants will be injected with the vaccine, most likely in the leg. They will be injected with the vaccine booster 3 times over several weeks. * At each booster visit, participants will have a medical history, physical exam, and blood and liver tests. * Participants will have another MRI. Then they will have surgery to remove their prostate. * Participants will have 2 follow-up visits during the year after surgery. They will have a medical history, physical exam, and blood test.
