About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Prostate Cancer focused on measuring Prostate Cancer

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)MaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Prostate cancer Rising prostate specific antigen (PSA, 3 values, each measured at least 2 weeks apart) post initial therapy (ie, radiation, prostatectomy) human leukocyte antigen A2.1 (HLA-A2.1) - Exclusion Criteria: central nervous system metastasis History of autoimmune disease

Sites / Locations

  • Rockefeller University Hospital

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

DC/PC3 vaccine

Arm Description

3 subcutaneous injections of ex vivo-generated autologous dendritic cell vaccine: 1) pulsed with apoptotic PC3 cells; 2) pulsed with apoptotic PC3-M1 cells, and 3) pulsed with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH, control antigen)

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Toxicity
adverse events

Secondary Outcome Measures

Immunogenicity
The Tritiated thymidine proliferation assay is used to assess samples collected pre-treatment and those collected post-treatment; the outcome measure is the change in counts per minute (post-treatment counts minus pre-treatment counts).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and activity of DC/PC3, a dendritic cell vaccine used as immunotherapy for prostate cancer. The vaccine is made with each participants' own immune cells obtained through blood donation. Dendritic cells are known to activate other immune cells such as T cells, that are able to mount an attack against cancer cells. The dendritic cell vaccine will be administered as injections every 2 weeks over a course of 2 months.

Intervention Name(s)
autologous dendritic cell vaccine (DC/PC3)
Intervention Description
ex vivo generated autologous dendritic cells pulsed with apoptotic PC3 cells and pulsed with apoptotic PC3-M1 cells(control apoptotic cells) and pulsed with KLH (control antigen). maximum dose of DC/PC3 that we are able to generate from their initial leukaphereses product, up to a maximum of 10 x 106 DCs. Doses in the range of 105 to 10 x 106 DCs have been used clinically without toxicity
