Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a single center, open label, Phase 2 study. Subjects will be treated with 3 infusions of sipuleucel-T prior to a scheduled radical prostatectomy (RP) surgery. To assess the immune response following treatment with sipuleucel-T, tissue from the prostatectomy specimen will be compared with tissue from the core biopsy specimen obtained prior to treatment with sipuleucel T. Following RP, subjects will be randomized to receive either a booster infusion of sipuleucel T or no further treatment with sipuleucel-T (i.e., booster: no booster).

Experimental: Sipuleucel-T with Booster
Subjects were to receive 3 infusions of sipuleucel-T 12 weeks prior to RP, and then an additional booster infusion 13 weeks following RP.
Biological: Sipuleucel-T with Booster
Sipuleucel-T is an autologous active cellular immunotherapy product designed to stimulate an immune response against prostate cancer. Sipuleucel-T consists of autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), including antigen presenting cells (APCs), that have been activated in vitro with a recombinant fusion protein.
Experimental: Sipuleucel-T without Booster
Subjects were to receive 3 infusions of sipuleucel-T 12 weeks prior to RP, with no further sipuleucel-T treatment.
Biological: Sipuleucel-T without Booster
Sipuleucel-T is an autologous active cellular immunotherapy product designed to stimulate an immune response against prostate cancer. Sipuleucel-T consists of autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), including antigen presenting cells (APCs), that have been activated in vitro with a recombinant fusion protein.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in the Number of Infiltrating CD3+ T Cells Within the Prostate Tissue Between the Biopsy and the Post-RP Tissue Specimens in Each Subject
Time Frame: Pre-treatment biopsy (baseline) and post-RP (12 weeks post-treatment)
CD3+ T cell infiltration within prostate tissue was quantified using immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining techniques. Cells were enumerated per unit area (cells/μm2). For post-RP tissue specimens, three areas of interest were identified: Benign tissue, tumor tissue, and tumor interface tissue.
Pre-treatment biopsy (baseline) and post-RP (12 weeks post-treatment)

Secondary Outcome Measures
