Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the effect of PROSTVAC-V/TRICOM (Vaccinia) on cycle 1 followed by PROSTVAC-F/TRICOM (Fowlpox) and GM-CSF on biochemical PSA progression at 6 months.
II. To determine the change in PSA velocity pre-treatment to post-treatment.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the percentage of patients experiencing a >50% decline in serum PSA repeated at 4 weeks.
II. To evaluate tolerability and any toxicity related to treatment with PSA vaccine and GM-CSF.
III. To determine the effect of GM-CSF on PSA immediately after treatment (day 4) compared to a delayed effect (day 15).
IV. To determine the PSA nadir, and percentage of patients with undetectable PSA, treated with combined vaccine and androgen ablation therapy over 12 months.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive vaccinia-PSA-TRICOM vaccine subcutaneously (SC) on day 1 and sargramostim (GM-CSF) SC on days 1-4 during weeks 1-4. Beginning in week 5, patients receive fowlpox-PSA-TRICOM vaccine SC on day 1 and GM-CSF SC on days 1-4. Treatment with fowlpox-PSA-TRICOM vaccine and GM-CSF repeats every 4 weeks for 3 courses (weeks 5-16). Beginning in week 17, patients receive fowlpox-PSA-TRICOM vaccine and GM-CSF as above every 12 weeks in the absence of clinical or biochemical disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients with biochemical or clinical disease progression receive androgen ablation therapy comprising oral bicalutamide once daily for 1 month and goserelin SC once every 4 weeks in addition to fowlpox-PSA-TRICOM vaccine and GM-CSF. Treatment continues in the absence of further clinical or biochemical disease progression.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually for 10 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 45 patients will be accrued for this study within 6 months.

- Serum total bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase within normal institutional limits
- SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) =< 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal
Patients cannot have evidence of immunosuppression:
- Patients must be human immunodeficiency virus sero-negative due to the potential for severe reactions to vaccinia and the need for an intact immune system to respond to the immunization
- Patients must not have active autoimmune diseases such as Addison's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, systemic lupus erythematous, Sjogren syndrome, scleroderma, myasthenia gravis, Goodpasture syndrome or active Grave's disease; patients with a history of autoimmunity that has required systemic immunosuppressive therapy or has impaired organ function including CNS, heart, lungs, kidneys, skin, and GI tract are ineligible; patients receiving replacement thyroid hormone would be eligible
- No concurrent use of systemic steroids, except for local (topical, nasal, or inhaled) steroid use; steroid eye drops are contraindicated for at least 2 weeks before vaccinia vaccination and at least 4 weeks post vaccinia vaccination
- Patients must be hepatitis B and hepatitis C negative
- Patients must have a normal PT/INR within 4 weeks prior to randomization
- Patients must not be receiving any other investigational agents or receiving concurrent anticancer therapy
- No uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements; because of the recently recognized risk of cardiac inflammation after vaccinia, patients with clinically significant cardiomyopathy are excluded; patients must have recovered from any intercurrent illness and any acute toxicity related to prior therapy (i.e., surgery and/or radiation)
- Patients must use a safe and effective method of contraception to prevent virus transmission; the potential risk to spermatogenesis and fetal development after paternal immunization with this vaccine is not known; patients must agree to avoid fathering a child and use a latex barrier with adequate contraception prior to study entry and for at least 4 months following the last vaccine injection

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Proportion of Patients Free of PSA Progression at 6 Months (Prior to the Start of Androgen Ablation)
Time Frame: Assessed at 6 months
|
For patients who achieved a > 50% decline in PSA, an increase in PSA value by 50% over the nadir, confirmed by a second PSA two weeks later is considered progressive disease. The PSA rise must be at least 5 ng/mL or back to pretreatment baseline, whichever is greater. Changes in PSA below 5 ng/mL will not be considered assessable for progression. For patients whose PSA has not decreased by 50%, an increase in PSA value > 50% of baseline (on trial) or nadir PSA, whichever is lower, confirmed by a repeat PSA two weeks later is considered progressive disease. The PSA must have risen by at least 5 ng/mL. |
Assessed at 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Proportion of Patients With PSA Response
Time Frame: Assessed monthly during the first 24 weeks and then every 3 months for a maximum total of 24 months
|
PSA response is defined as complete biochemical response or partial response. Complete Response: A PSA < 0.2 ng/mL confirmed by a repeat PSA one month later is considered a complete biochemical response for patients with prior radical prostatectomy. A PSA < 1 ng/mL on three separate occasions taken at least one month apart is considered a complete biochemical response in patients with radiation therapy only. Partial Response: A reduction in PSA by > 50% from baseline, confirmed by repeat PSA 1 month later. |
Assessed monthly during the first 24 weeks and then every 3 months for a maximum total of 24 months
|
Difference Between Day 4 PSA Level and Day 15 PSA Level
Time Frame: Assessed at day 4 and day 15 of cycle 1
|
PSA level was assessed on Day 4 and Day 15 of cycle 1, and a comparison between the two measurements was done.
|
Assessed at day 4 and day 15 of cycle 1
|
The Difference Between PSA Slopes Before and After Treatment
Time Frame: Assessed monthly during the first 24 weeks and then every 3 months for a maximum total of 24 months
|
PSA slopes were assessed by multiple PSA values obtained prior to registration and during treatment.
Only patients who completed at least 3 months of treatment were included in this analysis.
The PSA slopes were calculated by a piecewise linear model using the three or four PSA values obtained prior to registration and PSA measurements obtained every 4 weeks for the first six months of treatment.
Natural log transformed PSA levels were used in this analysis, and the difference between PSA slopes before and after treatment was calculated.
