Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |

Placebo Comparator: Placebo
12 patients in the placebo Arm for 8 weeks followed by DC/LNCAP, DC/LNCaP-M1 and DC/KLH immunizations over 8 weeks.
|
Subcutaneous injection of vaccine vehicle only (5% DMSO in normal saline), followed by cross-over to Arm 1 design.
|
Experimental: DC/LNCaP
12 patients, receiving DC/LNCaP, DC/LNCaP-M1 and DC/KLH immunizations over 8 weeks
|
Subcutaneous injection of DC/LNCaP, DC/LNCaP-M1, DC/KLH

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Adverse Event
Time Frame: End of blinded phase (wk 9)
|
Occurrence of adverse events (AE) was compared between the placebo and vaccine groups during the blinded phase (the 1st 9 weeks).
At the end of this phase, all were unblinded, and those who received placebo crossed over to now receive vaccine.
All serious AEs and any other AEs that occurred 5 times or more are reported.
The exact binomial test was used to compare the occurrence of each AE between groups.
|
End of blinded phase (wk 9)
|
Immunogenicity of the DC/LNCaP Vaccine. Pre- vs Post-vaccination Bulk T Cell Proliferation (3H Thymidine Incorporation) by Type of Antigen. The "Number" Indicated is the Median Difference of Post-Pre, of Each Antigen Group.
Time Frame: pre- vs post-vaccination. Pre-vaccination T cells were collected at Wk 0 and post-vaccination T cells were collected at Wk 13
|
The difference between post minus pre-vaccination bulk T cell proliferation was calculated for each antigen.
|
pre- vs post-vaccination. Pre-vaccination T cells were collected at Wk 0 and post-vaccination T cells were collected at Wk 13
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in PSA Slope, Pre- vs Post-vaccination.
Time Frame: pre- vs post- vaccination PSA slopes.
|
To model the evolution of PSA (in log-scale) during the three study phases (pre-vaccine, vaccine, and post-vaccine phases), a mixed linear spline model was used.
Two knots (one at the start of the vaccine phase and the other at the start of the post-vaccine phase) were used to directly quantify the differences in slopes between each phase.
To account for the heterogeneous treatment effect and the repeated measures structure, random effects are incorporated into the model.
For the general model, random effects for the intercept, slope and the first knot were considered.

pre- vs post- vaccination PSA slopes.
