Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies the impact of radiation therapy on the immunogenicity of Sipuleucel-T. Patients with castration recurrent prostate cancer who are eligible for treatment with Sipuleucel-T and who have bone metastases are eligible.

Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess whether radiation therapy (RT) increases the immunogenic potential or sipuleucel-T in participants with castration recurrent prostate cancer.

II. To assess systemic changes to the immune system and genetic changes to immune cells in participants treated by the combination of RT and sipuleucel-T.

III. To assess the induction of antigen-specific immune responses to prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), cancer/testis antigen 1B (NY-ESO-1) and antigens that have proven to be released by radiation (such as, heat shock protein 90 [HSP-90], calreticulin, etc.).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess adverse event rates in participants receiving the high-dose radiation and sipuleucel-T therapy.

II. To assess prostate-specific antigen (PSA) changes. III. To assess overall and cancer specific survival.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo single-fraction radiation therapy to at least 1 bone lesion 2 days after the first sipuleucel-T dose.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3 and 6 months and then annually thereafter.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Capacity of T cells to proliferate in response to antigen stimulation, assessed with a tritiated thymidine incorporation assay and an interferon-gamma enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot assay	Will be assessed using Wilcoxon Signed Rank and McNemar's tests for continuous and dichotomous endpoints respectively.	Up to 6 months
Primary	Change in antigen-specific humoral response measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay	Will be assessed using Wilcoxon Signed Rank and McNemar's tests for continuous and dichotomous endpoints respectively.	Baseline up to 6 months
Primary	Change in the genetics of immune effectors, measured with ribonucleic acid from monocytic and lymphocytic cells	Will be assessed using Wilcoxon Signed Rank and McNemar's tests for continuous and dichotomous endpoints respectively.	Baseline to 6 months
Primary	Quantification of lymphocyte subsets and NK cells	Will be assessed using Wilcoxon Signed Rank and McNemar's tests for continuous and dichotomous endpoints respectively.	Baseline to 6 months
Secondary	Adverse event rates assessed using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4	The Clopper-Pearson one-sided upper 95% confidence limit will be provided. Associations between baseline characteristics and presence of an adverse event will be considered using the Wilcoxon rank sum test (or Cochran-Armitage test for trend) and Fisher's exact test respectively. Bar charts, scatterplots and other descriptive and graphical methods will also be utilized.	Up to 6 months
Secondary	Cancer-specific survival	Will be depicted using Kaplan Meier methods.	Up to 2 years
Secondary	Change in PSA		Baseline up to 6 months
Secondary	Overall survival	Will be depicted using Kaplan Meier methods.	Up to 2 years
