Background:
- Enzalutamide is a well tolerated hormone therapy that is used to treat advanced prostate cancer. It is given to help kill cancer cells and limit cancer cell growth. A new possible way of treating prostate cancer is using a therapeutic cancer vaccine (immune stimulating therapy) that may help activate the immune system against the cancer. The immune stimulating vaccine will help white blood cells recognize and kill the cancer cells throughout the body. This vaccine therapy has been tested in hundreds of patients and is very well tolerated. Researchers want to see whether this vaccine, given with enzalutamide, is more effective at treating advanced prostate cancer than enzalutamide alone.
Objectives:
- To compare the safety and effectiveness of enzalutamide with and without vaccine therapy for advanced prostate cancer.
Key Eligibility:
- Men at least 18 years of age who have advanced castration sensitive prostate cancer.
- Patients must have testosterone within the normal range
- No evidence of metastatic prostate cancer on computed tomography (CT) or Bone scan
- No history of autoimmune diseases
- No previous immunotherapy within 3 years
Design:
- Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Imaging studies will be used to monitor the cancer before treatment.
- Participants will be separated into two groups. One group will have enzalutamide and the study vaccine. The other group will have enzalutamide alone.
- All participants will take enzalutamide once a day. They will take the drug for 3 months. This form of intermittent therapy is common in this population of patients.
- The vaccine group of participants will receive the new study vaccine. They will have a single injection on the first day of the first study cycle. There will be regular booster injections afterward. There will be one injection during the third week of treatment, and one in the fifth week. The vaccine will then be given every 4 weeks until 21 weeks have passed.
- Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies.

- Tumor Growth Rate [ Time Frame: 7 months ]Growth rate was measured using the growth rate equation -f(t) = exp (-d*t) + exp (g*t) -1 where exp is the base of the natural algorithm, e = 2.7182 and t is days since treatment started. The tumor growth rate equation measures Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) rise over time. The UOM is unitless because this is a way to measure PSA kinetics.
- Mean Pretreatment Plasma Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Concentration 30 Days After the Start of Course 1 and Course 2 of Enzalutamide [ Time Frame: 30 Days After the Start of Course 1 and Course 2 of Enzalutamide ]VEGF was measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay. The lower limit of quantitation of assay was 9.0 pg/ml.
- Median Testosterone After 84 Days of Enzalutamide [ Time Frame: 84 days ]Normal testosterone is 270-1070 nd/dL.
- Percent Change in Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) After 84 Days of Enzalutamide in Course 1 [ Time Frame: 84 days ]Median PSA change would be considered optimal.
- Number of Participants With Serious and Non-serious Adverse Events Assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.0) [ Time Frame: Date treatment consent signed to date off study, approximately 43 months and 13 days for Arm A, and 78 months and 6 days for Arm B. ]Here is the count of participants with serious and non-serious adverse events assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.0). A non-serious adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence. A serious adverse event is an adverse event or suspected adverse reaction that results in death, a life-threatening adverse drug experience, hospitalization, disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect or important medical events that jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the previous outcomes mentioned.
- Median Time Until Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Recovery From Baseline Following Course 1 and Course 2 of Enzalutamide [ Time Frame: up to 41 months ]PSA recovery is defined as the return above baseline PSA in participants with normal testosterone and non-metastatic, castration sensitive prostate cancer.
