Experimental: RV001V
Total of 12 SC vaccinations with RV001V. The first 6 vaccinations (priming period) will be given every 2 weeks, and then the following 5 vaccinations (7 through 11) will be administered with 4 weeks between each vaccination (Maintenance period), and the last vaccination (12th) will be administered 6 months following the 11th vaccination (boosting injection).

Biological: RV001V
RV001V consists of the peptide RV001 and the adjuvant Montanide ISA 51. RV001 Vaccine 0.1 mg/mL (RV001V). |
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Total of 12 SC vaccinations with placebo. The first 6 vaccinations (priming period) will be given every 2 weeks, and then the following 5 vaccinations (7 through 11) will be administered with 4 weeks between each vaccination (Maintenance period), and the last vaccination (12th) will be administered 6 months following the 11th vaccination (boosting injection).

Other: Placebo
Placebo consist of the vaccine vehicle and the adjuvant Montanide ISA 51. Placebo |
- Time to PSA progression [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]Time to PSA progression is defined as the time from randomization to doubling of PSA from the baseline value. The time to doubling will be estimated from a log-linear regression of PSA values.
- Safety by frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Up to 16 months ]The numbers and proportions of patients with any treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE), and any serious TEAE will be summarized
- Time to initiation of a subsequent antineoplastic therapy [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
- Proportion of patients showing a PSA response from baseline [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
- Disease-free survival (DFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]time from randomization to documented clinical recurrence (distant or local), or death from any cause, censoring at date of last follow-up (FU)

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Male |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Main Inclusion Criteria:
- Biochemical recurrence (BCR) within 3 years of radical prostatectomy (RP) or definitive RT and no distant metastasis by standard CT imaging and bone scintigraphy, or locoregional recurrence (including lymph nodes) assessed by CT or multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and confirmed with negative biopsy in case of prior RT.
- In case of BCR after RP all the following criteria should apply: a. PSA ≥0.2 ng/mL, b. PSA Doubling Time (PSADT) >3 months and <12 months
- In case of BCR after RT all the following criteria should apply: a. PSA >nadir + 2 ng/mL, b. PSADT >3 months and <12 months
- ECOG performance status ≤2.
- Laboratory values obtained ≤30 days prior to first vaccination: Hemoglobin ≥5.6 mmol/L; Absolute granulocyte count ≥1.5 x 109 /L, Platelets ≥100 x 109 /L., Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN).
- Creatinine ≤1.5 x ULN.
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤2.5 x ULN.
Main Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who are receiving androgen-deprivation therapy or considered a candidate for immediate anti-androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) as judged by the investigator.
- Patients who have received prior ADT are not eligible with the exception of those that received ADT ≤36 months in duration and ≥9 months before randomization and administered only in the neoadjuvant/adjuvant setting.
- Patient is planned for salvage therapy with RT or radical prostatectomy.
- Castrate level of serum testosterone <50 ng/dL at screening.
- PSA >10 ng/mL
