Current Primary Outcome Measures (submitted: September 25, 2018)

To assess the efficacy of sipuleucel-T in reducing histopathologic reclassification to a higher Gleason grade in prostate cancer subjects on active surveillance (AS) [ Time Frame: Once all subjects have completed at least 3 years following randomization ]

Proportion of subjects without histological reclassification (Gleason group upgrade) within 36 months of randomization as determined by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) o Upgrade is defined as subjects at randomization with either International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) Grade Group 1 (Gleason 3+3) upgraded to Grade Group 2 (Gleason 3+4) or higher or subjects at randomization with Grade Group 2 upgraded to Grade Group 3 (Gleason 4+3) or higher.

Descriptive Information

• Brief Title: Open- Label Trial of Sipuleucel-T Administered to Active Surveillance Patients for Newly Diagnosed Prostate Cancer
• Official Title: A Randomized Phase 3, Open-Label Trial of Sipuleucel-T Administered To Patients On Active Surveillance For Newly Diagnosed Prostate Cancer
• Brief Summary: The ProVent study is a randomized, open-label study designed to assess the efficacy of sipuleucel-T in reducing the progression of lower risk non-metastatic prostate cancer compared to subjects followed on active surveillance as standard of care.

Detailed Description

The ProVent Study is designed to look at subjects who recieve sipuleucel-T compared to control subjects followed on AS. The study will enroll subjects being followed by AS and initially diagnosed within 12 months prior to Screening with either ISUP Grade Group 1 or 2 adenocarcinoma of the prostate.

The Screening Phase will begin at the completion of the informed consent process and continues until randomization. After Screening assessments are completed, eligible subjects will be randomized 2:1 to the sipuleucel-T arm or the control arm. Subjects randomized to sipuleucel-T arm will receive product as described in the sipuleucel-T approved label.

Subjects will undergotheir first leukapheresis within 60 days of randomization.

Subjects randomized to the control arm will be followed on AS. The Active Phase will begin at randomization and continues through completion of the end of Active Phase study visit (within 30 days of Biopsy 2). Once a subject from either the sipuleucel-T or control arms completes the end of Active Phase visit, they will enter the Follow-up Phase and complete Follow-up Phase visits every 6 months starting from their last Active Phase visit. The Follow-up Phase visits end when the last subject enrolled completes Biopsy 2 and end of Active Phase visit or until the study is terminated by the sponsor.

Study Design

Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description:

Subjects will be randomized 2:1 to the sipuleucel-T arm or the control arm.Subjects randomized to sipuleucel-T arm will receive 3 infusions of sipuleucel-T at approximately 2-week intervals. Subjects randomized to the control arm will be followed on AS as standard of care described in the schedule of events.

Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment

• Condition: Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate

Intervention

Biological: sipuleucel-T

Sipuleucel-T is an autologous cell product consisting of antigen presenting cells (APCs) loaded with PA2024, a recombinant fusion protein composed of prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), linked to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF).

Study Arms

• Experimental: Treatment Group: Sipuleucel-T
  Sipuleucel-T is an autologous cellular immunotherapy available as a suspension for intravenous infusion. Subjects randomized to sipuleucel-T arm will receive 3 infusions of sipuleucel-T at approximately 2-week intervals.
  Intervention: Biological: sipuleucel-T
• No Intervention: Control Arm: Active Surveillance
  Subjects randomized to the control arm will be followed on Active Surveillance described in the schedule of events.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• 1. Age is ≥ 18 years
• 2. Written informed consent provided prior to the initiation of study procedures
• 3. Histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate initially diagnosed ≤12 months of Screening. All biopsy slides with subject information redacted must be submitted for BICR.
• 4. Prostate cancer diagnosis determined by BICR as one of the following: 4a. ISUP Grade Group 1 with 3 or more cores positive from a systematic (≥10 cores) biopsy 4b. ISUP Grade Group 1 with ≥ 1 core positive with ≥50% cancer involvement from a systematic (≥10 cores) biopsy 4c. ISUP Grade Group 1 from 3 or more positive cores from any combination of cores from a systematic (≥10 cores) biopsy and MRI targeted biopsy (note: multiple cores from each MRI targeted lesion will count as 1 core) 4d. ISUP Grade Group 1 from a negative systematic (≥10 cores) biopsy and an MRI targeted core positive with ≥50% cancer involvement 4e. ISUP Grade Group 2 from a systematic (≥10 cores) biopsy with <50% of the total number of any cores positive for cancer 4f. ISUP Grade Group 2 from a negative systematic (≥10 cores) biopsy and MRI targeted core(s) positive for Gleason 3+4 (see note below) 4g. ISUP Grade Group 2 from any combination of cores from a systematic (≥10 cores) biopsy and MRI targeted biopsy (see note below)

Note for 4f and 4g: the total number of positive cores must be <50% of total cores from both the systematic biopsy and MRI targeted lesions; each MRI targeted lesion, irrespective of multiple positive cores, will each count as 1 core for the total number of positive cores, e.g., 4 targeted lesions with 2 positive cores each will only add 4 to the total core count.

• 5. Subject consents to standard of care for biopsy frequency of 2 on-study prostate biopsies and to provide biopsy tissue for study endpoint analysis.
• 6. Estimated life expectancy ≥ 10 years
• 7. Candidate for primary curative therapy (e.g., surgery or radiation) if prostate cancer progression occurs
• 8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
• 9. Adequate baseline hematologic, renal, and liver function tests as evidenced by laboratory test results within the following ranges ≤30 days prior to randomization White blood cell (WBC) count ≥ 3.0 x 10^6 cells/mL Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 10^6 cells/mL Platelet count ≥ 1.0 x10^5 cells/uL Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 10.0 g/dL Creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.0 x ULN Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.0 x ULN
