Brief Summary:
The main purpose of this study was to determine whether ADT started before or after sipuleucel-T led to a better immune system response. This study also evaluated the safety of sipuleucel-T and ADT treatment, immune system responses over time, the characteristics of sipuleucel-T, and changes in prostate specific antigen (PSA) values over time.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Prostatic Neoplasm Prostate Cancer Prostatic Adenocarcinoma Biological: sipuleucel-T Drug: leuprolide acetate Phase 2

Detailed Description:

Multicenter, randomized, open-label study, with subjects allocated (1:1) to 1 of 2 study arms, using a stratified randomization based on:

• Prostate-specific antigen doubling time (PSADT): ≤ 3 months or > 3 months and ≤ 12 months. • Primary therapy: radical prostatectomy (RP) or radiation, including brachytherapy, (XRT) or RP + XRT.

Arm 1: Subjects received one infusion of sipuleucel-T every two weeks for a total of three infusions. Two weeks after the third sipuleucel-T infusion, subjects started ADT with 45 mg leuprolide acetate depot injection (Eligard® 45 mg). An additional leuprolide acetate injection was administered at 6 months after the first injection for a total of 2 injections and 12 months of ADT.

Arm 2: Subjects started ADT with 45 mg leuprolide acetate depot injection (Eligard® 45 mg) 12 weeks before infusion 1 of sipuleucel-T. An additional leuprolide acetate injection was administered at 6 months after the first injection for a total of 2 injections and 12 months of ADT. Twelve weeks after the initial leuprolide 45 mg depot injection, subjects began one infusion of sipuleucel-T every two weeks for a total of three infusions.

Cellular and humoral immune responses were assessed for Arm 2 subjects at 12, 8, and 4 weeks pre infusion 1, and in all subjects (both arms) at pre-leukapheresis 1, 2, and 3, and post-infusion 1, 2 and 3, and at the following time points after the third infusion: Weeks 2, 6, and 12 and Months 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24.

Safety assessments included adverse event (AE) monitoring, laboratory tests (complete blood count (CBC) and serum chemistry), vital signs, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, physical examination, as well PSA and testosterone monitoring. The study was complete at the 27-Month visit for Arm 1 and the 24-Month visit for Arm 2.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Arm 1: Sipuleucel-T followed by ADT
Arm 1: Subjects received one infusion of sipuleucel-T every two weeks for a total of three infusions. Two weeks after the third sipuleucel-T infusion, subjects started ADT with 45 mg leuprolide acetate depot injection (Eligard® 45 mg). An additional leuprolide acetate injection was administered at 6 months after the first injection for a total of 2 injections and 12 months of ADT.
Biological: sipuleucel-T
Sipuleucel-T is an autologous cellular product consisting of antigen presenting cells (APCs) activated with PA2024, a recombinant fusion protein composed of prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), linked to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF).
Other Names:
  • PROVENGE®
  • APC8015

Drug: leuprolide acetate
45.0 mg depot injection, 2 doses 6 months apart
Other Name: Eligard®

Experimental: Arm 2: ADT followed by sipuleucel-T
Arm 2: Subjects started ADT with 45 mg leuprolide acetate depot injection (Eligard® 45 mg) 12 weeks before infusion 1 of sipuleucel-T. An additional leuprolide acetate injection was administered at 6 months after the first injection for a total of 2 injections and 12 months of ADT. Twelve weeks after the initial leuprolide 45 mg depot injection, subjects began one infusion of sipuleucel-T every two weeks for a total of three infusions.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Immune Response at Month 24 as Evaluated by IFN-γ ELISPOT Specific for PA2024 [ Time Frame: PA2024 ELISPOT counts at Month 24 ]
    Immune response at month 24 as evaluated by IFN-γ ELISPOT specific for PA2024 following sipuleucel-T/ADT treatment regimens to determine if order of administration impacted immune response.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants With Immune Response As Evaluated by IFN-γ ELISPOT Specific for PA2024 [ Time Frame: Month 24 ]
    A participant was considered to have an immune response it the post-baseline PA2024-specific IFN-g ELISPOT count was >18
