FK-PC101 as Adjuvant Therapy for Men With High-Risk Prostate Cancer

Description

This is a multicenter, adaptive, Phase 2, randomized, open-label study designed to evaluate the efficacy of FK-PC101 adjuvant therapy in men with localized prostate cancer who have undergone radical prostatectomy (RP). Subjects will undergo a 3-step screening and enrollment process. Following an initial safety run-in that will include at least three subjects assigned to receive FK-PC101 vaccine and monitored closely for safety, subjects randomized to the vaccine group will receive up to 7 doses of FK-PC101, starting at 2 months post-RP. Subjects in the control group will receive standard-of-care. All subjects will have assessments at 60 days (2 months), 90 days (3 months) and 180 days (6 months) and then continue with follow-up visits at 10, 14, 18, and 22 months after randomization.

FK-PC101 is an autologous cellular vaccine, with each product being manufactured from a portion of tumor from each subject’s prostatectomy specimen. The primary endpoint of DFS will be compared with the control group, who will also meet all eligibility criteria but who do not receive any postoperative adjuvant therapy.

Subjects will undergo a three-step eligibility process with criteria prior to RP, immediately following RP and 2 months post-RP/immediately prior to randomization.

Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 open-label fashion to the vaccine group and the control group. Subjects will be stratified based on pathologic nodal status (pN0 vs. pN1). Subjects in the vaccine group will initiate vaccine dosing with up to 7 doses given between Day 1 and Day 180 (on Days 1, 8, 15, 22, 60, 90 and 180). Subjects randomized to the control group will be followed through 8 follow-up visits through month 22 (2 years post-surgery).

Following disease recurrence, all subjects may be treated with other prostate cancer therapies as deemed appropriate. Subjects in the control group will be eligible to receive their vaccine after disease recurrence has been documented. For subjects in the control group who elect to receive their vaccine, it must be started within 1 year of randomization. The vaccine doses may be administered prior to, during, or following other prostate cancer therapies but will follow the same schedule as for the subjects in the vaccine group.
