Neoadjuvant J591 Treatment for Prostate Cancer

This is an open-label, single center pilot study to evaluate the efficacy of huJ591 to trigger antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) response manifested by a peri-tumoral inflammatory response with or without apoptosis of prostate cancer cells in patients diagnosed with either high or intermediate-risk prostate cancer. To participate the patients will be required to meet all eligibility criteria. Patients may not participate in other clinical trials while undergoing therapeutic treatment.

The initial screening period (up to 28 days prior to start of treatment under this clinical trial) consists of visit to confirm eligibility, discuss the risks / benefits of participating in the trial and radical prostatectomy (with or without lymph node dissection), and obtain patient prostate biopsy samples for anti-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expression review. An enrolled subject's participation in the study entails approximately 6 to 7 weeks of therapy along with the additional 2 weeks time involved in recovery from a radical prostatectomy. Adverse events will be collected throughout the entirety of the study. The total duration of the patient being in the study can be around 9 to 11 weeks. Medical information/Survival information will be collected from the routine followup visits (standard of care) for up to 3 years after the surgery.
