Study of RV001V in Biochemical Failure Following Curatively Intended Therapy For Localized Prostate Cancer

This Phase II trial will enroll approximately 180 adult male patients with an earlier histologic diagnosis of prostatic adenocarcinoma and a biochemical recurrence (BCR) within 3 years of radical prostatectomy (RP) or definitive RT and no distant metastasis or locoregional recurrence. The trial is a randomized placebo-controlled double-blind study of a peptide cancer vaccine (RV001V).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

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

Treatment and study plan

RV001V

Biological

RV001V consists of the peptide RV001 and the adjuvant Montanide ISA 51. RV001 Vaccine 0.1 mg/mL (RV001V).

Placebo

Other

Placebo consist of the vaccine vehicle and the adjuvant Montanide ISA 51. Placebo

Primary outcomes

  1. 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.

Secondary outcomes

  1. 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

  2. Time to initiation of a subsequent antineoplastic therapy

    Time frame: Up to 3 years

  3. Proportion of patients showing a PSA response from baseline

    Time frame: Up to 3 years

  4. 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)
