Brief Title: Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Prostate Cancer
Official Title: A Phase 2 Study of Prostate Specific Antigen Peptide 3A (PSA: 154-163(155L) ) (NSC # 722932, IND#9787) With Montanide ISA-51(NSC #675756, IND #9787) or Montanide® ISA 51 VG (NSC 737063) Vaccination in Prostate Cancer Recurrent
Study ID: NCT00109811
Brief Summary: This phase II trial is studying how well vaccine therapy works in treating patients with recurrent prostate cancer. Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the T-lymphocyte immune response in patients with recurrent adenocarcinoma of the prostate treated with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) peptide vaccine (PSA-3A; PSA: 154-163 \[155L\]) emulsified in Montanide ISA-51. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the toxicity of this vaccine in these patients. II. Determine the effect of this vaccine on serum PSA level in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a pilot study. Patients receive prostate-specific antigen (PSA) peptide vaccine (PSA-3A; PSA: 154-163 \[155L\]) emulsified in Montanide ISA-51 subcutaneously once in weeks 0, 2, 4, 6, 10, 14, and 18 in the absence of disease progression\* or unacceptable toxicity. NOTE: \*A rise in PSA alone is not considered disease progression. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 1 and 4 weeks.
