Official Title: Trimodality Approach of Low Dose iOnizing Radiation With or Without Neoadjuvant Pembrolizumab and Prostatectomy for Men With Intermediate/High Risk Prostate Cancer (TALON)
Study ID: NCT04569461
Brief Summary: This study will enroll prostate cancer patients with an unfavorable diagnosis. Subjects will receive a combination of pembrolizumab, Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) to the prostate, and short-term androgen deprivation therapy (STADT or Short-term ADT). After receiving this "trimodal therapy", subjects will undergo a radical prostatectomy. The prostate tissue will be analyzed for differences in pathology and local immune cell infiltration, and subjects will be followed for 2 years to watch for prostate specific antigen (PSA) recurrence. The PSA results will be analyzed by comparing them to historical controls that have already been published, to learn if this therapy approach delays PSA rise.
