Brief Title: Dose Finding Study of a DNA Vaccine Delivered With Intradermal Electroporation in Patients With Prostate Cancer
Official Title: DNA Vaccine Coding for the Rhesus Prostate Specific Antigen (rhPSA) and Electroporation in Patients With Relapsed Prostate Cancer. A Phase I/II Study
Study ID: NCT00859729
Brief Summary: This study will assess the feasibility and safety of vaccination with increasing doses of xenogenic DNA administered intradermally in combination with electroporation in patients with relapse of prostate cancer. The DNA encodes prostate specific antigen (PSA) from Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta), a protein that is 89% homologous to human PSA. The study will also assess the safety and functionality of the DERMA VAX™ (Cyto Pulse Sciences) DNA vaccine delivery system.
