Lead Sponsor:

University of California, San Francisco

Conditions:

Prostate Cancer

Eligibility:

MALE

Phase:

PHASE2

Brief Summary

This is a Phase II study to test the efficacy of exogenously administered GM-CSF in prostate cancer patients who have failed definitive local therapy, and have only serologic (PSA) evidence of progres...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Histologic diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate; stage T1-T3, N0-N1, M0
  • Prior definitive therapy for primary prostate cancer consisting of:external beam radiotherapy;brachytherapy with or without pelvic external beam radiation; or radical prostatectomy with or without adjuvant or salvage radiation therapy
  • Therapeutic PSA response to primary therapy below 1.0 ng/ml post radiation therapy or below 0.4 ng/ml for radical prostatectomy
  • Patients treated with adjuvant or salvage radiation therapy following radical prostatectomy are eligible provided:Post prostatectomy PSA was never \> 6.0 ng/ml, last effective day of androgen deprivation is at least 3 months prior to study entry
  • Recurrent PSA level elevation (between 0.4 ng/ml and 6.0 ng/ml) on two determinations at least one week apart.
  • No clinical evidence of gross local recurrence or known metastatic disease other than PSA elevation. Transrectal ultrasound and/or biopsy to evaluate local recurrence is not required. All patients will receive a bone scan and CT scan of the abdomen to exclude metastases.
  • Estimated life expectancy of at least 6 months.
  • ECOG Performance status of 0 or 1.
  • Willing and able to give informed consent.

Exclusion

  • Cryosurgery as definitive therapy of primary tumor.
  • Any metastasis.
  • No concurrent or prior malignancy is allowed except for the following: adequately treated basal or squamous cell skin cancer, adequately treated Stage I or II cancer from which the patient is currently in complete remission, or any other cancer from which the patient has been disease-free for 5 years.
  • Current systemic steroid therapy (inhaled or topical steroids acceptable).
  • Prior hormonal therapy for treatment of progressive disease.
  • Prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or therapy with other experimental agents for prostate cancer.
  • Any surgery within the prior 4 weeks.
  • Bilirubin and SGOT \> 2 x upper limit of normal.
  • BUN and serum creatinine \> 2.0 times normal.
  • No active congestive heart failure.
  • If there is a history of clinically significant obstructive airway disease, a DLCO must exceed 50%.
  • Active uncontrolled bacterial, viral or fungal infection until these conditions are corrected or controlled.
  • Any underlying medical condition which in the principal investigator's opinion will make the administration of GM-CSF hazardous or obscure the interpretation of adverse events.
  • PSA \> 6.0 ng/ml
