Brief Summary
Background: Some people with prostate cancer have a rise in prostate-specific antigen (PSA). This can happen even after treatments like radiation and surgery. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) drugs...

Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and surveillance are treatment options for prostate cancer patients with biochemical progression after localized therapy (i.e., biochemically recurrent ...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion

- INCLUSION CRITERIA:
- Histopathological documentation of prostate cancer confirmed in either the Laboratory of Pathology at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center, or Walter Reed National Military Medical Center prior to enrollment. If no pathologic specimen is available, participants may enroll with a pathologist's report showing a histologic diagnosis of prostate cancer and a clinical course consistent with the disease.

- -Bilirubin less than or equal to upper limit of normal (ULN) (OR in participants with Gilbert's syndrome, a total bilirubin less than or equal to 3.0), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) less than or equal to 1.5 times upper limit of normal.
- Adequate renal function defined by an estimated creatinine clearance \> 50 mL/min according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula or by measure of creatinine clearance from 24-hour urine collection.
- No other active malignancies within the past 36 months (with the exception of nonmelanoma skin cancers or carcinoma in situ of the bladder) or life-threatening illnesses.
- Willing to travel to the NIH for follow-up visits.
- 18 years of age or older.
- Able to understand and sign informed consent.
- The effects Prostvac (rilimogene galvacirepvec/rilimogene glafolivec) and CV301 on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, men must agree to use highly effective contraception (that is, methods with a failure rate of less than 1% per year) prior to study entry, for the duration of study therapy and at least four months after the last treatment administration. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
- Additional Inclusion Criteria Specific to Safety Lead-In Cohort
- Castrate testosterone level (\<50ng/dl or 1.7nmol /L)
- Progressive disease at study entry defined as one or more of the following criteria occurring in the setting of castrate levels of testosterone:
- Radiographic progression defined as any new or enlarging bone lesions or growing lymph node disease, consistent with prostate cancer
- OR
- For Biochemical Recurrence:
- Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression defined by sequence of rising values separated by \>1 week (2 separate increasing values over a minimum of 2ng/ml (Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG2) PSA eligibility criteria). If participants had been on flutamide, PSA progression is documented 4 weeks or more after withdrawal. For participants on bicalutamide or nilutamide disease progression is documented 6 or more weeks after withdrawal.
- -Participants must agree to continuation of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist/antagonist or bilateral orchiectomy
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2 (Karnofsky \>80%).
- Hematological eligibility parameters (within 16 days before starting therapy):
- Granulocyte count greater than or equal to 1000/mm\^3
- Platelet count greater than or equal to 100 000/mm\^3
- Hemoglobin (Hgb) greater than or equal to 9 g/dL
- Prothrombin time (PT) less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN
- Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN
- Additional Inclusion Criteria Specific to Biochemical Recurrence Cohort
- Biochemical progression defined as follows:
- For participants following definitive radiation therapy: a rise in PSA of greater than or equal to 2 ng/mL above the nadir (per Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) -American Society for Therapeutic Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) consensus criteria)
- For participants following radical prostatectomy: rising PSA after surgical procedure (participants must have a PSA greater than or equal to 0.8 ng/mL)
- Participants must have a rising PSA as confirmed by 3 values a minimum of 1 week apart over at least a 1 month period of time.
- Participants must have a PSA doubling time of 5-15 months.
- ECOG performance status of 0-1 (Karnofsky greater than or equal to 80%).
- Negative computed tomography (CT) scan/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and bone scan for metastatic prostate cancer.
- Baseline testosterone greater than or equal to 100 ng/dl.
- PSA less than or equal to 30 ng/mL.

- Granulocyte count greater than or equal to 1000/mm3
- Platelet count greater than or equal to 100 000/mm3
- Hgb greater than or equal to 10 g/dL
- EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
- Immunocompromised status due to:
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positivity.
- Active autoimmune diseases such as Addison's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren syndrome, scleroderma, myasthenia gravis, Goodpasture syndrome or active Grave's disease.
- Participants with a history of autoimmunity that has not required systemic immunosuppressive therapy or does not threaten vital organ function including central nervous system (CNS), heart, lungs, kidneys, skin, and gastrointestinal (GI) tract will be allowed.
- Participants with diabetes type I, vitiligo, or alopecia are allowed.
- Other immunodeficiency diseases
- Splenectomy
- Receipt of any organ transplantation, including allogeneic stem-cell transplantation, but with the exception of transplants that do not require immunosuppression (e.g., corneal transplant, hair transplant).
