Study Description

Brief Summary:

This is a randomized, open-label study designed to assess the effects of sipuleucel-T when administered concurrently or sequentially with enzalutamide.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Metastatic Prostate Cancer	Biological: sipuleucel-T; Drug: enzalutamide	Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This is a randomized, open-label study designed to assess the effects of sipuleucel-T when administered concurrently or sequentially with enzalutamide. This study consists of 3 phases. The screening phase will begin at the completion of the informed consent process and continue through registration. The active phase will begin at registration and continue through the post-treatment visit (30 to 37 days following the last study treatment). The long term follow-up (LTFU) phase will begin after the post-treatment visit and will continue until the subject's death or until Dendreon terminates the study.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Concurrent Arm; Subjects will receive sipuleucel-T concurrently with enzalutamide (160 mg orally once daily). Enzalutamide treatment will start 2 weeks prior to the first leukapheresis and continue for 52 weeks or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, whichever occurs first.	Biological: sipuleucel-T; Sipuleucel-T is an autologous cell product consisting of antigen presenting cells (APCs) loaded with PA2024, a recombinant fusion protein composed of prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), linked to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF).; Other Names: PROVENGE(R); APC8015; Drug: enzalutamide; Enzalutamide is an androgen receptor inhibitor. It is indicated for the treatment of patients with mCRPC who have previously received docetaxel. The enzalutamide dose used in this study will be 160 mg orally once daily.; Other Name: Xtandi
Experimental: Sequential Arm; Subjects will receive sipuleucel-T followed by enzalutamide (160 mg orally once daily). Enzalutamide treatment will start approximately 10 weeks after the first infusion of sipuleucel-T and continue for 52 weeks or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, whichever occurs first.	Biological: sipuleucel-T; Sipuleucel-T is an autologous cell product consisting of antigen presenting cells (APCs) loaded with PA2024, a recombinant fusion protein composed of prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), linked to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF).; Other Names: PROVENGE(R); APC8015; Drug: enzalutamide; Enzalutamide is an androgen receptor inhibitor. It is indicated for the treatment of patients with mCRPC who have previously received docetaxel. The enzalutamide dose used in this study will be 160 mg orally once daily.; Other Name: Xtandi

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. To Evaluate Peripheral PA2024-specific T Cell Proliferation Response to Sipuleucel-T Over Time Via a T Cell Stimulation Index (SI). [ Time Frame: Each patient was followed for up to 52 weeks after the first dose of sipuleucel-T. Immune sample draws during the treatment period (Week 0 through Week 4) were to be performed at the patient's pre-leukapheresis visits (Pre-Leuk 2 and Pre-Leuk 3). ]
   PA2024-specific T cell proliferation responses over time will be compared between the concurrent arm and sequential arm using a repeated measurement mixed model analysis. The unit of analysis for the T cell proliferation data is the stimulation index, defined as the median 3H uptake of 3 wells exposed to antigen divided by the median 3H thymidine uptake of 3 wells exposed to media. The stimulation index will be log-transformed prior to analysis.

Basal or squamous cell skin cancers must have been adequately treated and the subject must be disease free at the time of registration. Subjects with a history of stage 1 or 2 cancer must have been adequately treated and been disease free for ≥ 3 years at the time of registration.
