A Pilot Study of Hormonal Therapy Combined With Central Memory T Cells (Tcm) for Patients With Advanced Prostate Cancer
- Conditions
- Prostatic Neoplasms
- Interventions
- Biological: Tcm+ Goserelin acetate+ BicalutamideBiological: Tcm+Goserelin acetate+Abiraterone acetate
- Registration Number
- NCT03587285
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, safety and oncological efficacy of hormonal therapy combined with autologous Tcm cells for patients with advanced prostate cancer.
- Detailed Description
Adoptive cancer immunotherapy,the infusion of tumor-reactive T cells to patients,represents a promising approach for the treatment of advanced metastatic disease.It has been shown that central memory T cells (Tcm) were the optimal antitumor T cells for adoptive cell transfer in cancer patients.However,the potential of autologous Tcm cells to treat the advanced prostate cancer has not been evaluated.
This is an open-label pilot study to determine if the infusion of autologous Tcm cells combined with hormonal therapy is safe and effective for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer.This study will have the following two cohorts:Cohort A) metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) treated with maximal androgen blockade plus autologous Tcm cells and Cohort B) metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treated with abiraterone acetate plus autologous Tcm cells.A total of 60 evaluable subjects will be enrolled over an enrollment period of 24 months.The study is planned to enroll approximately 30 evaluable subjects in each treatment cohort.

- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description Arm 1 Tcm+ Goserelin acetate+ Bicalutamide metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC):After diagnosis of mHSPC, patients receive infusions of autologous Tcm cells intravenously on Day 1 and Day 42, followed by hormonal therapy of maximal androgen blockade (LHRH-a + Anti-androgen). Arm 2 Tcm+Goserelin acetate+Abiraterone acetate metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC):After diagnosis of mCRPC, patients receive infusions of autologous Tcm cells intravenously on Day 1 and Day 42, followed by goserelin acetate monthly. Abiraterone acetate 1000 mg orally daily plus prednisone 5 mg orally twice daily will be also administered continuously during the duration of the trial.
