Trial of pTVG-HP+Nivo+Targeted Ablation of Resistant Lesions in Non-Castrate RecurrentOMPC (NCT07090148)
Pilot Trial of a DNA Vaccine Encoding Prostatic Acid Phosphatase (pTVG-HP) and PD-1 Blockade, With Targeted Ablation of Resistant Lesions, in Patients With Non-Castrate Recurrent Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether an experimental vaccine called pTVG-HP ("vaccine" or "DNA vaccine"), combined with a drug called nivolumab can increase the cancer-fighting ability of a person's immune cells. The main question it aims to answer is whether the combination of medicines can get rid of metastatic tumors in participants with non-castrate, recurrent, oligometastatic prostate cancer. Participants will undergo: * Treatment with pTVG-HP * Treatment with Nivolumab * Radiation Therapy
Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (14 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (11 items).
Location: University of Wisconsin - Madison — Madison, Wisconsin

🧪 Interventions in This Study
📋 "Do I Qualify?" — 1-Minute Self Screener
Instant ChecklistCheck every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).
Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:
- Exclusion Criteria:
- Small cell or other variant prostate cancer histology
- Participants cannot have evidence of immunosuppression or have been treated with immunosuppressive therapy, such as chemotherapy or chronic treatment dose corticosteroids (greater than the equivalent of 10 mg prednisone per day), within 3 months of the first vaccination.
- Seropositive for HIV, hepatitis B (HBV) or hepatitis C (HCV) per patient history due to the immunosuppressive features of these diseases.
- Prior treatment with an LHRH agonist or nonsteroidal antiandrogen, except in the following circumstances: Neoadjuvant/adjuvant androgen deprivation therapy administered with radiation therapy or at the time of prostatectomy is acceptable, provided that there was no evidence of PSA progression while on treatment. In this situation, patients must not have received more than 24 months of androgen deprivation treatment. Other treatment with androgen deprivation therapy is prohibited.
- Serum testosterone at screening \< 50 ng/dL.
- Participants must not be concurrently taking other medications or supplements with known hormonal effects, including PC-SPES, megestrol acetate, finasteride, ketoconazole, estradiol, or Saw Palmetto. All other medications with possible anti-cancer effects must be discussed with the PI prior to study entry.
- Participants previously treated with other potential or experimental therapies for prostate cancer must have discontinued these treatments and completed at least a 4 week washout prior to beginning treatment.
- Participants must not have known psychological or sociological conditions, addictive disorders or family problems, which would preclude compliance with the protocol.
- Participants with unstable or severe intercurrent medical conditions or laboratory abnormalities that would impart, in the judgment of the PI, excess risk associated with study participation or study agent administration.
- Participants who have concurrent enrollment on other phase I, II, or III investigational therapeutic treatment studies for prostate cancer cannot be actively receiving treatment and the last dose cannot be within 4 weeks of day 1. They must be in the follow up phase of the study.
