Phase 1 Trial of Interleukin 12 Gene Therapy for Locally Recurrent Prostate Cancer

Korábbi kezelés

• Prior radical prostatectomy, cryosurgery for prostate cancer, or bilateral orchiectomy for any reason
• If the subject had prior androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), the subject exhibited biochemical failure while on ADT
• Prior systemic chemotherapy for the study cancer (prior chemotherapy for a different cancer is allowed; however, subjects must be \> 2 years post-completion of chemotherapy at the time of registration. Subjects on Proscar therapy must stop to be eligible)
• Major surgery planned within 3 months of registration
• Previous history of liver disease including hepatitis
• Immunosuppressive therapy including systemic corticosteroids (use of inhaled and topical corticosteroids is permitted)
• Serious medical or psychiatric illness or concomitant medication, which, in the judgement of the principal investigator, might interfere with the subject's ability to respond to or tolerate the treatment or complete the trial

Más betegség

• Evidence of M1 metastatic disease
• New York Health Association Class II or greater congestive heart failure or active ventricular arrhythmia requiring medication
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation or other respiratory illness requiring hospitalization within last 3 months or precluding study therapy at the time of registration
• Acute infection
• Impaired immunity or susceptibility to serious viral infections
• Allergy to any product used in the protocol. If the subject has an allergy to Ciproflaxin, another antibiotic can be substituted at the discretion of the treating physician

Életkor

• Prior invasive malignancy except for non-melanoma skin cancer within 5 years of enrollment. Subjects must be disease-free for \> 5 years
