Summary

Background: - Enzalutamide is a hormone therapy that is used to treat advanced prostate cancer. It is given after chemotherapy and surgery to help the body destroy the cancer cells. A new possible way of treating prostate cancer is using a vaccine that may help stimulate the immune system. It will help white blood cells recognize and kill the cancer cells in and around the prostate. Researchers want to see whether this vaccine, given with enzalutamide, is more effective at treating advanced prostate cancer than enzalutamide alone. Objectives: - To compare the safety and effectiveness of enzalutamide with and without vaccine therapy for advanced prostate cancer. Eligibility: - Men at least 18 years of age who have advanced castration-resistant prostate cancer. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Imaging studies will be used to monitor the cancer before treatment. * Participants will be separated into two groups. One group will have enzalutamide and the study vaccine. The other group will have enzalutamide alone. * All participants will take enzalutamide once a day. They will take the drug during 4-week cycles of treatment. * Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies. Participants will continue to take the study drug for as long as the cancer does not grow, and the side effects are not severe. * The vaccine group of participants will also have the new study vaccine. They will have a single injection on the first day of the first study cycle. There will be regular booster injections afterward. There will be one on day 15 of the first cycle, the first day of the second cycle. The vaccine will then be given every 4 weeks for the next four cycles, and then every 12 weeks (every 3 cycles) thereafter. Participants will continue to have the study vaccine for as long as the cancer does not grow, and the side effects are not severe.

Eligibility Criteria

  • INCLUSION CRITERIA:
  • Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed prostate cancer confirmed by either the Laboratory of Pathology at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center or Walter Reed National Military Medical Center at Bethesda prior to starting this study. If no pathologic specimen is available, patients may enroll with a pathologist's report showing a histological diagnosis of prostate cancer and a clinical course consistent with the disease.
  • Castrate testosterone level ( 1 week (2 separate increasing values over a minimum of 2ng/ml (Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group (PCWG2) PSA eligibility criteria). If patients had been on flutamide, PSA progression is documented 4 weeks or more after withdrawal.

The requirement for a 4-6 weeks withdrawal period following discontinuation of flutamide, nilutamide or bicalutamide only applies to patients who have been on these drugs for at least the prior 6 months. For all other patients they must stop bicalutamide, nilutamide or flutamide the day prior to enrollment.

  • Asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic from prostate cancer; no use of regularly scheduled opiate analgesics for prostate cancer-related pain
  • Patients must agree to continue to continuation of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue/antagonist or bilateral orchiectomy
  • Age greater than or equal to 18 years.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status less than or equal to 1 (Karnofsky greater than or equal to 80%).
  • Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
  • absolute neutrophil count greater than or equal to 1,500/mcL
  • platelets greater than or equal to 100,000/mcL
  • total bilirubin within normal institutional limits; for patients with Gilbert's syndrome, total bilirubin less than or equal to 3.0mg/dL
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) serum glutamic pyruvic transferase (SGPT) less than or equal to 2.5 times institutional upper limit of normal
  • creatinine within 1.5 X normal institutional limits, OR
  • creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal by Cockcroft-Gault Equation
  • The effects of enzalutamide alone or in combination with PSA-TRICOM on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation and for three (3) months after the last dose of enzalutamide. 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.
  • Ability of subject to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

EXCLUSION CRITERIA

  • Patients who are immunocompromised as listed as follows:
  • Human immunodeficiency virus positivity due to the potential for decreased tolerance and may be at risk for severe side effects
  • Chronic administration (defined as daily or every other day for continued use >14 days) of systemic corticosteroids (including steroid eye drops) or other immune suppressive drugs, within 28 days before the first planned dose of PSA-TRICOM. Nasal, or inhaled steroid, and topical steroid creams for small body areas are not excluded.
  • Patients who have undergone allogeneic peripheral stem cell transplantation, or solid organ transplantation requiring immunosuppression
  • History of splenectomy
  • History of, or active autoimmune disease (such as Autoimmune neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, or hemolytic anemia, systemic lupus erythematosis, Sjogrens syndrome, scleroderma, myasthenia gravis, Goodpasture's syndrome, Addisons disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Crohn's or Grave's disease). Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus or vitiligo are no
