Vaccination of Prostate Cancer Patients With MUC-1-KLH Conjugate Plus the Immunological Adjuvant QS21: A Trial Examining the Immunogenicity of MUC-1 Glycopeptide Conjugate


OBJECTIVES: I. Determine if immunization with glycosylated MUC-1 antigen containing MUC-1
(106) with keyhole limpet hemocyanin conjugate plus immunological adjuvant QS21 induces an
antibody, helper T cell and/or cytotoxic T cell response against MUC-1 in patients with
prostate cancer expressing MUC-1. II. Determine post-immunization changes in PSA levels and
other objective parameters or disease (radionuclide bone scan and/or measurable disease if
present) in these patients after receiving this therapy.

OUTLINE: Patients receive glycosylated MUC-1 antigen containing MUC-1 (106) with keyhole
limpet hemocyanin conjugate subcutaneously (SQ) plus immunological adjuvant QS21 SQ on weeks
1-3, 7, 15, and 27 for a total of 6 vaccinations. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1
year or until documented disease progression.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: Histologically confirmed prostate cancer No radiographic evidence
of metastatic disease Must show signs of disease progression 3 or more rising PSA values
documented, taken at no less than weekly intervals, to greater than 50% above baseline PSA
PSA at least 1.0 ng/mL (post prostatectomy) OR 2.0 ng/mL (post radiation) Evaluable
disease by serial changes in PSA Progression after primary therapy to include surgery or
radiotherapy (with or without neoadjuvant androgen ablation), or intermittent hormonal
therapy with noncastrate levels of testosterone (greater than 50 ng/mL) allowed No soft
tissue and/or bone disease or androgen independent disease with no evidence of
radiographic disease No symptomatic disease or anticipated to be symptomatic within 6
months No active CNS or epidural tumor
