  • If the patient has received strontium-89 and alpha-radin, at least three months must have elapsed prior to entry in the study.
  • Informed consent and expected cooperation of the patients for the treatment and follow-up must be obtained and documented according to the ICH-GCP Guidelines.

Who cannot join

  • History of prior malignancy other than prostate cancer, clinically evident within the 24 months preceding enrolment into the study, except curatively-treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.

  • History of asthma, anaphylaxis or other serious adverse reactions to vaccines.
  • History of immunodeficiency or autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, polymyositis/dermatomyositis, juvenile onset insulin dependent diabetes, or a vasculitic syndrome.

  • Chemotherapy or other potentially immune-suppressive therapy that has been administered within 4 weeks prior to vaccination.
  • Impending untreated spinal cord compression or urinary outlet obstruction.
  • Any reason why, in the opinion of the investigator, the patient should not participate.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Dendritic Cells (DC) prostate in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Norway. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 May 2023.
